Any suggestions for parents names please

I have John and Hannah Mckenzie (no marriage found)

John Mckenzie - no idea of his parents
Hannah Brown - William Brown and Margaret Newton

Hannah's parents were

William Brown - no idea of his parents
Margaret Newton - William Newton and Catherine Doig

Children of John and Hannah

Margaret - after Hannah's mother?
Catherine - after Hannah's grandmother
Hannah - after mother?
John - after father?
Mary Anne -
William
Thomas
Matthew
Jane

As I can't find a birth for John Mackenzie in Kendal, Westmoreland c1819

or William Brown c1800 Tweedmouth, Northumberland am a bit stumped.

Any ideas?

Do you know for sure that there were no other children born to the couple, JBee? Could there be some who died young who fit in gaps between the ones you know of? Because if so, you would need their names too to look for a naming pattern.

Thanks Kite

I'd forgotten I'd asked before (twice even lol)

I did find some more children which I thought were correct but now think they belong to another Michael and Mary Anne Mckenzie nee Brown both born in Sunderland whereas John was born in Kendal/Standish Westmoreland and Hannah in Berwick on Tweed.

So have only put ones I know that were living with John and Hannah in the census's.
