[edit]He was born in 1841 at Sherbrooke Street in Montreal.[2] He was the son of John Gordon Mackenzie (1796–1881), a wealthy dry goods merchant and native of Dingwall. Mackenzie's mother was a daughter of the Hon. Horatio Yates.[3] Mackenzie was educated at McGill University and was called to the Lower Canada bar in 1862.
Frederick Mackenzie was a captain in the militia and served during the Fenian raids. He was a lay secretary for the Church of England in Quebec and Montreal.[4] His election in 1874 was declared void by reason of bribery by his agents;[5] he was elected again in a by-election held in December that year. That election was also declared void and Thomas Workman was elected in a by-election held the following year.[2]
