Who his wives were is very much in question as pointed out by DougHickling.
"(Duncan Warrand) Although giving Alexander Ionraic a place in the earlyMackenzie pedigree, he was unwilling to do the same for either or both ofAlexander's purported wives, saying, at 3:
Into the question of Alexander's marriages, real or imaginary, it isnot proposed to enter."

Jean Dunlop, PhD, in her concise THE CLAN MACKENZIE, first published in1953, reaches a similar result, by largely ignoring the traditionalpedigrees of the early chiefs. Dunlop, in her own name and as aco-author with her husband, R. W. Munro, is one of Scotland's mosteminent historians. At page 5, she states that "the original Kenneth,who lived in the thirteenth century, is said to have descended from ayounger son of Gilleoin of the Aird." Her detailed genealogicaldiscussion of the early Mackenzies starts with Alexander Ionraic, butshe, too, does not identify his wife. The first Mackenzie wifeidentified by Dunlop is Alexander's daughter-in-law, "a daughter of LordLovat," who married Alexander's son, "Kenneth of the battle."

The same pattern is again followed in the most recently publishedpedigree of the early Mackenzies in BURKE'S PEERAGE & BARONETAGE (106thedition, 1999)."

"Like Warrand, the BURKE'S editors apparently regarded the traditionalidentity of Alexander's wife or wives to be lacking sufficientreliability to be included."
He concludes "The names of the wives assigned to Alexander MackenzieIonraic similarly lack credibility. Well into the 19th century, somefamily historians argued that his first wife was a daughter of the firstEarl of Argyll, and they would no doubt continue to do so, but for thefact that it was shown to be a chronological impossibility. The claimthat he married daughters of two unrelated Macdougal families seems toocoincidental to be accepted, especially when neither of these familiesseems to have asserted the existence of such a daughter or marriage. Thefact that one of these alleged wives, Anna Macdougal, if she existed atall, is said to have been a granddaughter of Colin (Sir) (of Glenurchy)Campbell, himself a descendant of King Robert III of Scotland, mayaccount for the fact that earlier generations of Mackenzie historiansclung to her in their pedigrees."
