Mackenzie's mother was a daughter of the Hon. Horatio Yates. 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. His election in 1874 was declared void by reason of bribery by his agents; 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.
