The RFA was royal field artillery and a Driver would have been driving a team of horses at that time - with the guns on the back - have a google, you should get some really interesting stuff and some illustrations to add to your tree.

Ian, I can only tell you that it is related to the military. Posslibly Royal Field Artillery? I don't know though. I'm sure if you asked over on Rootschat (great web site for advice and help), someone will know. I feel your pain with the Mac/Mckenzie's - I'm in the same boat! However; if you can give me any other info you have about them, I would be happy to see what I can find on the Scottish Census.
