I don't want to order a death record until I find out for sure it is for him, there seemed to be a few "James McDonald's" in the area around this time. I thank you for ANY help you are able to give!

Macdonell's, Knoydart, 1773 I may be wrong and I don't want to teach anyone to suck eggs but I have a feeling there may be some confusion creeping into the translation of patronymics here and there that could throw out the father to son succession.

Having problems finding any record of William McDonald's birth in Paisley about 1830 and any record of his marriage to Mary Wilson also in Paisley in 1854. His death cert. from 1872 gives his parents as Angus McDonald and Janet Fairlie but I have been unable to find records for them either.

MacDonald's of Twechar/Kirkintilloch Daniel Martin McDonald (1893-1967) was their oldest son. The county councillor died in 1948 in Townhead, they missed out his middle name on his death certificate which I have a copy of 644 / 6 / 421. He was also made the Justice of Peace a couple months before he died The generation before him is confusing which I have made topics about before, but he was ...

Interestingly the middle names for Robert McDonald's children are unfortunately wide and varied but I can understand how similar Addie and Eadie probably sounded.

Christina Stuart MacDonald b1833 Blair Athole to Donald MacD & Margt Robertson Thank you too Throth, I have gone through your site a week ago, a great resource, however your local knowledge is special stuff. My apologies for some misleading initial info - it was actually 2 of Christina's grandchildren who were given Stuart as middle names. Christina's eldest with Henry Harvey was John Charles ...
