I am trying to trace the parents of James Macdonald born about 1774 in the Logierait area, he married Janet Connachar from Logierait on 8/6/1792
Because I do not know the names of the parents I am unable to find and pick the correct parents of James because in my search there are more than one set to choose from, I was hoping that there may be a gravestone in the local burial area's that would mention James Macdonald son of -----? who was married to Janet Connacher, that way I would know the name of the parents
I can't find the death of James so I presume he died before 1855. His family were all born in Logierait so I presume he died there.
Is there any one who can help with MI details or advice.
Can't see him in the Logierait MI's. Sometimes the 'fermtowns' the family was born/married in are a good guide as to which parents are relevant Use the 18th century Stobie Map in the NLS for reference or let me know the family/fermtown options.
