Hi Bob2399,
If you go into ,The national Archives, uk.
then, The Catalogue.
Up the top, click on ,Search the Archives, the drop down,
to Procat, then search. and put in Donald McDonald,
under WO.
4 possibles come up.
wo97/887/104, and 105, and 106, and 107.
the first one, is very likely your fellow. It would have meant that he received his Medel, quite a bit later.
With these numbers, you can order the paper work. for very little. they require, a down payment of about 10 pounds , then they give you a quote, and the total cost comes out of the first money you send them, It is a great deal.
regards.

Hi Bob,
Yes!
I am sorry, you are right! 
Later when I looked again, I realised I was swayed by the fact youput the thread on R&C. That's why I thought the wrong guy was right. 
I think there was one discharged 1838? from Farr?
Anyway good luck.

i HAVEN'T YET, DONE THIS......[ ordering the documents]
BUT,
you can put in 78th, and up comes all the pay lists, in yearly quarters, for all that reg: like I said I haven't got around to doing this, so can't say what you would receive, but I am presuming that if you picked the right quarter where your man was definitely in the service, you will see all men listed, plus your man. if this is the case. then you could be futher along in pin pointing your fellow.
