Hi,

I just checked and there is only one IGI Extracted record in Scotland for a Mathew McDonald born within 20 years of 1800, and that is the one born in Cleish.

Even though he was much older, this Mathew does now seem likely to be my ancestor, though I don't see how I can know for sure.

Only other showing on SP is:

Dalkeith, ML - 13 Mar 1800 - Alexander Mathew. Parents Alexander McDonald and Elisabeth Smith

This seems far less likely.

It's virtually impossible to be 100% that the Cleish one is him. The only way is to try to find another one who either died or married which could be him.

Also, try finding any other children of John McDonald and Janet Rutherfield.

Good Luck
