Its a long shot but Sween Macdonald died in 1893 in Hay.

His Will was granted probate in 1894.

I am not good with NSW research but someone may help you find the will. His siblings might be mentioned.
Gadsby's, Farmers, Neals - Leicestershire
Freemans, Littles, Corbetts, Branns - Australia

Sorting your chap from all the other Donald MacDonalds may not be that easy :o Do you have his parents names?

Hi,

Of course, there is no way to tell which Donald McDonald I am typing info up on, when it is from the historic 19th Century NSW electoral rolls, as there is little identifying info....  The local Police were responsible for compiling the rolls. 


1870 NSW Electoral Roll THE BOGAN  (Several police districts including part of Forbes PD)
In the Coonamble PD  :  Donald McDONALD, residence Tunda,  Manline Creek
In the Bourke PD  :  Donald McDONALD, residence, Charlton, Bogan River
Noticing NONE surnamed McDonald/MacDonald/ in that electorate in the Forbes PD


1870 NSW ER THE LACHLAN  (Several PDs including part of Forbes PD)
Donald McDONALD, residence, Emu Creek Gold Field, (Forbes PD)
Emu Creek is GRENFELL   http://www.grenfell.org.au/history/

Cheers,  JM

Hi there,

I see you have quoted my post from back in October 2013.   Is there something further that you are seeking about that post?
