MacDonald

Gets confusing when researching bride/groom both McDonald (as I know with big MacDonald line) doesn't it 

Cookies, your question regarding the parents of James McDonald, father of Robert. Someone else has been researching this line, from 2001:

I recently received a death cert for myggg-grandfather, James McDonald. James was married to Agnes STEVENSON. Both were from Dalry. James was born in 1825 and was an iron worker. I was
wondering if anyone may be researching his parents by any chance; James McDonald and Janet Cruickshanks.....

Given Robert went on to marry a Janet Cruickshanks McDonald, likely a strong family connection between the families?

  I can see now it was the Roberts and Janets too that I was confusing! 

Anyway Joe going back to your original query...........if you have researched Robert McDonald, who married Janet Cruickshanks McDonald, and found that his grandfather was James the Seaman married to Jean Stewart then I'm pretty sure that is the family who lived at Windmill Street, Ardrossan as in my first reply.

Hope I've got it right this time.
