could Donald be the illegitimate son of one of the Livingston girls . It was not uncommon for children to be known by their father's surname.

Great minds Looby....

I thought Mary Livingston to be his mother?

Mary as mother would be my first instinct too, Annie.

Of course , the older girl Catherine who is not listed with the family could be the mother. Have you found Catherine on the 1851 Census, Torrie ?

Looby :)

Has Donald been found on 1861 under all possible surnames i.e Cameron/Livingston & any marital surnames of the possible mothers?

No success searching for Donald in the 1861 census under both Livingstone and Cameron.

Catherine I found in 1861 as a servant with a family last name Douglas ....no connection yet
