McDonald's of Crawfordjohn
« on: Thursday 23 June 16 20:48 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information about the McDonalds that lived in Crawfordjohn/Crawford in lanarkshire around 1740.
The information that I have suggests that John McDonald and Bethia/Bessy Neilson got married on 06/04/1739 and had a few children.  The ones that I know of include Thomas McDonald (born 1747,married and Espie), Janet McDonald (born1745) and William McDonald (born 22/06/1740).

William McDonald and Janet Aitchison then had a couple of kids:
James (7/12/1768-1885), John (6/7/1770), Thomas (1773), Betty (9/29/1776), James (9/4/1786-88), Jean (9/4/1786), James (10/11/1789).

I am looking for any info on John and Bethia/Bessy (DOB, death, anything!)

Thanks

There was a Margaret born to them in 1744. John may have had a brother, Alexander, who was married to an Ann Carmichael.

Are you a descendant of these McDonald's?

I have found some loose connections to this family that perhaps connect to my family that I am exploring.

This is my direct line - the Thomas McDonald who married Sophia Espie was the son of William and Janet, not the Thomas who was the son of John & Bessy.  I have a lot of info on descendents of William & Janet, but not much on John & Bessy - just their marriage certificate and William's birth cert.  Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Hello! I know this thread is a bit dated now but I have hit a wall with John Mcdonald and Bethia Neilson. I have nothing other than their proclamation of marriage record. I am specifically trying to follow this paternal line of Mcdonald’s. Where did John come from?? Any leads/info is much appreciated!

Hi - I can't get any further back than that.  I do have the baptism of their son William and most of his descendants if you are interested.

I am interested in the  families of John McDonald and Bessie Neilson.  Their son John married Jean Ewart.  William McDonald married Margaret Hair.      John and Bessie are my 5X great grandparents.  Family lived in Leadhills at some stage.

William (Son of John and Bessy) married Janet Aitchison.  It was their son, also William, who married Margret Hair.  PM me for more info if required.
