Renfrewshire / Re: Looking for the Children of Alexander McDonald and Margaret Walker - Glasgow

Hi Skoosh,
Thank you for the tip, I'll have a look. The mother Margaret, was actually born Margaret Flockhart Dixon to John Dixon & Jane Meek. At some stage John changed his name to John Dixon Walker, just a bit of trivia as I'm chasing the MacDonald line.
I find Scotlandspeople hard to use, the search engines aren't particularly user friendly

Hi Kim,
Thank you so much for your help.
I will now be able to go back & have another look at this family. I'm please to see that Ann is still listed as Ann C McDonald so I might be able to find a marriage or death for her now. I'll put another post on here & ask if anyone knows at what age children had to leave the Orphanage.
Thansk agin Dee

Hi,
Hoping a kind person might look up an article on a drowning for me please. Mrs Margaret McKinlay of Peggy's Mill Road, Haymarket, City of Edinburgh, died 22 Feb 1958, drowned in the River Almond. She was last seen several days before & was the widow of Andrew McKinlay (a retired clerk with the Air Ministry).
Thankyou in advance Dee
