Hi,
Sorry to intrude in this search, however I wonder if you may be able to help me with one of my brick walls. I saw you have an Archibald and wonder if the puzzle pieces fit.
My 4th great grandfather was Archibald McDonald born 1822/1823 in Crosslee. I have no parents for him and wonder if your Donald & Jean may be them. I have a marriage for Archibald on 17 May 1846 in Glasgow to Elizabeth Paton daughter of John Paton and Margaret McEwan, she was born in Paisley. I do not have a death cert for Archibald but know his death from children marriage certs and census was after 1901. The couple stayed in Glasgow mainly but were in Edinburgh during 1851 census and various sections of Glasgow thereafter.
Archibald & Elizabeth had the following children:
Margaret b. 1848 d. 1901 married William Wallace (my 3rd great grandparents)
Jane b. 1849 married William Miller
Archibald b. 1851
John b. 1853
Daniel b. 1855
Elizabeth b. 1857
Alexander b. 1860
James b. 1862
Matthew b. 1864
Withen sp??? b. 1865 (from census was illegible)
Do you think there is a connection? If so I would like to share info.
