hi norrie

sorry , that was from the IGI
didn't have much luck in finding children so tried freeCEN

1841(all born peebleshire)
north gate peebles peebleshire
james donaldson 35 ag lab.
janet donaldson 35
rachel donaldson 14
euphemia donaldson 11
margt donaldson 9
james donaldson 7
janet donaldson 5

1851
northgate peebles peebleshire
james donaldson 45 agricultural labourer b. peebles peebleshire
janet wife 52 b. newlands peebleshire
euphemia daug. 20 ag. lab. b. peebles
jessie daug. 15 b. peebles
MARY TAIT grndaug. 6 b. peebles
margaret tinline grndaug. 3m b. melrose roxburgh

when i saw mary tait and granddaughter i couldn't believe it
however -

1861
old town southside peebles peebleshire
rachel aitken 34 labourers wife b. west linton peebleshire
MARY DONALDSON daug. 16 woolen weaver b. peebles

now there is a submitted entry on IGI -

rachel donaldson father james donal(dson) mother janet irvins
spouse alexander aiken
marriage 28th sep. 1855 castle and portsburgh edinburgh midlothian

so was mary donaldson(tait) actually the daughter of rachel donaldson and
passed off as the daughter of james and janet ? 

1871
northgate peebles peebleshire
james donaldson 66 gardener b. peebles
catherine donaldson 34 wife b. edinburgh

which could be(IGI)
james donaldson and catherine wilson marriage 8th dec. 1864 peebles peebles

1881
house peebles peebleshire
james donaldson 76 gardener b. peebles
catherine donaldson 43 wife b. edinburgh

SP has -
james donaldson died 1884 peebles peebles born c1806

hopefully this is the correct family

don't know if the last post helps or hinders ?
but it's the only information i found where what we know lines up
a few certificates might prove it

what we can do
