My husband descends from James Donaldson who married Elizabeth SIMPSON in the Parish of Ellon in 1799. They had the following children:
John b 1802 New Deer, James b 1803 as above, William 1805 and Robert 1808 New Deer, then John 1815, Thomas 1817 and George, 1819 all in Logie Buchan.
I suspect there are some missing between 1808 and 1815 . Perhaps they moved elsewhere.
A friend did some research for me whilst in Aberdeen some years ago and said there were several possible candidates for our James so I have not been able to find his birth details or parentage
Is anyone out there researching this family?
I have researched all the known descendants of Thomas born 1817 who moved to Orkney,and am happy to share my information with other relatives.
