Hi Penny,

Welcome to rootschat.

Can you please clarify maiden names for Ann...was it Cameron & Jane...was it Meek?

It is easier to work with females with given maiden names & not unheard of for people with same surnames marrying.

Have you found any of the families on census records, if so, when & where to save duplication of efforts?

Annie

Hi
They are sisters and their maiden names are
Ann Cameron MacDonald  and Jane meek MacDonald

Address: 13 Willisons Lane Port Glasgow Renfrewshire

Rosie
Added think the same family 1891 census that candrjm has just posted

[candrjm]

Possibly Alexander with family in 1881: (Surname spelt McDonald)

Address: Scarlow Street Port Glasgow
 
Donald aged 47 occ: Painter born Inverness
Ann aged 52
Alexr aged 20 occ: Joiner
Isabella aged 11


and in 1871 census: (Again surname spelt McDonald)

Address: 27 Scarlow Street

Donald aged 36 born Fort William Inverness Occ: Painter
Ann aged 40
John C aged 19
Jane aged 13
Alexander aaged 10
Marion aged 8
Ann aged 6
Isabella aged 2


EDIT; 1891 census (Parents of Alexander McDonald)

Address: 3 Willisons Lane Port Glasgow (Alexander and family living at no: 13 see 1891 census details already posted above)

Donald McDonald aged 58 born Fort William Inverness occ: Painter
Ann McDonald aged 60 born Dumfires Crawfordjohn
Isabella McDonald aged 22 occ: Dressmaker

[candrjm]

Donald and Ann McDonald are  in Scarlow Street in the1861 census and some Cameron children also recorded living with them.

Ann McDonald aged 34
Donald McDonald aged 28
Jean aged 3
Alexander aged 4 months

Susan Cameron aged 15
Hugh Cameron aged 12
John Cameron aged 8<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

<<<<<<< think that this is John C McDonald  reocrded in the 1871 census


EDIT; Looking at Jean aged 3 and the Carmeron children I would think that this is the marriage for Donald and Ann:

4th Sept 1856
Port Glasgow Renfrew Scotland
Donald McDonald
Ann Cameron

Hi Penny,
Welcome to rootschat 

Sorry if I am slow ...

We are looking for the children of 2 of the sisters who emigrated to Western Australia in 1927.
    Jane Meek MACDONALD b 1890 who married John WALKER
    Anne Cameron MACDONALD b 1893 who married Donald MACDONALD 
Is this correct?

If so did the sisters marry in Scotland or in Western Australia? (I can't see a marriage in W.A. at a quick glance)

Or am I way off track?   Wrong generation??

regards,
   Ros

[rosball]

Sorry Penny I was completely off-track wasn't I? 

I think the Ann Cameron MACDONALD who emigrated to W.A. married Reginald DAVIDSON in 1928 in W.A. and was buried in 1963 http://www2.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/details.php?id=KB00122850

From W.A. BDM http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_
Death 1963
Ann Cameron DAVIDSON , father Alexander, mother Margaret, age 69 at Perth reg #3244

I hope I didn't put everyone else off-track ...

regards,
