Father Charles Grant MacDonald

Possible probable definite, but let it stand - red herring time .... Could the nephew have been Claude Hooper Bater, born 12 May 1862 in Barnstaple, Devon, parents Alfred Bater and Mary Ann Hooper? He graduated MA (not MB) from the university of Glasgow in 1891 and is in the 1891 census in Partick. Though I can't see any obvious - or even possible - connection. He died in Kent in 1934 and probate was granted to Emily Rose Bater (b 1900), wife of Ernest Perkins Powell. Emily was the daughter of William Alfred Bater, born in Barnstaple in 1855, Claude's elder brother.

The 1895 Valuation Roll lists 4 occupiers at 6 Carrick Street - Isabella Prophet, Agnes Pirie, Murdoch Matheson and Thomas Wilson, so if Claude Bater was still there in 1895, he must have been a lodger or boarder.

Charles McDonald, Roman Catholic Minister, single, died aged 74 on 7 Oct 1894 at St Clair Villa, West King Street, Helensburgh. 

Just noticed - that is a discrepancy of 15 years in his age. If he was born on 30 June 1835 he was only 59 on 7 October 1894.

Hi Peanutbutter 

I think your post has got lost on this other ongoing post.

Why don't you start a brand new post on your Jessie Garden? This would work better I think for you and let people see it better.
