The family from Australia posted looking for a Donald married to Phillis Corbett ,West Ham Marine engineer.....but i think i will need to put all that to the side ,they said their search was family hearsay and a lot of research through the years , i prefer to do research using birth,death and marriage certificates to confirm everything. as im finding so many mistakes in the census .Their Donald was last seen on the 1881 on the Tongue Sutherland census as a student at Edinburgh University and then completely disappeared they thought perhaps he was the one that turned up in West Ham and that to be a marine engineer he would have been a student at Edinburgh. But his parents are ,so they told me was William and Ann Mcleod in one document then in another document it states William Mckenzie Macleod and Ann Gordon Mackay and not John McLeod as my Donalds marriage certificate states. .So i think because there are differences im going to have to start from scratch and forget about all that info and if we finally find they are related that would be nice .
So sorry for the long post ,here is my Donald and his family
