Possible Explanation

Post by Andy » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:37 am

In 1851

James McDonald 37
Isabella McDonald 36
Ronald McDonald 7
Ann McDonald 5
James McDonald 2 Mo

Another daughter born between Ann and James had died.

A third daughter is born after James but before John (the third son) in 1855.

By 1861 the third daughter had died and Ann was in service somewhere else. She's not with family in 1861 or 1871 but marries in Glasgow in 1883 with sister Janet as a witness.

Problem being, apart from the death at 13 hours of the unnamed girl in 1857 there are no other M*cDonald deaths listed in the Muthill area to the correct parents between 1855 and 1861.
Searching for Keogh, Kelly, Fitzgerald, Riddell, Stewart, Wilson, McQuilkin, Lynch, Boyle, Cairney, Ross, King, McIlravey, McCurdy, Drennan and Woods (to name but a few).

Also looking for any information on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland.

Hi All

I have a partial sucess to the above question, I have found on the 1881 census a daughter Helen aged 30 unmarried living with her parents. Now all I have to do is to find her birth and or death.
