Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone was researching the following family...
Margaret Miller (1831-1906) and Donald McDonald (c.1831-1892). They were married on 26 November 1858 in Wick, and they had at least five children...
Kenneth; Alexander; Robert; Archibald Caskie; and Donald.
The above children are in no order of year born, as I don't have much on them at present. This family isn't a direct ancestor, but Margaret Miller is a sister of my G.G.G. Grandmother. I'm just trying to track what happened to various members of the family, whether they remained in Caithness, or may have moved away south.
Kenneth McDonald married Peterina Marshall in 1880, Wick, and had at least two daughters;
It is believed that Robert McDonald married, but it isn't known to whom (he is mentioned as married in a Poor Relief Application by his mother);
Archibald Caskie McDonald married twice - 1. Jessie Taylor, in 1891, Wick, and they had at least two daughters; 2. Johan Dunnett, no children from this marriage;
Donald McDonald married Elizabeth Sinclair in 1887, Wick. I believe that they had at least six children. The local newspapers of the World War 1 era mention a Mr and Mrs Donald McDonald, of Staxigoe, who have five sons serving in uniform, and one son-in-law named Harry Rosie.
If anyone has any information, or think there is any link, I would love to hear from you.
Regards,
Steven
