Greetings from New Zealand - I am a new subscriber to your list. Looking for information on, and descendants of, THOMAS DONALDSON (born 24 January 1869 in Methilhill, Wemyss, Fife, Scotland - parents David Donaldson and Margaret Johnston) and CHRISTINA CLIFTON (born 28 November 1871 from 5 Spence Place, Edinburgh, Scotland - parents Thomas Clifton and Euphemia Thoms (Thompson). THOMAS and CHRISTINA were married on 19 July 1893 in Newington, Edinburgh, Scotland. I am trying to establish if they had any children and what became of them. And also what became of Christina. And where they lived as a family. Thomas and Christina must have separated as Thomas Donaldson remarried Florence Plowman in Croydon, Surrey, England in 1908 and emigrated to New Zealand (where they had four children). These were my grandparents (long since deceased). Thomas never returned to the UK but my grandmother Florence did many times to visit her family in Croydon. Also, does anyone know what the situation was with DIVORCE LAWS in Scotland around the early 1900's, and whether any records exist which can be accessed. There was family speculation that Thomas may have left his first family, remarried and "hop-footed" it to New Zealand without first obtaining a Divorce from Christina. Would love to get to the bottom of this family mystery. Any assistance or suggestions would be gratefully received. Regards Anne Baxter
