I am in search of: and it may be listed as MacDonald, McDonald, Macdonald; and Elliot My g'grandfather, Thomas Boyd Mcdonald (b:21 Aug 1876 in Ecclefechan) married Mary Smith Campbell (b: 6 Jul 1879 Thorthorwald d: 30 Oct 1909 Ecclefechan) She died during childbirth, he seems to have 'dissappearred'. He is on 1901 census as estate laborer, in 1909 on my g'aunt Violet's birth certificate he is listed as a motor car driver. We have a photo of him (no date) in a group of, what appears to be, HM Factory Gretna workers. He is sitting in a row with other men and there is a row of women in front of, and behind them. The women all have the Dornack workers badge on their uniforms but the men have no isignia on their coats. His daur, my g'aunt Isabella Scott Mcdonald (b:17 Jun 1899) in Knockburn, Ecclefechan. In 1901 she is listed on the census in Hoddam. No trail after that. Emmigration? Marriage? My g'g'aunt Elizabeth Mcdonald, -sister to Thomas Mcdonald- (b:7 Aug. 1873 in Hoddam). Last record is 1901 census Eskdalemuir, Dumfries. She married Thomas Elliot (b:1868 in Westerkirk) in 1892. He was a shephard in 1892 in Hoddam and in 1901 appeared on 1901 census in Eskdalmuir. They had 3 children: May Elliot(B:abt 1894), John Mcdonald Elliot (b:13 May 1896 d:10 Oct 1918 in Sicily IT) and George (b: abt 1901). Elizabeth and Thomas raised my g'aunt Violet after Mary Smith Campbell died giving birth to Violet Elliot Mcdonald and Margaret Murray Mcdonald (d: 20 Nov 1909), as did 3rd (unborn) triplet. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Mary Paladin PA; USA Mary A.
