Irene Did George have any sisters? I am searching for a Margaret Forbes - possibly the wife of William. For a long time, I believed the parents of my gg-grandmother Ann McDonald b. 1812, were James McDonald and Margaret Forbes as these are the names on Ann's death certificate, but there is no trace of them, and there is a William Mcdonald and Margaret Forbes who married in 1811at Logie Coldstone. Could this Margaret be a sister or niece of your George? The occupation of her father is given as "farmer" on the death certificate - but the person who registered her death was a lodger - I have no idea why, as she had children of her own. Do you have any details of the family and sibloings of George please? Doreen.

Doreen, Is the Margaret Forbes you're looking for come from Ohio?. I have a Margaret in my lineage.
