Hi Wondering if your husbands McDonald's (or anyone else's) would relate to my great-grandfather Graham McDonald born in Crossmyloof, Renfrewshire 1813, or his father Charles McDonald born in Greenock, Renfrewshire in 1792? They all ended up in Glasgow and surrounding areas, before immigrating to Canada. Charles and his wife Grace (Kerr) were here in Ontario (Pickering Twsp.) by 1851/2 census and Graham and his wife Sarah McCulloch and their family arrived in 1853. They were all weavers by trade.

Hello Elizabeth, My husband's McDonalds sailed from the Isle of Skye on the "Midlothian" in 1837, the Buchannans sailed on the "Duncan" in 1838. It appears at the time of immigrating they were all living and working on the Isle of Skye, so they may have come from other parts of Scotland before then. These immigrants to Australia were known as Bounty Immigrants. Between 1828 and 1842 many Scots from all over Scotland, took up the offer to immigrate Down Under, with the help of one Rev. John Dunmore Lang. You will find his story on this website:- http://www.mmcs-ngo.org/?p=61 If you scroll down through his story to the "Midlothian" you can read about the Scottish immigrants. Rev. Lang was afraid that with so many Irish convicts and free settlers sailing to the Penal Colony looking for a better life, that Catholicism would take over the new land, so he encourage Scottish Protestants to find a better life in the Colony. However, for awhile things did not go that well for them when they arrived, however that is another story. I have the Bounty Immigrant CD and if anyone would like me to look up to see if a missing Scottish family, may have taken up Rev. John Dunmore Lang's offer for a better life, I can check on the CD for you.
