Hello Kathy, Margaret Donaldson who was baptised in Edinvillie, Aberlour on the 5th November 1724 was the daughter of Robert Donaldson and Margaret Meroues Robert was born c. 1684 and died on December 2, 1751. Margaret Meroues was born c. 1696 and died on January 12, 1731 both are buried in Aberlour churchyard as is their son Robert who was born in Edinvillie on 19th April 1729 and died in Edinvillie on the 7th May 1729. The above Robert Donaldson born c. 1684 was also married to Margaret Proctor and had a further 5 children with her.They were married in Aberlour on 18th June 1734 and 4 of their five children were also born in Edinvillie. I do have some information on Alexander Donaldson the brother of Margaret but not very much, if you would like this information as well please just ask. Can you let me know where your line fits in with this family so that i can add you to my on going database this will help me put you in touch with others researching the same family. Regards ray
RAY, I am guessing you must have access to all kinds of records since you have both birth and death dates on the Donaldsons. I did not see any death dates in the films I viewed a few years ago. Do you by chance have any information such as parents names, or birth or death date of the John Murray that married Margaret Donaldson? John was born about 1725, lived in Blackfold, Mortlach, Banff, and married Margaret Donaldson Feb. 5, 1744 in Mortlach. You asked about my lineage to the Donaldsons in the message below. This is how it lines up from Robert Donaldson to me. I appreciate your help. Thanks, Kathy Wells.
