Linda Have you considered the fact that Alexander RHIND may never have married Isabella FRASER? Ramsay McDONALD's mother never married his father either. I have seen an instances of an unmarried father being named on a death certificates and the child being referred to on a marriage certificate as, in this case, "Isabella RHIND or FRASER".

Alexander Rhind, born 1837, married Margaret Thomson in 1861 and was a baker in Drainie at that time. I'm sure he was a bachelor on marriage certificate. However, Isabella Rhind, born around 1860 in Lossie, had parents Alexander Rhind, baker, and Isabella Fraser. I cannot find Isabella's birth record nor marriage of Alexr. and Isabella. but on Isabella's marriage and death certificate her parents are clearly Alexr. and Isabella. It would seem odd that there were 2 Alexanders who were bakers in same place at same time but Isabella's birth doesn't tie in with Alexr. who married Margaret. Isabella, in 1871 census, lived in same house as young Ramsay McDonald, the future p.m., as a 10 year old boarder. Alexr., the baker, was in Aberdeen by this time. Thanks to anyone who can help.
