Hi Alex, Nice to hear from you. I don't have much about the early DONALDSONs & LOWs but here is what I have: 1 Alexander Low +Jean Lindsay b: About 1762 2 Sarah Low b: Bef. 7 April 1793 Edzell, Angus, Scotland d: 28 February 1869 Montrose, Angus, Scotland +David Duke b: Bef. 24 June 1798 Edzell, Angus, Scotland m: 23 November 1822 Edzell, Angus, Scotland d: 6 August 1833 Montrose, Angus, Scotland 2 Martha Low b: 1 May 1795 Edzell, Angus, Scotland 2 John Low b: 16 June 1798 Edzell, Angus, Scotland +Agnes Jolly m: 26 June 1819 Edzell, Angus, Scotland 1 John Donaldson +Jean Innerdale 2 Agnes Donaldson b: Bef. 6 December 1794 Lochlee, Angus, Scotland d: 1887 Laurencekirk, Kincardine, Scotland +John Duke b: Bef. 22 January 1793 Edzell, Angus, Scotland m: 25 August 1821 Edzell, Angus, Scotland d: 1887 Laurencekirk, Kincardine, Scotland Not much help i am sorry to say. You may find some clues in the 1841 Census. I can give you a lot of info on the Duke family. It would be interesting to find a connection. Regards, Bill Marsden.
