    Hi Mblades!

    Do you have a date of birth/age on Donald's marriage cert? Also, his and his Father's occupation would be useful.

    Do you know the names of Donald and Elizabeth's children?

    Have you found any of them on the cencus?

    Thank you!

    Hi there

    Donald age 20, a Mason, b Dyke, Elginshire in Dallas 1871 Census with wife Elizabeth in a STUART Household?
    If so, the following looks like it maybe the right family in the 2 prior census - though there is a bit of age wavering...

    1861: Brodie Mill Hamlet, Dyke, Moray
    ED 5, Page 2
    Head: Donald McDONALD 56, Ag Lab, b Dyke
    Wife: Margaret 52, b Nairn, Nairnshire
    Dau: Jane 16, b Dyke
    Dau: Elspet 13, Dyke
    Son: Donald 10, b Dyke

    1851: Muiry Hall, Dyke, Morayshire
    ED 4, pg 21
    Donald McDONALD 50, Labourer, b Dyke
    Wife: Margaret 44, b Nairn
    Dau: Janet 19, Ag Lab, b Dyke
    Dau: Mary 14, Scholar, b Dyke
    Dau: Ann 12, Scholar, b Dyke
    Dau: Frances 10, Scholar, b Dyke
    Son: James 8, Scholar, b Dyke
    Dau: Jane 6, Scholar, b Dyke
    Dau: Elspet, b Dyke
    Son: Donald 2, b Dyke

    Donald Snr and wife Margaret are also found in the 1871 and 1881.

    Cheers
