Not sure why this is in the Cambridgeshire section, shouldn't it be Cumberland?
What do you know already about Daniel? Do you have the censuses? He is not hard to find if you have access.

A very quick search found him living at Crakeplace Hall in Dean, Cumberland in 1851 with his parents James (a farmer) and Margaret and all his siblings. But I'm not going to fill in the details here until you say you haven't already got them.

Best wishes,
Pat

I have found Daniel in the 1841 and 1851 censuses, but can't find him after that and can't find elizabeth donaldson.

Yes you probably should start a new query in the Cumberland forum, as there will be more people out there who can help you because they have specific knowledge of that area.

Good luck in your searches.

Cheers,
Pat
