Something adrift here. Mary's parents married ?1871, she was born 1873, no way her brother was buying houses in 1875. Is the date wrong - or someone slipped a generation?Originally Posted by lizziebeth

Ah, Mary, what would i do without you!! You are quite right, and the dates do not connect. Have had another look at the letter, and considering how old it is, it is in quite a readable condition, and i am pretty certain that the date is 1875. I suppose it is quite possible that it could actually be addressed to Mrs Bogue, as in John Bogues mother, it is conceivable that he had a sister Mary too, and i was just putting two and two together....

Hello new cousin!
Boy do I ever hope you still come to this forum.
My Great Grandma was Eleanor Donaldson and she married Walter Stuart Keith White.
They had 2 children, Mary Sybil White, and Doris Keith White.
I have a bit more history, but I would really love to know you are still here as well...
Effie is burried in the USA
Eleanor, Gertrude, Molly and Louise are burried in Ontario Canada.
If the info I have is correct, Your Grandfather married Betsy Jane Askew and they had 4 Sons
Robert matthew married joyce anstis
John married joyce Dipson
William Bruce married Mavis Swift
Donald Alexander married Patricia King
Please write so I know you are still here. I'd really love to talk to you about our family.

How are you progressing with your search? You were correct, by 1891 the Donaldsons had moved to Old Kilpatrick - but I can't find Mary Boag/Bogue/Bayne or her parents!!
The A******y index shows.
1891
6 Kilbowie Road, Old Kilpatrick, Clydebank, Dunbartonshire.
John DONALDSON head, blacksmith 45 St Andrews, Fifeshire
Euphemia DONALDSON wife 50 St Andrews
Mary DONALDSON daur. machinist 19 Granton, Edinburghshire
Robert DONALDSON son apprentice brassfinisher 17 Granton
Alexander DONALDSON son apprentice iron turner 17 Granton

Hello Mary,
Many thanks for the information, it fills in a few gaps, progress on the Boag/Bogue/Bayne is not going far, Mary's parents must have moved to Scotland from Ireland between 1871 when they married in Belfast, and 1873 when Mary was born, but thats about all I have.

I have a few others as well and my Mom is going to look for more. Will scan the few pics I do have and put them in within the next couple of days.

I am wondering if you are still here. This is going back several years and I have no idea if you had even read the info I posted about our family.

Thank you Mary for responding to Teressa's post.
Teressa, Lizziebeth was on the forums in the middle of last year. If she is still using the email address as when she posted then she should receive notification of your posts.
You can also try contacting her by private message (pm). To do this click on her user avatar and from the drop down menu click on Private message. This also depends on her still having the same email address as when she joined up.
