Hi All...Ive run aground....Macdonald of Surry
Flora Sophie Dorothy Macdonald b. 1878 Surry UK d. 1915
married 1906 Skipton
Son Eustace James Macdonald b. 1907 Kildare Ireland merchant seaman 39-45 ww2 medal

Son Edmund George Macdonald b. 1910-1959 service no 7259210

Beryl Gwyneth Cranston 1917-1963
Trying to confirm/find Flora S D Macdonald maiden name and her Husbands details ...it maybe John Macdonald...he was a full time military man, so maybe he was posted around the world as hes not in the 1911 census records
Tips and suggestions very welcome

I looked for a marriage and found this
1905 Kensington
John McDonald and Mary Dorette S F McDonald are on the same page.
That rang a bell :)
This is a very long thread concerning that family.

Hello
I've only just noticed this thread.
Most of the information RickyJack is looking for is already to be found somewhere on RootsChat, but to summarise the McDonald family:
Flora McDonald (nee McDonald) married John McDonald in Kensington in 1905. They had 6 children the first of whom died in infancy.
The remaining 5 were Eustace James - Eust, Edmund George -Baldo, Enid Flora Sophie - Sis, Ronald Edward - Ron and Bernard Henry - Tim (my father). I met all of them except Flora (and the dead child of course)
Here's an Obit of John McDonald - hope this helps.

That’s a lovely tribute :)
