Title: Murdoch McDonald
Post by: KiwiJes on Friday 14 February 25 01:58 GMT (UK)
Birth: 1756
Regiment: 6th Royal Vn Battalion
Death: 8 Nov 1830 in Aberdeenshire (OPR168A/34)

Any help appreciated as I keep coming to a dead end on this one! His son was (hopefully) Donald McDonald.
Ultimately looking for names of parents, and ideally a burial location.
Thanks so much!

Welcome from me also.

You haven't given an approx birth date for your Donald McDonald - but there was one baptised on 8 March 1791 - father Murdoch McDonald and mother Isabel Ross.

Murdoch and Isabel married on 23 June 1787 in Aberdeen.

I wonder if this is your man? I cannot see a baptism for Murdoch, but maybe someone else can.

Thank you - yes, that's his son. I have that information mostly confirmed. It's more Murdoch and his parents I am looking for.

Yes I have thanks, not much to show other than his father was likely a Donald also.
And though Tain, Ross is on his mil records, it's not the same as other records.

On the other records you have what does it say for place of birth for Murdoch ?

Old Machar, Aberdeen. Trying to confirm his parents is not an easy task!
