The donald martin i have is from Rylstone. My family were from dubbo, mudgee, rylstone areas in NSW. Peter Nicholson Martin (my great great garandfather) had a Father Named Donald and a mother named Mary, that is if my research has served me right.....I am quite certain it would have to be his father as i can see no other possibilities. On peter nicholson Martin marriage certificate it says he was married at the residence of "D.Martin, Pinnacle swamp, district of rylstone". i assumed that the residence of D.martin could be the residence of Donald martin. i was given some information by my family on who Donald and mary's children were. The story was also told they were from scotland. there is only one donald martin burried in Rylstone cemetery who died in 1888.
would love to hear back from you, i do have some old family photographs.

Hi, I too am searching Donald Martin and Mary, they would be my great great great grandfather/mother. Im wondering how you both went on finding the information you were looking for ?? NOW if i actually have the right Donald Martin...I actually spoke to the great grandson of Donald who is quite elderly now... he told me that his great grandfather who was the first of the MARTIN decendants in australia came by boat (they were scottish). and that the he came out to australia with his sister because she didnt want to be left behind... there was also a mention that he had a business something to do with selling flour in a mill and was undercutting the bigger companies and they didnt like it and wanted to get ri of him and thats why he came to australia...NOW im just wondering if I have the right Donald martin and Mary that you are both talking of?
