Banffshire / Re: Donald families throughout Banffshire
« on: Wednesday 12 November 14 16:28 GMT (UK) »
Hello Iain--
I am researching my family history which includes a number of Donalds from Banffshire. I believe I have traced my great-grandmother, Elizabeth (Lebbie) Donald born illegitimate in 1891 to Elizabeth Donald in Aberdeen and who died shortly thereafter. She would have been unofficially adopted by her aunt, Jean (Jane) Donald, born about 1848, who married George Farquhar in 1867. I believe the elder Elizabeth and her sister Jean were the children of Alexander Donald, b about 1826 in Cullen, Banff, and Elizabeth Grant. Any information you might have on Alexander's family going back before 1826 most appreciated.
Best,
