Macdonald from Scotland to Canada

[karenkozak]

Hello. I'm looking for Kenneth Macdonald born abt 1825 Scotland and died before 1900 Toronto Ontario, he married  Sarah Ann McDonald?? I think that is the last name d/o of Benjamin and Mary Mcdonald. I have a newspaper article from my great great grandmother Amelia Macdonald and it states that Mr and Mrs Kenneth Macdonald came out to Brampton from Scotland but soon moved back to Toronto where I gather they bought a store, cause she remembers getting candy from her father's store. Now I have no other information on Kenneth or his wife, dates of birth or death/place of burial?  or exactly were they came from in Scotland. Macdonald is such a popular name as Smith is?? there are thousand of names.. there children were as follows Amelia Macdonald/Eddy(grgr grandmother) Margaret Macdonald/Cleveland, Louisa Macdonald/Church, Mary Macdonald/Andrews, Victoria Macdonald/Patte, Albert Edward Macdonald, married a KcKercher/McKiercher, Sarah Ann Macdonald/Bull, Carrie Macdonald/Haight,
Any Help in finding my Macdonald's would be wonderful.Thanks Karen
