Davidson, McDonald - Dallas
« on: Sunday 02 August 09 21:40 BST (UK) »
Please help, any information on George Davidson who had an illegitimate daughter with Margaret McDonald b:1848 d:1891.  Their daughter was Ann McDonald b:1865 d:1943.  On the 1871 & 1881 Dallas census she was listed as Ann Davidson.

Have you tried the Kirk Session minutes? The Kirk Sessions used to spend a lot of time and energy chasing the errant fathers of illegitimate children. If the Dallas KS minutes have survived they will be in the National Archives of Scotland www.nas.gov.uk
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
