Duncan Findlay-Inverness/Moray area
« on: Friday 04 December 09 01:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm researching my fathers side of the family and have can find little trace of his grandfather, Duncan Findlay. Duncan was the father of Hugh McDonald (my grandfather) born (illegitimatley) 12th Nov 1899 in the parish of Cawdor to Hughina McDonald, who would have been about 19 at the time.(Can't find her birth cert. but the census of 1881 and 1891 list her as having been born in parish of Daviot.
The first record I can find of Duncan is my grandparents wedding certificate, on the 2nd December 1927 in Rothes. He is listed as deceased, but I cannot find any other info, birth, death or census records.
Hughina was listed as a domestic servant domiciled at the farm of Doundaff in the Parish of Edinkillie at the time.
Realise these parishes are in Moray, but the family have strong links to Invernesshire, I have posted same message in Moray section.
