MCDONALD of Rouchel, NSW

Perhaps that was a typo ....

I photographed the probate for John McDONALD who died 1876

NSW BDM 1876 death
John McDONALD, father Finlay, mother Catherine, at Scone reg 9930

Sorry Ros, didn't see a red alert!

I wonder who John was who died 1908 then?

This lot have me confused to capacity

Annie, I don't believe the 1908 John - as in #78 - is of the same family.

15143/1908 John McDonald parents ARCHIBALD and MARGARET QUEANBEYAN

Sorry for not specifying, I had seen the obit for John (1908) and had gotten myself confused with my John. Probably the 1908 John is of no relation whatsoever to my McDonald side, I posted the obit earlier in a bid to help everyone else avoid confusion. Sorry for creating even more!

Have also linked to another daughter of John and Jane- Louisa McPhee, who married Hugh McPhee. Here is her obit: http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/158998739?searchTerm=hugh%20mcphee&searchLimits=dateFrom=1844-01-01|||l-advstate=New+South+Wales

Mentions the many siblings we have already covered, including Georgina McPhee.

Also have linked the obit of her husband, which doesn't provide much information : http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/161569261?searchTerm=hugh%20mcphee&searchLimits=dateFrom=1844-01-01|||l-advstate=New+South+Wales

Hi there,

I am repeating information from Jamjar (at reply #1) and myself several times since, but may I please suggest that you give serious consideration to actually obtaining official transcriptions of NSW BDM records.   In particular, the death certificate for the 1866 death of a Finley MCDONALD, aged 70 years, died Scone, registered Scone. #6568/1866 .  It will cost you about $20.00 Au and can be sent direct to you as a pdf attachment to an email.

Death: 6568/1866 Finley (sic) McDonald AGE 70 YEARS DIED SCONE SCONE
...

NSW BDM death registrations are quite detailed, and include burial information.   Several times in this thread you mention you seek confirmation about the roadside graves for Finlay and Catherine.   The NSW BDM death certificate information for "Finley" should give you confirmation of where he was buried, and it is likely that Catherine is buried alongside as per other sourced information I have posted on this thread.   
....

and

Unfortunately Finlay McDONALD (died 1866) probate does not have a death certificate or any useful info about his children in his will - he left everything to Catherine his wife.
....

May I please learn if anyone has ordered the official transcription of the NSW BDM certificate first mentioned back at the first reply to this now very long thread?

No problem EB...

Us researchers have a habit of pouncing on anything which may be relevant at a later date especially where a lot of info. has been gathered from commercial sites which may be wrong/transcription errors etc.

I, like most, love an enigma in Genealogy but this one has a few conundrums although intriguing which is why we're all still here after more than 100 replies

Yes, I have ordered the full transcription for Finley's death certificate. Not sure how long it will be but I'm pretty sure the agency I went with do not work on weekends.

[Rosinish]

Let's hope it gives you some interesting info.

I'm unsure how it works but will it be by email or snail mail?

Thank you Annie! I sure hope so. It'll be by email, so will be crossing my fingers that it does help me on my search!

Nail biting time for you then 

I think we are all waiting in great anticipation
