It's on FindMyPast.

William Macdonald
Born 7.6.1828
Bapt.15.6.1828

I notice there is no birth date for Willina. Perhaps it's transcribed incorrectly and they are the same person or possibly twins?

Middlesbrough - the 2nd image I attached shows 'Willina daughter' and on the 2nd line 'born 7th and baptished 15th June'.  The year was 1828.

It is transcribed as William MACDONALD

As I said, it may be transcribed in error.

Hi again - yes i believe it is mis-transcribed. Quite badly so as it clearly says ‘daughter’ and there is no ‘m’. Looks like Willina to me. One reason i never rely on transcriptions. Best to use our owneyes ona copy of the real document.
