DONALDSON, Margaret 1 2

  • Born: 16 December 1790, Pettinain parish, Lanarkshire, Scotland 1
  • Baptised: 23 December, Edinburgh parish, Edinburgh, Scotland 2

  General Notes:

A record in the parish register of Pettinain, possibly a catch-up list of children baptised elsewhere, names in a list three Donaldson children with their birth dates: Alexander, Nathaniel and Margaret.
Ancestry also has a record of Margaret's birth, not on 16 December 1790 as the parish register states, but one week later, on 23 December in Edinburgh parish. This may have been a baptism, but the matter is unclear:

"Name:Margaret Donaldson
Gender:Female
Birth Date:23 Dec 1790
Birth Place:Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
Baptism Place:Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
Father:John Donaldson
Mother:Margaret Bertram
FHL Film Number:1066687
Reference ID:2:18K58CN"
