DONALD - Glasgow
Hello. I am looking for any information concerning ALEXANDER BEATTIE DONALD, born c1826 Aberdeen. Son of JAMES DONALD and ELIZABETH BEATTIE who were married at Dunnottar on 5/11/1808. Alexander married MARJORY SMITH at Stonehaven on 19/10/1846 and at the time of the marriage Alexander was a letter carrier in Aberdeen. The 1851 census shows Alexander to be a school master aged 25 living in School House, Lochlee, Angus with his wife and family. In the 1861 census Marjory Donald (Alexander's wife) and family are living at Govan, Glasgow and Marjory is shown as "Head of House" as Alexander is not there. I have Alexander's date of death as 18/11/1864 at Glasgow where he was a customs officer. I can find no trace of Alexander in Scottish or English census for 1861. Can anyone please help me find him? Thank you
