Hello again,

On a death cert. that arrived yesterday, it states that David Alexander Donaldson died at Donaldson's Cottage. David's father ,David also, married Ann Campbell.

The witness to the death was Catherine McCreanney --niece by marriage.

The research I have done so far has not turned up any connection to a John Donaldson who was a captain and ship's owner of Liverpool ( information from Donna Douglass re Onchan cemetery inscription) John died 3 August 1861 and Mary, his wife, died 18 Sept 1883.
I suspect that John may well be the father of David ( born in Ireland on all census )who married Ann Campbell

Any help/history of the family or pointers would be appreciated

Thankyou
Erla
