And you'd've thought this was Andrew Donaldson's widow, but if her age is
right she's too young to be Andrew Donaldson jnr's mother.

Dwelling: Duffushillock
Census Place: Deskford, Banff, Scotland

Alexr. CRAIB M 33 M Rothiemay, Banff, Scotland Rel: Head Occ: Farmer Of 50
Ac 20 Arable
Jessie CRAIB M 34 F Grange, Banff, Scotland Rel: Wife Occ: Farmers Wife
Maggie CRAIB 3 F Deskford, Banff, Scotland Rel: Daur
William CRAIB 1 M Deskford, Banff, Scotland Rel: Son
Sarah DONALDSON W 40 F Enniskillen, Ireland Rel: Servant Occ: Sick Nurse

But possibly, is this your Andrew Donaldson in the IGI?:
1. married Sarah Mc Hgun 9-May-1849 Carrick On Suir, Tipperary, Ireland
He was 25 she was 19. His father was James Donaldson (per batch 7421106)
2. married Sarah Mc Ilgun 9-May-1849 Ireland (per batch M701993)

That means she was born abt 1830, making her a more reasonable age 50 in
1881.

Just a thought! Now all you've got to work out if whether and how they turn
up in Rathven and Fordyce!

> Hi,
> I'm looking for information about Andrew Donaldson. He was married to a
Sarah Gunn, he had a son (not sure if he had other children) called Andrew
who married a Jane Benzie(s) on the 29th November 1879, in Little Cairntown,
Fordyce.
> Andrew (snr) died before the wedding (i think that he died in the Crimean
War). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
