Hi Dave

1861 has James b. Aberdeen, the address matches 1871...

A couple of un-sourced trees have him b. Inverness ?

Another tree [slightly better structured] has James Sr's birth as Abriachan [about 10 miles from Inverness], I wonder if this has been wrongly transcribed as Aberdeen in 1861?

It looks as though Euphemia died in 1898 Blythswood.

James' age at death is looking a bit dodgy, only 1861 census agrees with it

Thanks Geoff.

I believe Abriachan is correct.

Death: 11 May 1892; 14 Tape Lane, Inverness, Inverness, Scotland; James McDonald, carter, married to Euphemia McPhee; age 60 ?; parents James McDonald, crofter, Abriachan, deceased and no mother listed; diarrhea which he had for 10 days; informant James McDonald, his mark, son; certificate #230

Age is all over the place so I don't know what to believe. I can't find a baptism. With a common name and uncertain age it's impossible to pinpoint him in 1841. He is probably not at home anyway.
