[nsroots] William McDonald b. 1845 Bailey's Brook cross-posted

[Cara MacDonald]

*apologies for the cross-post*

Hello listers,

I'm wondering if any of you know anything about this William McDonald. This
is what I know thus far.

Father is Angus McDonald b. ca. 1808 mother unknown

Sisters:
Sarah b. 1843
Mary b. 1849

William married a woman named Ann b. 1850 (maiden name unknown) between 1871
and 1881
Had children:
Angus McDonald b. 1885
Catherine McDonald b. 1886
Hugh McDonald b. 1890
C Donald McDonald b. 1892

I see them on the 1871 Census in district 200 on the Gulf Shore:

Angus - widowed 63 yrs old
Sarah -  27
William - 25
Mary - 22

Then in 1881 in district 20 on the Gulf Shore (Angus is not in the household
so I am assuming he is deceased):

William 36 married
Annie 31 married
Sarah 40
Mary 31

In 1891in Abercrombie Pictou (I'm not 100% if this is them or not, no sign
of his sister Mary):
William 49
Anne 42
Angus 6
Catherine 5
Hugh 1
Sarah 51

Then in 1901, back to the Gulf Shore and living in Bailey's Brook:
William 60
Anne 52
Angus 16
Catherine 14
Hugh 11
C Donald 9

(not sure what happened to Sarah McDonald, but there is a Sarah living with
cousins Alexander and John McEachern in Barney's River at this time, that
could be her)

And again in 1911 in Bailey's Brook:

William A McDonald 69
Annie McDonald 60
Catherine McDonald  25
Hugh McDonald 21
Donald  McDonald 19

Sorry this is so long, would love to know if anyone knows this family and
could confirm that I am on the right path.

Thanks all!

- Cara
