Hi Eileen
If this is Allan MCDONALD who settled in Hamilton I've been looking for his
background for ages. Wife Sarah GILLIS. Only hiccup is I have Donald born in
1857, unless they lost the first one. Three of their children married into
my HOLMES family. One of the girls had CAMERON as a second Christian name.
Exciting!
