I assume Archibald is the poster's father.


Samuel was of Bridlington, Yorks according to the probate site. Widow was Margaret Farmer Mckinlay. This comes under Buckrose district so maybe that birth is related.

Not seeing a birth for her under Donald, unless she was born in Scotland.

Here's Margaret's death:

Name: Margaret Farmer Donald
Event Type: Death Registration
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration Year: 1998
Registration District: Bridlington
County: Yorkshire
Event Place: Bridlington, Yorkshire, England
Age (available after 1866):
Birth Date (available after June quarter 1969): 14 Oct 1915
Birth Year (Estimated):
Volume: 5441
Page: 41A

So that birth in 1970 can't be her daughter.

Margaret would have been almost 44 when she married. Have to think any children were born before this.

If that's Margaret's death in 1998, I wonder why she reverted to her maiden surname?

And by the way - she wasn't born in Scotland - unless her middle name wasn't registered.
