Find Living Relatives

You know quite a lot about the family after all.

What was George's mother's name?
When was George born?

I don't see Patrick in Crowle, or anywhere in Lincs , in 1901 or 1911, as either McCormick or Donaldson.


Can't see James William on censuses, either
Please can you copy/paste the census records for us to see?

Where was James born?
I don't see his birth in Lincolnshire 1888-90, under either surname.

Hi,
Yes,
George's father we believe was born Patrick J McCormick about 1856? but they changed there name between the 1901-1911 census, while at Crowle/Epworth, Lincs.( family groups in both places with same birthdates) changed , for work or religious reasons.
George married twice but this first marraige produced Margaret,Mary Lambert Donaldson.George is buried RC Windsor.
The most info we have is from George's war records (both wars),his brother, James William Donaldson 1889-1943 (my Grandfather) died in hospital in Nottingham with the alias on his records as a McCormick.
He is buried there in a paupers grave because a family feud wanted to bury him as a McCormick but his wife (Mable Matthews) had only ever known him as a Donaldson! and objected.

When you say "the family changed their name in the 1900's", do you mean that George's parents or grandparents changed their name before George's marriage in 1921? Somewhere between 1900 and 1921 ??

His marriage for our reference:

DONALDSON
GEORGE
LAMBERT
ELIZABETH
1921
685/4 892
St Giles

Without knowing George's age, and his parents' names, it's hard to find the family in censuses - the most recent available being 1911.

If you spend a few credits (6) on ScotlandsPeople, to see the marriage cert, you'd find out his parents' names, and his age.

Thank you,
Her D.O.B was10/09/1923
Name was Margaret Mary Lambert Donaldson
I would like to find any living family and also her ancesters.It is possible that the family changed their name in the 1900s from McCormick to Donaldson.They would be living around the Epworth/Crowle,Lincolnshire,South Yorks border, at that time.

Do you know if she survived into adulthood and married?

There's a possible marriage of a Margaret M L Donaldson in Marylebone reg district in 1951, to a William D Deane.

Of course, I don't know what that lady's middle names are.

To find connections on here look for the names in search all member trees

Do you know anything about her apart from her birth date?

I am trying to trace any one who has a connection to this family.
Margaret was born in Leith, Edinburgh, daughter of George Donaldson 1894-1966 and Elizabeth Lambert Donaldson.
Thanks
Jill
