With Mr Noel Purdon (a Salmon descendant and writter about Welsh family), we checked that Matilda Ann and Alexander Macdonald Elder lived at Knock, after he came back from India, I suppose, with some health problem (Army records are very complete!) <br /><br />Margaret Elder was the oldest sister of Colin and Mary Mckinnon.<br /><br />What a mistery!. MMcB probably was Margaret MacBean. Who was MMcD?MIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581189387186375127noreply@blogger.com
