  • Notes 
    • The Ontario Canada Catholic Church Records, Event Year 1866-1880, Place of Worship Alexandria, record that:
      Donald John McDonald was baptized on Feb 16,1876. He was born on Feb 5,1876 to Dougald McDonald and Mary Cameron.
      The baptism was performed by Rev. Father John S. O'Connor, Parish Priest at St Finnans Cathedral in Alexandria, Ontario.

      Dougald McDonald was the son of John McDonald and Isabella McGillis, of 1/7 Caledonia in Parish of Lochiel.
      Mary Cameron was the daughter of Duncan Cameron and Mary McDonald of 11/3rd Concession Kenyon, Parish of Alexandria.

      Dougald and Mary were married on May 13,1873 at St Finnans by Father John S. O'Connor.

      See the 1881 Census for Mary Cameron - 2 sons listed ages 7 and 5 - listed as Cameron not McDonald. Mary is living at her parents farms - her father Duncan is widowed.

      The Death Notice for Donald John McDonald - born Feb 5 1876 lists parents as Donald John McDonald and Mary Cameron of Gengarry County, Ontario.
      It is possible that Dougald had a middle name of John as that was his father's name.
      He also may have gone by Donald in later years.
      Dougald was alive at the time of the 1871 Census. Still trying to validate where he was subsequent to the birth of his son in 1876.
      The obituary in the Fort William Daily Times on Saturday Nov 9th,1929 records as follows:
      "Donald John McDonald, aged 53 years, died at 10 PM last night in St Joseph's Hospital in Port Arthur, after a two week's illness, thought he had been in poor health for a long time.He was born in Glengarry Township, and made his home in McIntyre. The funeral will be held on Wed Nov 13th at 10 AM from Sargent & Sons Funeral parlour to St Andrew's Roman Catholic Church, thence to St Andrew's R.C. Cemetery".
