Adding updates to my post to modify things .
I believe Jeanie Mcdonald did'nt marry a Reid and it was just a bit of a mix up
as i later discovered her grandmother was a Reid.
John Mcdonald born 1893 married Jean White ,In 1918 Perth.
Jean White born 1897.
John Mcdonald's parents,
Charles Mcdonald Born 1867 Argyll.
Elizabeth Reid, Born 1870.
Married 1899 Cumlodden Argyll.
Jean White's parents
James White (tinsmith)
Martha Mckenzie.
Looking for information on White/Whyte, Mcdonald/Macdonald, Burke, Young, Toner/towner/tonar/tonner,Paul.

Hi Duncan, at the moment I have'nt come across a Denis Mcdonald in my Family tree. However thats not to say there isnt a connection. Dennis could be related to my Mcdonalds in some way or another, Its not impossible for him to be a Brother, Cousin etc.. I've been using Scotlands people website to find BDMs etc. Was it your ggg who went to canada or your gg?. I think Ancestry.co.uk has BDM's and census's but you'll have to pay. Familysearch.org can be usefull, that contains information added by other researchers. You can search for family member's individually and if you use the advance search you can put what country(canada), their mother/fathers names,year of birth etc so you can narrow your search down, plus its free. A little Tip I come accross about name spelling. Don't disgard different spellings of a surname, ie , If you find a Denis Macdonald don't automatically assume that its not your dennis. Back then people often got the spelling of surnames wrong, especially with Mcdonald/Macdonald, White/Whyte and so on. Here is my email address if you could send me more info about your Mcdonald family i can look closer to see if theres a match. I could then send you info on my Mcdonalds. I would be interested in the Robert Dawson material! Does it give you info about specific famillies and members?
I have been on Rootschat.com and the members have been really helpfull. Ancestry.co.uk has a members section, I have left posts about the family members that iam looking for. Ancestry aid.co.uk is also another good website.
I Hope this information helps.
Hope to hear back form you
