    Notes:

    Died:
    The last known child of James Donald and Mary Corsar was born in 1819. In 1851, Mary Corsar was enumerated as a widow in the Dundee household of her son William Low Donald.

    A search of the Deaths in Old Parish Registers on ScotlandsPeople with first name "James" (and variants), surname "Don" (begins with, allowing for "Donnet," "Donelt," etc.), and Dundee parish, locates only one likely candidate:
    James "Donnat," died 31 August 1832, Dundee parish, age 69, occupation "weaver Blacks croft," born in Dundee, number of stone and cutter "1269B," cause of death "old Age," hospital dues "[0], 2, [0]" [two shillings?] Birth year calculates to 1763. This is somewhat earlier than one might expect, as his wife was born about 1787. It remains a possibility, particularly in light of other documents for him, and his son William, that state the name as "Donnet" or "Donelt" instead of "Donald."

    Another candidate is James "Donet," who died 5 July 1825, Dundee. [O.P.R. Deaths 282/00 0250 0246 Dundee]. Entry 591, James Donet, age 59? 39? weaver, born "Panbride." See Donald images.

    James married Mary Corsar on 22 Oct 1810 in Dundee Parish, Dundee, Angus, Scotland. Mary (daughter of David Corsar and Margaret Durham) was christened on 8 Apr 1787 in Mains and Strathmartine Parish, Angus, Scotland; died on 18 Nov 1858 in 31 Union Street, Maxwelltown, Dundee, Scotland; was buried in Mains Old Church. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 7.  Mary Corsar was christened on 8 Apr 1787 in Mains and Strathmartine Parish, Angus, Scotland (daughter of David Corsar and Margaret Durham); died on 18 Nov 1858 in 31 Union Street, Maxwelltown, Dundee, Scotland; was buried in Mains Old Church.

    Other Events:

    • Note:
      Mary (Corsar) Donald's parents are listed on her death certificate as James Corsar and Jean Durham. The informant was her son William. No marriage can be found in the Old Parish Records for a James Corsar and Jean Durham. There is, however, a birth of Mary Corsar to David Corsar and Isobel Durham, and there is a marriage of David Corsar to Margaret Durham. While this is confusing, it seems likely that David Corsar married Margaret Durham, sometimes known as Isobel Durham; that Mary Corsar was their daughter; and that the informant for the death certificate was in error.

Generation: 4

  1. 14.  David Corsar was born on 14 Oct 1738 in East Mill, Mains and Strathmartine Parish, Angus, Scotland (son of James Corsar and Elizabeth Watson); died before 1810.

    Notes:

    David Corsar appears to have lived in the Mains and Strathmartine area most of the time, but sometimes in Dundee.

    David Corsar, "wright," had the following children with his wife, named as "Margaret Durham" or "Isobel Durham." It would appear that these two are different names for the same woman, because the children's birth years dovetail perfectly. However, it is possible that there were two David Corsars living in the area, and that they were married to two Durham woman. There is a marriage record (OPR) for David Corsar and Margaret Durham, 1766. No record can be located for an Isobel Durham at any date in this period.

    An Isobel "Corser" was buried on 15 April 1797 in Monifieth Parish. A map of Angus County parishes shows that Monifieth bordered Dundee parish to the West.

    An Elizabeth "Corser" died a few days earlier and was buried in the same place.

    David married Margaret Durham on 10 Jul 1766 in Mains and Strathmartine parish, Angus, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 15.  Margaret Durham

    Notes:

    Margaret's marriage to David Corsar in 1766 took place in Mains and Strathmartine parish. However, she was "of Murrose" parish.

    "Murrose" or "Murroes" is located just west of Mains and Strathmartine parish, and just north of Dundee parish.
