  Christened	8 Apr 1787	Mains and Strathmartine Parish, Angus, Scotland   [1]

  	1. Donald, William, head, married, age 36, starcher, born Dundee 2. _____, William, son, 13, Starcher, Dundee 3. _____, Jannet, daughter, 10, scholar, Dundee 4. _____, James, son, 7, scholar, Dundee 5. _____, David, son, 3, Dundee 6. _____, Mary, mother, widowed, 60, lodger, Dundee
  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.
