Maddie and Mel.
Thanks for your input. I am searching for info after his birth as well.
To me he appears to have disappeared.
His father was posted to Ireland and then India. No sign of his son John.

Charles how did youget to John McDonald 1822 please? Is he a direct line?

Malyon put a death up in 1839 and if this is the case then the marriage to Margaret is three years later.

Mel.
John born 1822 had a brother Alexander Proudfoot Macdonald born 1826 in Kilcock Ireland he is my gt. gt. Grandfather.
John's father born 1800 was serving with 26th. Regiment of Foot in Edinburgh when he married Catherine Wallace. He later served in Ireland and then India where he was invalided out due to chronic arthritis. ( Chelsea Pensioner living in Scotland), Died in Montrose.
Malyon.
Your death entry looks likely, the family moved to India with him.
This I will investigate further.
Thanks to all of you. Please carry on with your investigations.
