	Rosebank Cemetery, Leith, Edinbugh. Gravestone reads In Loving Memory of John H.A. Donaldson 1912-1962. He's buried in the plot of my g-grandfather John Hunter Adams (possible origin of the H.A.?). Can anybody tell me anything about this person? Thanks Alistair

The only way to find out if for someone who is going to the Edinburgh GRO to check it for you. Betty

	This was a Eureka moment when I solved it. John Donaldson (Snr) married TWO of my grandaunts (the first died in childbirth), and had a son, John Donaldson, by each.
