Hugh Henry McDonald c1849 Portsea, Hampshire - his wife Dinah Talbot c1852 Somerset, they married in 1872 in Somerset. I have found them in the 1881 Portsea Census with 4 children, all born in Portsea, Hampshire.... Margaret Victoria c1873 Emma Elizabeth c1875 Charlotte c1878 Hugh Henry c1880 I have found a Death Registration for a Hugh H McDonald, born abt 1880 and died in 1917 in Portsmouth District. Also a marriage for a Hugh H McDonald in 1902, again in Portsmouth. So where is everyone after 1881?!?!?! lol
