Could someone look on 1841 census for James & Christina Donaldson. I have them on 1881 census in Edinburgh, ages 65 &63. Both say they were born in Edinburgh. They were married in 1840. So a married couple. Cannot find them on Freecen. Many thanks. Hilary.

Thankyou so much, yes that is them by the look of it. Looks like the Mckenzies could be relations of Christina's as her maiden name was that.
