RE: Ronald McDonell
I'm lost and very new to genealogy, so if anyone can help I would be ever so grateful.
My Grandfathers name was Willian John McDonell , of Maldon, Victoria, Australia born abt 1888 in Campbelltown according to his marriage certificate but my sister remembers him telling her he was born on a ship coming out here from Ireland. Also on the same cert' reference to his father being Ronald McDonell (deceased) and his mother Margaret McDonald (I'm lead to believe she was born in South Australia), I know Margaret remarried a William Ashley in 1899 but I can't find any reference to a date for Ronalds death or for that matter anything else.
This is drivng me silly, if anyone has any hints PLEASE pass them on.
Cheers,
Belinda
