• Name	Betsy-Chisholm McDonald
  Birth	11 Oct 1870	32 South Guildry Street, Elgin, Moray, Scotland   [1, 2]
  	Betsy-Chisholm MacDonald (Illegitimate) at 2.25am Parents: Hellen MacDonald, Daughter of a Farmer Hellen MacDonald, Mother was the informant Father stated as Alexander Chisholm
  Gender	Female
  Death	31 Jul 1871	7 Stewartsville Street, Partick, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland   [1, 3]
  	Cause: Teething - 2 weeks
  	Elizabeth Chisholm at 8.40 PM, aged 9 months Parents: Alexander Chisholm, Railway Guard & Helen Chisholm MS McDonald Isabella McDonald, X her mark, Aunt was the informant of her death. (address of 7 Stewartsville Street, Partick is the address her sister Isabella Brown was born at in 1873 before they left to come to NZ) There is NO marriage of Helen McDonald to any Alexander Chisholm recorded in Scotland and as Betsy's birth certificates states her Mother was not married at the time of her birth, I feel this was a ploy so as the word illegitimate would not be recorded on her death certificate as it commonly would have been.)
