Crawford Brothers
In 1887, Dr Macdonald married Agnes Crawford of Beith. Agnes was
the daughter of James Crawford. James was a person of some
substance. In 1881 he was owner of a thread manufacturing business,
Crawford Brothers; a business which employed 400 people.
Coll and Agnes Macdonald had two daughters; the eldest, my
grandmother Jessie Macdonald and her sister Eva.
Today the house
belongs to the
National Health
Service, having at one
time been a nursery
and kindergarten
school for girls.
Marriage of my grandparents:
Jessie Macdonald to Robert (Stanley)
