  • Notes 
    • Margaret was the daughter of John and Ann (Reid) Allan.

      BIOGRAPHY: Ina Donaldson, in her letter to Neva and Jim Munro, 26 February 1998, tells us that "Grandma Munro used to have all her son's pictures on the top of her dresser, and she used to change them every week and make him the banker for the week." Also, "Granda (William) Munro never lived at Primrose Cottage it was after he died that Grandma moved up there when J. Sime married Jessie Munro and Primrose belonged to Antie Maggie (Wilson) at that time and Gma paid her a rent and Aunt M. kept the garden for hersel (herself), and a while before that it was the Post Office for the Village and up until it was sold the Post Office door was still on what was the kitchen then in Grandma time, but it changed hands a lot since then."

      RESIDENCE: More from Ina Donaldson in her letter to Neva and Jim Munro, 6 Apr 1998: Primrose Cottage and Hilton House are both on the main road. Primrose on the right going down (west) and Hilton on the left, on the corner as you go up (south) to the railway station. It has a licensed grocer shop, and it was a shop when Ina's Aunt Maggie lived there. It has changed hands a few times since she hat it. It was a Mr. and Mrs. Kirk that had it last, but he died. Since that the shop has been closed; Mrs. Kirk still (1998) lives there.
