I am looking for information on Alexander and Nancy McDonell, Lancaster 8 N 11, who I believe are my 2x great grandparents. I have them in the 1851 census with several children and in the 1871 census, where the first children have left the nest, and younger ones are counted. I cannot find them in 1861, which would fill in some blanks. Also can't find their marriage, which is likely St Raphael's, as that is where I have found children's baptisms. Later burials are at Glen Nevis.

Is anyone familiar with this family? I seem to be stuck.

Census information suggests that Alexander was born December 1818, and I have found an Alexander McDonell born December 15, 1818 and baptized at St. Raphael's December 22, 1818, son of Lachlin McDonell and Nancy McDonell, sponsors Angus McDonell and Catherine McDonell.

Of course, now I'm stuck on Lachlin and Nancy! I found such a couple on the 9th Lancaster, but it looks like they are probably too young.

And I still have not been able to find a marriage for Alexander and Nancy that fits.

Thank you for suggestions. They are much appreciated.
