Okay, so which James is this?

I'm not finding Margaret. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Dr. Wilton McDonald II - Attorney & Barrister shall I adjust the parents to fit the document?

Sure in my lineage Daniel is squeezed in beteeen John William and William Edward Macdonald

Okay - done.

Have a look at the other uploaded sources - https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000153781313827 Jamaica Births and Baptisms, 1752-1920 hasn't actually uploaded. Can I help you with that?

This one neither: https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000153781313827

They look like they could be important.

Also, now we're sitting with him having 2 children between the ages of 64 and 73 years old. Not impossible, but not especially likely.

William McDonald has a source citation as follows

William Macdonald (bap Dec 21 1840 Hanover, Cornwall, Jamaica -)
s/o James Macdonald & Jane

I think it either has the wrong parents or it's not the John in your tree? What do you say?
