Andrew Lowson MCDONALD, (son of Donald "Daniel " MCDONALD), b. 17 Sep 1866, Forfar parish Angus Scotland, d. 12 Apr 1867, Forfar Angus
Birth record established per actual register record see below. . Middle name probably after his maternal great great grandmother Helen Lawson and probably misspelled Lowson on the register. Lawson and Lowson are also interchangeable spellings of the same name at the time. However since we now know that Daniel knew that Margaret Crocket was his real mother, we can't rule out the possibility Andrew has the middle name of his probable great grandmother, Margaret Lowson the mother of Julia Piggot Crocket. Andrew dies of whooping cough or pertussis in Forfar which turned into pneumonia.(death certificate photo attached TRANSCRIPT OF ENTRY IN REGISTER OF BIRTHS
