Ambrose Aloysius McDonald was born 24 October 1889 in Vowinckel, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. He was the youngest son of Michael McDonald and Anna Haggerty. Ambrose and his second wife Jeannette Margaret Straley were married on 23 December 1953 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Jeannette was the daughter of George Straley and Caroline Oliphant. She was born about 1886.
This was also a second marriage for Jeannette M. Straley. Her first husband was Fred Emerson Allen. The death date for Fred Emerson Allen is currently not known.
The photograph may have been taken the day the couple married - note that Jeannette is wearing a corsage and Ambrose appears to be wearing a boutineer.
