United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records, 1760-1913

On the census records Donald gives his birth year as 1804 / 1805. As he didn't die until after statutory registration began in 1855 you should search on Scotlandspeople for his death. Theregistration will say if he is "married to" or "widow of " Janet. If the informant knew the details you should be able to get his parents names including his mothers maiden surname.

EDIT

Remember that ages were rounded down in the 1841 census so age may be more accurate in later census.
