George Donald
George Donald (12 May 1846 – 9 July 1930) was an Australian politician.
He was born at Paddington to stonemason George Donald and Jane Galbraith. In 1852 the family settled at Yass, and the younger Donald learned his father's trade. From 1867 he worked on the western railway, and then became a contractor and builder from 1876 at Lithgow. In 1870 he married Marian Wiles, with whom he had ten children. In 1889 he was Lithgow's first mayor. He served in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1891 to 1894 as the Free Trade member for Hartley. Around 1909 he moved to Sydney. Donald died in 1930 at Marrickville.[1]
