The Scottish 1861 census put on line last week has finally given me a clue to my ggxgrandather's birthplace. The '41 and '51 just say Ireland, but 1861 gives Monaghan, Ireland. Peter McCormick was born around 1792 and came to Scotland some time before 1822 when he married in Ayrshire. His death certificate names his father as Peter McCormick also, no mother named but he named his eldest daughter Mary. Other children's first names are Daniel, Janet, Isabella, Margaret, Elizabeth, James, Peter, Thomas, John. Can anyone connect with this.

Hello,
I am also seeking McCormicks from Monaghan, I have a Joseph McCormick married to Bella Hamilton before 1815 who had son William b.c1815, my great grandfather. William married in Fermanagh , I am therefore concerned that it is possible that Monaghan and Moynaghan( in Fermanagh) became confused,
regards
Alistair

Thank you Chris,
My McCormicks went to Paisley in Scotland between 1847 and 1850 and going back beyond that is proving difficult, particularly as my great grandmother and family appeared in the Irvinestown poorhouse in 1846-47 and her residence was recorded as Boyaghan. I now havwe Monaghan, Moynaghan and Boyaghan to research, genealogy is certainly time consuming but it is a lot better than watching Australian TV.
Regards
Alistair

Hi
First time on this site so please be patient.
My great grandfather was Peter McCormick born about 1870 originally from Co Monaghan moved to Glasgow (Partick) where he met my Gt/Grandmother Mary Ann Fallon Mcfadden or McFadgen they had several children I believe and my Grandfather was born in 1893 and raised in Newton St Partick.
He subsequently married Mary Ellen Martin, on 16 July 1915. The interesting part is that Mary Martins mothers maiden name was Bridget McMahon who also came from Co Monaghan although they didn't know each other.and the post before this is looking for McMahon
Don't know what happened to the Martin side but my Gt/GFather & Mother are buried in St Kentigerns cemetry.Glasgow
This is the first time I have tried to trace my mothers side of the family so it is a bit hit and miss!! The McCormicks Moved to Hayes Middlesex in the 1930s and for several years ran William McAlpine sites around the country

Thanks for the info, unfortunately there are no older members of the Scottish side of the family left so it's a bit hit and miss. As a complete beginner I am finding it all rather daunting and welcome any help given
Many Thanks

I am also looking for information on McCormicks from monaghan, my great great gran was Eliza(beth) McCormick born circa 1857, her parents were Michael McCormick and Jane Daly. Other children that i know of were James, mary, Catherine and susan, not necessarily in that order.
My McCormicks came to Glasgow between 1865-1875.
