Did He Cross The Atlantic?
« on: Thursday 14 May 09 14:20 UTC (UK) »

Hi Rootschatters

Is it possible to find out if and when James Rennie (or Renny) left Britain?
He was born in Spittal 1,5.1789, and married Ann Bell in Longbenton on 7.5.1816. 3 children that I know of were born there, Hannah and Jane in 1820, and Ann in 1823.
I cannot find him on the 1841C, and have discovered a death for him on 29.8.1878 at Trevorton, Northumberland, Pennsylvania USA.
Thank you.
Liz

Hi ...Liz

A very detailed account of this man can be found on the "A" site in Ancestry world tree's
James Renny b 1 May 1789 arrived in Pennsylvania (Pottsville) in 1830's.

There is an e-mail for the gentleman who has the tree which was last updated in 2004.

Thanks, Tazzie, it's exciting to trace him going to Pennsylvania, as it could explain why 2 nephews, sons of his sister Isabella, (one of which was my Gt Grandfather) went out to Pennsylvania

Please excuse my ignorance, I'm still finding my way around computers - but I tried to find the Ancestry world tree without success. I can find other people's trees which include James, but not the details you mention.

What do I do!

Liz,

If I recall correctly, my mom's former boss descends from James RENNIE & a BELL woman. Boss lives in Northumberland County, PA. If you would like, I could ask if he is interested in this line and in corresponding with you. And if you need a lookup in the Trevorton/Shamokin area, perhaps I can help.

Hi JudyLynn, thanks for your message.
I can always send you my email on a PM if the Boss wants to correspond. It's amazing how our genes are spread all over the world.
Is the Lynn part of your name attached, - it isn't a surname, is it? I have Lynn ancestors in PA, too!
If there's anything I can think of I'll get in touch. I'll have a look in my US records. Thanks very much for the offer.
Liz
