Fultons in Kilbarchan

[Joex6]

Hi, Mary,  My name is Anne but there were too many users already of that name so Joe seemed  quite suitable. Your husband and I are still on the same branch of the family  Joseph and Margaret from Largs had a son also Joseph who married Mary Ann Ralston. Their son Robert was my Grandad.Do you know where in Ireland Joseph came from originally.  Anne

Hi Anne

my husband is descended from Margaret Fulton ( Joseph/Margaret daughter) who married Peter McPhail my hubby's gt gt grandparents -  I have a photo of Margaret somewhere

I didn't know about Joseph -  unable to locate birth cert for Elizabeth or John, who I think were born before  Joseph/margaret married.  I have Helen/Ellen and Margaret's birth cert and marriage cert for Joseph/margaret

Have just downloaded my Joseph's death cert thanks to Anne  -  Joseph parents were James Fulton and Elizabeth McNeil or MacNeil -  so I guess we are all connected in some way

Does anyone know if James Fulton married to Elizabeth McNeil has been married twice according to 1841 and 1851 census he is married toRoss  Fulton -  ancestry doesn't have the originals only the transcribed version so unsure if the above name has been transcribed wrong.

ALSO - found this on the IGI would need to see the original as well.

Mary,
     When James Fulton born 1834 registered his father's death, (James Fulton born 1812, Ireland ) in 1877, Glasgow he put his grandmother's name down as unknown McNeil.  So I reckon the McNeils married the Fultons and we are related somewhere along the line.

Hi - I am researching Pattisons and have picked up James Fulton and Elizabeth Pattison.  I note the queries about James Fulton's origins in Ireland.  I have the couple in Ewing Street in the 1841, Steeple Street in 1851 and back to Ewing Street in the 1861. However, they appear again in the 1871 in Ewing Street, where James' birthplace is given as Co Antrim Ireland.

 Not sure how much this helps but I thought I would mention it.

Regards
Stuart

Thank you very much for this information.  Is there by any chance an area of Co Antrim that they are from?

I noted this birthplace from the FindmyPast transcription.  You could try the original image at Scotlandspeople, although I would doubt there would be anything else.  Consider it a bonus to get more than Ireland as place of birth !

However, on a more general point, then James' parents, James Fulton and Unknown McNeill could very likely be the James and Ross (Rose) Fulton also living in Ewing Street in 1841 and were related to the Hugh Fulton and Mary McNeill, also living in Ewing Street, ie they could be brothers Fulton marrying sisters McNeill, and migrating to Renfrewshire about 1815/1820.   

Hugh Fulton and Mary McNeill were both born Ireland, probably about 1790 and 1800 respectively - they had six boys all born in Renfrewshire. Hugh and Mary were both deceased before 1858, and I suspect, before 1851.

However, in the absence of any other information to go on, then a search for this family in Co Antrim could turn something up.  I have no experience of searching for Irish records around the early 1800's but I have heard it can be difficult. Good luck.
