hughes and falloon families

[anne jane]

Hi Pam

I have had problems too with finding certificates for the Falloon family on Scotlands people.  I think the reason for that is to get the certificate you need the exact spelling of the name on the certificate.

I will be going to the LDS sometime in the next few weeks so will search the indexes to the bdm's to see if I can find Falloons on them.

If you live near an LDS centre then I suggest you do the same as in the long run it will save you money.

My falloons arrived in Scotland around 1850 I managed to work this out when I found their date of marriage which was given as 1846 in Ireland and first found them on the 1851 census staying in Glengarnock Ayrshire

I have been trying to find Patrick Falloons date of death which is between 1871 and 81 as I am trying to find out who his parents were the same with his wife Sarah but like yourself I have had no luck in finding them on Scotland's people

Where do you stay?

I'm in Edinburgh so get quite a lot of access through Edinburgh Library's "Scottish History room".  The LDS has funny opening hours for us 9 to 5 girls.

I had a look at the Troqueer OPRs yesterday and saw some entries for catholic families listed with the adendum (e.g.) "...performed by J P McManus catholic priest".  But no sign of my lot.

Lots of squinting time still needed!

Cheers,
Pam

Hi Pam

Have you tried searching for poor law applications?  I don't know where they would be held for the areas that you are researching perhaps someone in the library maybe able to tell you.

My grandmother and her family,the Johnstons, came from Dumfries but I haven't really done much research on that side of the family

The LDS here in Glasgow have quite good opening times the only thing is that they close during the school holidays

I will need to make a trip one day to Edinburgh so would appreciate any tips you could give me on researching there as I have never been

Nice to hear from you and keep in touch

Hi All

I am also trying to find Faloon's or Feloon's that are from Armagh Ireland. All I know is Margaret Caroline Faloon born in Armagh in 1838/1839 to John and Helen Faloon. The immigrated to Australia before 4th July 1861 as Margaret married John Harrison on this date.

If any of your Faloon's match these I would love to hear it! Have been searching for a while now and cannot find anything!

Thanks

 Annie Falloon came to Australia in 1863/64. Her parents are listed as Joseph Falloon and Mary Anne Woods. She was born in about 1840. She came from the Kilmore area of Armagh. I have found the surname spelt as Faloon, Fulloon, Fuline and Falon.

Hi Gloss

This post might get better results on the Armagh/Ireland board here on RootsChat unless Annie and family were in Ayrshire/Scotland for any of the censuses before she left for Australia.

Regards.
