I have hit a brick wall in my research for the family of James McIntyre and would be very grateful for any help at all.From the death certificate of James McIntyre I have the following :James McIntyre b 1849 in Maybole Ayrshire, Scotland d. 1908 in Oakbank, Kirknewton and East Calder, Midlothian, Scotland.Father : James McIntyre b. Antrim occupation coal minerMother : Ann FergusonFrom the 1851 census I have found a James McIntyre, lodger, living with a family called O'Neil from Antrim, if this is my James then perhaps he was not married to Ann Ferguson.There is another family of McIntyre's moved from Ballymena or Ballymoney to Oakbank, Kirknewton and East Calder, Midlothian, Scotland. I can find no link between this family and my James Mcintyre but feel there must be a connection. This other family is William John McIntyre b abt 1828 Ballymena and Martha Stevenson b abt 1828 Ballymena or Ballymoney.I would like to here from anyone researching 'McIntyre' from Antrim.Thank youCarol
I have tried to send you a document with information about the McIntyres but it won't let me send a Word Doc as an attachment. If you send me an email to (*) I will send this list back to you which will definitely give you much to look at. It's not a definitive list but hopefully it will help.(*) Moderator Comment: e-mail removed in accordance with RootsChat policy,to avoid spamming and other abuses.Please use the Personal Message (PM) system for exchanging personal data.New members must make at least three postings before being allowed to use the PM facility.See Help-Page: http://www.rootschat.com/help/pms.php
Hi - I know your post about the McIntyres was all a long time ago but I have just come across it. I am a direct descendant of William McIntyre and Martha Stevenson - my gggrandparents. At the time of writing you did not believe they are your family but as I too am struggling with the proverbial brick wall I wondered if you have made any further progress. It would be good to hear what has happened since you wrote that.
