Thomas McConnell/Agnes Robison

Hi Canisp,
Just a thought, could the 12 yr old Thomas born Ireland in the 1841 Census be a grandson of Thomas and Agnes?

He's not James' son as I have him in England in 1841, but three of Thomas and Agnes's other sons are old enough to be his father. Another direction for you to look in perhaps?

Hello Emeltom,

Yes that is a possibility. I was thinking he may have been a nephew of Thomas and Agnes. Whatever the relationship it looks like he has been raised as their son as stated on his death record in 1916.

Hi Canisp,

I was wondering if he might be the child of Thomas and Agnes' son Thomas. I have found a marriage for a Thomas McConnell to an Agnes Hamilton in Hamilton, Lanark on 27 Feb 1825. My Scottish geography isn't up to much but the map tells me that Hamilton is some way from Kirkcudbright but I have learned that with families anything can happen!

Thanks Emeltom,

It's another lead that may be worth following up. I've just e-mailed you the headstone photo so hopefully you receive it ok.

Hello to those who have replied to this post and thank you for sharing the information.

I am researching Thomas David McConnell who was married in Jamaica in 1857 and died there in 1911. He was born around 1830.

He had a sister, Thomasina, born around 1837.

We don't know where either child was born, but an oral history about Thomas David suggests he spoke with a 'Scottish brogue', sang "Annie Laurie" a lot and his parents caught a ship from Jamaica to go home and were never heard from again.

Do you have any missing members of the family who may be the parents of these two people?

Thomas David and his wife, Elizabeth Smart Haughton Reid, named their children:
- David George
- Mary Georgiana
- Thomasina Rebecca Susannah
- Milborough Millicent
- Thomas Charles

Thanks for any consideration you can give to my search.
Kind regards
