Okeedoke....thank you.

Have you got James' parents names?
He was born before civil registration of births but Church of Ireland marriages were registered from 1845.

His parents were James McIntyre and Catherine Pendergrass.  I have a date of 1/7/1854 in Ireland and death was 7/11/1940 in Pa.  Catherine Pendergrass was born 12/18/1857 in Muiravonside,Stirlingshire,Scotland,and died March 31,1928,in Sugar Notch,Pa. I'd be most grateful for any information you can give me!I can't be sure what I have here is correct! Their oldest daughter Catherine is my husbands paternal grandmother. I've been often told that she and her husband William Watt were first cousins.

Finding this couple listed as James' parents in his 1874 marriage record may be an issue.  I couldn't readily find a couple (James McIntyre & Anne McKernan / McKinnon or any variants on both surnames) or any children to them in Irish records (is there evidence, other than family lore, that they were from Ireland?), hopefully fresh eyes will succeed.

Good mornning gaffy.Thank you for all of your help. My thought is that they might have temorarily lived in Ireland and were actually Scottish.Would it be possible to move this topic to the Scottish section where I might possibly get other answers? I appreciate any help anyone offers!
