Blue family of Greenock Renfrewshire.
« on: Friday 27 March 15 10:47 GMT (UK) »
Hello  ,This is my first time here. Hoping for some help with the Blue family. Daniel [ Angus] Blue born 26th Jan. 1762. in Greenock ? some of the family also went to Glasgow, and others went to Thorpe in Norfolk. Fingers crossed that some friendly members or perhaps family members can help. :)

Re: Blue family of Greenock Renfrewshire.   Still have a brick wall regarding the family.Blue known to been Greenock Renfrewshire .Daniel thought to be head of the family, born approx. 1762. family migrated to Yorkshire and then to Thorp in Norfolk. Daniel was employed on the railways. love any information on him or the family. My tree available on Ancestry.com  Many thanks, Rosemary.
