so more looking about, would i be in correct in thinking that the whole fulton family came across from ireland?

as this may be the father of all concerned

james...age 61...handloom weaver...born ireland
ross...age 59...born ireland

1851 census; ewing street, kilbarchan

james...head...age 71...pauper, former handloom weaver...born ire
ross...wife...age 69...born ireland.


whenever you get the chance i suggest a wee trip to kilbarchan, renfrewshire, as they have a weaver's cottage open to the public and well worth a visit.

i forgot to mention that you can tie the whole thing together by getting death cert from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk it would be of great advantage to your goodself to confirm all the family.

should you require some one to visit the local cemetery, give me a shout as i stay local to kilbarchan, you could always tie in with gadget and the rootschat meet in glasgow, later this year, orginising a day trip to kilbarchan.

   Joe thank you so much for the census information, it will give me something to work with.  This is my hubby's side of the family, and it seems  all the branches of his tree, come from ireland -  and he thinks he's  Scottish through and through he will be shocked

you are more than welcome pal, is there anything else you require?
