Argyllshire / Re: Gregor McGregor
« on: Wednesday 22 November 17 10:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,
I think I may be descended from Gregor & Sarah's son Malcolm, born 1793 in Auchenduin, Lismore.If this is the correct Malcolm, he married Mary MacTavish, daughter of Duncan of Couranbeg,Craignish and settled in Eridine, then Durrin in Dalavich. In the 1841 Census he is living there as a Cotter with wife Mary and children GREGOR, MARY, DUNCAN, ALEXANDER and JOHN. Ten years later only Alexander and John are still there, now living with in-laws the Thomson/MacTavish family. Daughter Mary married Duncan McTavish in Lochgilphead and the family moved to Roseneath. Their daughter Mary married John Morrison. Their daughter Elizabeth married John Weir in West Maryston, and I am their g-grandson!

Armagh / Re: Boylans of Mullabrack - Please help!

 :D Once again many thanks for this excellent help. I have found the 1891 Census Scotland which reveals that Patrick Boylan & Catherine Gerraghty WERE born in Co. Antrim. Sooooo, they must have been in Mullabrack working, probably at the old quarry in Mullabrack Road. My mother remember family holidays much later to Warrenpoint as well. So we are looking for a John Boylan (a cooper)whose children are Patrick, Felix and Ann, in Antrim.

Armagh / Was there a Cooperage in Armagh?

All of my Irish Boylan ancestors seem to have been coopers to trade, I was wondering if there was a cooperage somewhere in Mullabrack area?

Thank you folks this is brilliant. The family names do seem to match. If only I could match them all on a census pre 1863. Without that I can't confirm the exact family line.

And then there is another little mystery..Interestingly we have an old letter in the archive which mentions brothers John,Felix & Leon Boylan. John was a cooper to trade, who had a Grocer/Public House at Greens Cross. Felix kept a public house in Kilmarnock, but moved to Liverpool. Then comes the exciting bit.."One of my uncles left the Ordinance Survey and went to the United States. Serving as a Captain in a brush with the Mexicans he received 5 city lots in Atlanta City, that of Georgia"
Can anyone shed any light on this ? I have attached the full note.

Thanks for that, it may well be. I have his death cert, died in 1909 aged 70. His father was Patrick Boylan and listed as a Cooper. From a newly-found 1881 Scotland census, his brother is living with them in Port Glasgow. The brother is a quarryman and named Felix. Later he lives in Glasgow with his sister Anne. Weirdly Felix's death cert has the parents listed as John Boylan (Cooper) and Ann Doonan, but Patrick's death cert has the father as Patrick Boylan (Cooper) and mother Mary Doonan...?

Armagh / Boylans of Mullabrack - Please help!
« on: Sunday 11 January 15 14:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there, I am trying to trace my ancestors from Armagh who moved to Greenock, Scotland in the late 1800s. The last record I have is of Patrick Boylan and Catherine McGarrity (or Garrity) wedding in September 1865 in Mullabrack. I think Patrick's father was a farmer and also named Patrick, his mother was Mary Doonan. Catherine's parents were Patrick McGarrity and Catherine Duffy. I have traced the family to Scotland, where their son played football for Morton and Woolwich Arsenal. Any help at all would be much appreciated!
