Down / Neill family of Hillsborough
« on: Thursday 27 April 06 06:51 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters,
I would like to find out more about my Neill ancestors from Ireland. According to family info, they came from Hillsborough, Co. Down. The family members I have so far are:
William Neill
b. abt 1796, Hillsborough
depending on who I ask, he was a soldier in the British Army in India, a spice merchant and/or a farmer
Lillian Neill, nee Weir
possibly born in Scotland
Children:
Thomas, William, Margaret, Martha, Jane & Abraham (my g-g-grandfather).
Abraham migrated to Australia in 1852 when he was only 9 years old in the company of his 30-year-old brother Thomas and his wife Margaret.
Any assistance or advice to track them down would be greatly appreciated.

How to Use RootsChat (Please don't post requests here) / Private Responses?
« on: Friday 21 April 06 23:26 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters,
I'm wondering why some of you send personal responses instead of public ones when someone has made a public enquiry about their ancestry? Apart from denying other Rootschatters the chance to read useful and interesting answers, advice on further research, website addresses etc, it leads to wasted time and effort for other researchers who look up the same records and websites to help that person. Why cause duplicated research unnecessarily? I can understand if there is some sensitive information to be given, but otherwise why bother?
I would be interested to know what others think about this.
Cheers, Brisgirl
