Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Charles Scott, Ballynian/Ballylame Garvagh

Thanks for endeavours with the Hugh element.  There are simply so many, usually four or five in every generation that we are putting them on the back burner as it were.  I believe James the chief mourner may have been the son of a cousin who had the same name as Hugh's the twins' father.  There is an Archibald Scott who had a son James married in 1915 and he resided at Portrush, but this would have been too young for Charles's son Archibald who was only in his teens then, but a possible relative.  Ancestry suggests Archibald married Geraldine in Toronto, so have contacted that tree holder.

Aghadowey, thanks once again for help.  I had searched high and low for ages for John but I do know that census is prone to error.   So very sad about this little one.  No idea then who James the nephew was as I was only aware of one brother Hugh.  Charlie's son Hugh then the only son not accounted for, and yes, the daughters did stay in NZ.

Just found out tonight the youngest was James Smyth Scott, not John Smyth Scott. On the obit for Charles 1937 he is listed as having nephews Hugh and James, and I have identified Hugh as being the son of his twin Hugh, whose brothers were Alex and Robert and much younger than Hugh.  I wonder if nephew James was in fact his son James back in Ni.  Any info on him would be very welcome too.

Many thanks Aghadowey never would have dreamed that Archie was living so close by.  Now we only have to account for Hugh, and nearly every branch of the family had a Hugh!

Hi, I have a fair part done researching Scotts of Garvagh/Kilrea/Swatragh.  The branch i am working on now is the family of Charles Scott born 1866, who resided between Garvagh and Swatragh in the late 1900s.  Charles marrried twice, his first wife was McCullough with whom he raised a large family.  After her death he remarried to Eliz Smyth and they had a son John Smyth Scott 1909.  We do know the son William went to S Africa, Lewis and Hugh went abroad and returned. Others may have stayed overseas, or returned, we just don't know. We are told leaving date was circa 1920 and Hugh at least back within five or six years.  I am looking info on the marriages, if any and the burials of Charles junior, Archy (Archibold), Hugh and John Smyth Scott, I think I can account for the sisters who went to NZ and Lewis who appears with Archibold in 1937 as chief mourners at the Father Charles' funeral in Main Street Pres. Garvagh - I know ladies would not have been named as such in any case, and he was buried from Lewis' home near Stewartstown. We always knew hot weather made Charles senior ill and he had to come back to NI.   However Archibold if he was the only surviving or remaining in NI son except Lewis is elusive. Any info on the sons gratefully received.  Also interested in Scott of Moyletra who were cousins of these on some level.

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: PICKERING
« on: Thursday 04 February 21 22:10 GMT (UK)  »
I did my paternal family tree some time ago, and found the earliest female to be Mary A Pickering married Thomas Wanlock at Macosquin 1858, he is not a problem at all, but the fact that she lived at Bushtown, near Coleraine surprised me - I had always known that Pickering was a "south of the county" name. Her father was William.  I reckoned she might have lived at Bushtown as she worked there.  I put this one on the back burner.  Now an Ancestry DNA result and subsequent contact shows that I have a 4th cousin approx  through Pickering/Lennox, Castledawson area.  But I cannot find a William who may have had a daughter Mary A of marriageable age 1858.  Any help welcome.

The North Antrim Purdy post turned out to be an adoptee from my family into this one, so this closed by me.
