Derry (Londonderry) / Re: MCILMOIL/CAMPBELL Newtown Limavady/Balteagh *quite long *

Hi   Thankyou for your reply, I just didnt think.  Do you know what kind of ship travelled at that time to Scotland would it have been a ferry?   I cant find them in Ireland living between their marriage 1n 1850 and their arrival in the 1861 census in Wishaw.  Never mind at least I know what period of time they came over and when they had their first child.... my two G G Grandfather!

My family married 1850 in Newtownlimavady District, they were found on the 1861 Census Wishaw Lanarkshire Scotland.  Is there a ship or passenger list showing their immigration please?  Would they have come directly to that part of Scotland or would they have landed somewhere north?  Thankyou for any help.

Down / Please can you find the death of a Elinor Blair married Kirkcubben
« on: Wednesday 30 January 13 00:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,  Iam looking for an Elinor Blair (nee Walker)  She is not at her daughters record of birth in 1825 in Kircubben Down.  Her husbands name is James Blair.  Jane (daughter) came to Scotland and is in 1841 Census in her own household then again in 1851  1861  8171  etc  she died in 1886 in Wishaw Lanarkshire.  Cant find any trace of her parents, did they come over from Ireland with her and died before the 1841 census or were they still in Ireland or maybe lived somewhere else in Lanarkshire.  I would appreciate any info.  Thankyou.

Derry (Londonderry) / Lost grave
« on: Wednesday 23 January 13 15:30 GMT (UK)  »
  Hi     Is it likely that a lady who died in Scotland would be reclaimed for burial by her Irish family?  She died 1886 in Lanarkshire not married and no children, but had some family beside her in the town she lived.  I am not able to find a record of her burial but have found her death certificate.  Just a shot in the dark, as I was told the records of that year could have been destroyed.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thankyou

HI,   Archibald ( Henry and Agnes son born 1862)  married Jeannie Leggate yes thats right.  Muirhead comes in as the husband of Jane McPhail (Henry and Agnes daughter)  She died 1927 in Wishaw her son William I believe lived in England as he signed her death certificate, her husband died before her.  She was born 1856!  She was 70 when she died and considering she was in the house where there was Typhoid well she must have been strong.  Can you enlighten me as to Jane Blair, you think she is buried in the Cambusnethan Village but no record or no grave?  I am looking forward to seeing these graves is it quite easy to get to them in Cambusnethan or are they overgrown?  Thankyou for your trouble in searching.  June

 :) Thankyou very much for your speedy reply, you are a star!   I am coming up to Motherwell in April, and thought I could visit these if possible, I will find out where it is not too familiar with Cambusnethan.   Poor Jane Blair, Iam so sad her grave can not be found, my heart goes out to her, she lived in the same address as Henry and Agnes when all this trauma was going on, nurse her other remaining nephews (George, my ancester and Archibald, who is in your list as dying at 33years old) until she was 60ish in 1886, in the family house in Caledonian Road, I owe her a lot and would not be here if she hadnt been so dedicated to the family! :( :(   So a paupers grave seems not right as Archibald and George would have surely looked after her??  Anyway, I also have Muirhead  Leggat   etc... spouses of the McPhail family to search so will continue  I am so grateful for the rootschat site you are all very dedicated and we are glad you are there.  June   PS Re: Henry and Agnes marriage in Ireland Parish of Banagher is the next line of search have proof of the date of marriage its just getting the transcript for more info about their parents so I have lots to do.
