Does anyone have photographs of Capper's Row, Armadale. My wife's family Duncan/ Barras lived there 1890/ 1900's. Have sourced miners Union report on conditions but would love to have a photograph if available.

Thank you Shane information very helpful. I did find the Stephen King/ Sally Folan link and did wonder if there was an error in the transcript hence my post on Galway site. Your info on the pet name makes it worth chasing up, which I shall do through GRO Roscommon.
I respect of Margaret Coyne's maiden name. I'm not sure although I have found a possible link showing the birth of Ann Coyne to Michael Coyne & Margaret O'Hora or maybe should be O'Hara.

Thanks again,

Peter

Galway / King Family
« on: Sunday 29 April 12 18:59 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on my Family who originate from Ireland possibly County Galway. My G/Father John King b 1870/2 left Ireland & settled in Lasswade, Midlothian, Scotland where he married Mary Ann Coyne b 1872/3 ( also born in Ireland ) in Loanhead, Midlothian RC Church. John's parents were Stephen King & Sarah Folan and Mary Ann's were Michael Coyne deceased before 1891 & Margaret Coyne who lived with her daughter in Scotland.
If anyone can shed some light on the family I shall be extremely grateful. Time spent in Dublin records office was unsuccessful so any help is appreciated.

Thank you for your thoughts & ideas on how to progress my search. I'm looking both back & forward in my search to try to identify where the family originate from & how the family moved about on arriving in Scotland in the late 1880's or early 1890's. I do have marriage certificate which shows John's parents as Stephen King & Sarah Folan both born in Ireland. Posts with information on Stephen King & Sally Tolan  or Mary Tolan are interesting & worth further checking to see if maybe a spelling error somewhere. On the Marriage Certificate both parents were shown as alive with occupation of Stephen given as Farmer. My thoughts on this occupation is it was more of a Smallholding than Farm he was involved in & a rented holding rather than owned. Mary Ann's father Michael Coyne was shown as deceased on the same Certificate.1911 Census still showed just Ireland & check of Church Marriage records were inconclusive as well. Same story when I visited Dublin. Very frustrating especially as it is such recent history & I am sure the family still live in the Edinburgh/Borders area.
Thank you again for your ideas any other information or ideas will be most welcome. Looks like I shall have to spend some time in Edinburgh on my next visit to UK & Scotland.

I am looking for any information on the King family who lived in the Lasswade area 1891/1901.
The family consisted of John King, Mary Ann King nee Coyne & Margaret Coyne Mother in Law. I have details of 1891 Census showing them living in Lasswade and John working as a Shale Miner also 1901 Census shows them living in School House, Lasswade and John now working as Coal Miner ( Rewer) with the children.
I have met a blank wall trying to trace family and any help will be very welcome.

Thanks

Midlothian / Re: Irish/Scottish Connection

Thank you for all your help & suggestions.
 I have pursued all the usual channels & have marriage & death certs as well as census details for 1891 & 1901 for G/parents. I also have death cert & census for 1891 & 1901 for GG/mother but, in all instances it only shows Ireland as place of birth.
Hopefully 1911 census will show actual place of birth which will narrow the search area consideably.

Thanks again & if anyone has a flash of inspiration please let me know & I hope I can be of assistance to someone in future.

Midlothian / Irish/Scottish Connection
« on: Monday 08 November 10 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
I'm hoping someone can assist me in linking my Scottish/Irish ancestry. My G/father John King married my G/mother Mary Ann Coyne on 26 Dec 1890 in St Margaret's Catholic Church, Loanhead. Both were born in Ireland 1872/1873 but no details of the County where born. Understand parents were Stephen King/Sarah Folan and Michael or Hugh Coyne/Margaret Coyne. Any help will be appreciated because to date, even with search of Dublin Registry Office nothing found.

Peter
