Fermanagh / Help Requested - Look Up Death June 1876
« on: Saturday 27 July 13 18:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am looking for some help in trying to piece together a bit of my husband's family story. I have a birth certificate which notes the death of Alexander Symington in County Fermanagh on 30th June 1876. Both his parents came from Ireland and I am surmising that he was visiting or working in Ireland at the time. He had been living in Glasgow with his parents before marrying there. I wanted to confirm the death and the cause as he was a young man probably in his 30's. Depending on what it was, that might help establish why he was over.

Thanks for any help possible.

Hi Allan

He married Catherine Hallyday.  He had a son Francis but that is the only child I have so far been able to identify.  The Cottages feature as an address further down my family tree but the family always seem to have stayed around there and I have not got an address for John.

Hi,

Don't know if we have a connection.  My Kerrs lived in Cleughbrae Cottages and the last one I have is a John who married in 1805.  Did your John have a son John?

Thanks for the advice.  I have tried to trace her using wildcards but the only Harries Fraser I can find is single and was registered by a neighbour.  I'll keep looking.

Dumfriesshire / Herries Irving
« on: Saturday 15 October 11 00:41 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to get information on Herries Irving born in Annan about 1792.  She lived with James Fraser in Brachill and - the census has her under her maiden name and I have not found any marriage certificate.  The names became family names but it may have been Harris Irvine as these were what was handed down.  I have drawn blanks with Scotland's People.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have only seen your message by total co-incidence.  Robert Kerr was my great grandfather.  He was a policeman in Lanarkshire.  He died before I was born but I remember his wife.  I have other information if you want.

Write to Sharon McAlees at Dalrymple House, 195, Dalrymple Street, Greenock.  There should be records on your friend but s/he will have to ask for them him/herself.  Bank Street was a home in Greenock until fairly recently.   :)

Thanks again.  I am trying to find information about a number of people in the Dumfries area so am trying to get as much information as possible before coming down. :)
