Hi not sure if someone can give me an answer - my family, Beresfords had been living in Dromore , Co Down and later in Kinallen - Some came over to Scotland 1860s to Springburn, Glasgow and settling in Airdrie, Lanarkshire. I know about the traditional naming conventions for children, and this family belonging to John Beresford had quite a few. They had 3 eldest boys then 2 daughters and then a son . The eldest daughter was born in 1861 called Eliza Ann Scott Doake Beresford . I don't know anything at all about the parents - John Beresford and Dorothy Beck , and that John was a soldier according to his children's Scorttish death certificates. Does anyone know anything about those families Scott or Doake and would they have been related to the Beck family ? Incidentally I've been searching for birth or death details for both parents but find nothing yet .
