Antrim / Re: Does anyone here know of Wayne Dickey?
« on: Saturday 15 August 20 06:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jon.

I have Dickey in my family tree from Co. Antrim going back to Nathaniel Dickey, b. abt 1757. My 3rd Gt-Grandmother was Mary Rose Dickey and married Roger Luke. their daughter, Rose Elizabeth (Dickey) Morrow is my Gt Grandmother, Esther (Morrow) McIntyre's mother.
Esther and Robert (Gt-Grandfather) emigrated to NZ with their two sons; the third son being born in NZ some 11 years after my Grandfather, George Luke McIntyre.

I am sorry to hear you have lost contact with Wayne; been there myself with a USA relative on my Grandmother's side.

By chance, do any of the names mentioned above pop up in your Dickey Family? I'm trying to get more information on my Dickey family, so looking everywhere and happened upon your post.

Kind regards
Rhel McIntyre

Antrim / Re: Parents of James Porter born 12 FEB 1841 townland of Corbally, Parish Killead,

I have just stumbled upon this post, 2 years later!
James and Rachel (Alexander) Porter were my 3rd Gt Grandparents; their eldest child Robert being my 2nd Gt Grandfather.
They had a son named John Reid Porter (Reid being the surname of James' Grandmother, Elizabeth), born 1841 in Ballyvally, Loughgilly, Co. Armagh, so the James Porter born 12 Feb 1841 is not the son of James and Rachel.

Renfrewshire / Re: Is anyone researching the Langs of Renfrewshire?
« on: Saturday 18 August 18 06:12 BST (UK)  »
Almost a year to the day of being 3 years later to this post!!

I'm researching the LANGS of Renfrewshire! And hoping you may help me.
Searching records available and other Ancestry members, I can take my Lang family back to PATRICK LANG, born 16/2/1691 (1st query) Kilmacolm (and assumed died there) who married Grizall (or Grizel) Barnhill 18/12/1716 in Kilmacolm. Are you tracing this line of Langs? The date of birth came from an Ancestry member and I cannot remember who , so searched ScotlandsPeople to no avail (don't appear to have records going back that far) to verify date of birth. Do you have a copy of birth record for Patrick?

My Lang family were predominantly farmers, born and lived in Kilmacolm and Kilbarchan areas and only later on spread a wee bit to Erskne and Greenock. Only in the mid-late 1800's did the Langs start moving further afield. My 2nd Gt-Grandfather (son of Alexander Lang) though emigrated to Australia in 1837, sponsored by John Dumblane Lang, settling in New South Wales.
The second Query is of Patrick's Gt-Grandson, John [b.16/3/1776], son of Arthur.  Only two records come up on SotlandsPeople for the birth of John's son Alexander born in Kilbarchan and each shows a different mother - Sarah Whithill and Elizabeth Spiers. Ancestry members are divided; many showing or the other. I am leaning towards Elizabeth Spiers, only because one daughter is named Elizabeth, and none of the other daughters are named Sarah after the mother, as most families did back then. Are you able to help with this puzzle?
