Montgomeryshire / Francis & Richards of Montgomeryshire
« on: Saturday 13 August 11 00:17 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm looking to delve deeper into my Welsh Roots - but at the moment have hit one heck of a brick wall.
 
My Great Great Great Grandfather was Evan Francis. He was born around 1808 - 1811 and according to Census records he was born in Llangadfan. He died in 1897 in the Parish of Cemmes, Montgomeryshire. He Married Anne Richards on 6 April 1850 and Evan's Father is given as David Francis

(Anne was born around 1824 in Cemmes the Daughter of John Richards and Anne who's maiden name is possibly Jones).

If anyone could tell me how i could find more information on the parents and siblings of Evan Francis and Anne Richards i would be very grateful as they are as far back as i can go at the moment.

Many thanks,

Keelan McKenzie

Derry (Londonderry) / Walter Casson & Catherine McGlinchy
« on: Thursday 28 April 11 15:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm researching a Tree for a friend and have come across some Irish in his line. His Great Great Grandfather was Walter Casson Son of Abraham, and was born in Lancashire. His Spouse was Catherine McGlinchy born between 1875 & 1884 in Londonderry. Walter appears on the England census' for 1881 & 1891 but then disappears. Walter & Catherine had a Daughter Anne Casson born 13 October 1910 in Londonderry amongst other children. Would anyone be able to help my find the family of Catherine McGlinchy please?

Thankyou!

Angus (Forfarshire) / Some help with my Osman/Ossman family please!!
« on: Sunday 17 April 11 23:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,

I found sometime ago that my 4x Great Grandmother Elizabeth Fleming was formerly an Osman/Ossman. On her Death Certificate in 1877 her Daughter Mary McCormick gives Elizabeth's parents names as William Ossman (a Chelsea Pensioner) & Margaret Liddell. I have never heard of this surname Ossman before and am not too sure of it's origins or it's correct spelling. I have tried to find a Birth/Marriage for Elizabeth Ossman with no luck, and also haven't been able to find a marriage or birth for William Ossman. It almost sounds Dutch or or Scandinavian to me!?

Apparently, and according to Elizabeth's Death Certificate and the census' she appears in she was born between 1804 & 1809 in Montford/Montrose..if anyone has better luck than me at finding her birth or any other info on her parents PLEASE let me know! :)

Also, if her father William was a Chelsea Pensioner, does anyone know where i might find info on him?

Many thanks,

Keelan

Argyllshire / Isle of Coll/Tyree
« on: Wednesday 16 March 11 00:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

Just putting a message out there to anyone who may be connected to the same families that I am.

If you are related to the McKenzie family via children of John McKenzie & Elizabeth Sutherland - Margaret, Elizabeth, George, Charlotte, John, Mary, Allan, Donald, Janet or Catherine. This family mainly seemed to reside in Arinagour on Coll. Or if....

...you are connected to the McFadyen's of both Coll & Tyree. Parents are Malcolm McFadyen (Born on Tyree. Son of Hugh McFadyen & Marion or Mary McLean) & Flora McFarlane (born in Kilninnian & Kilmore Dau. of Donald McFarlane & Anabella McLean) and their children are - Angus, Donald, Mary, Lachlan, Neil, Anabella, John & Flora.

Just thought i would put it out there and see if anyone gets back to me!

Thankyou!!

Devon / KITTO - Devonport.
« on: Wednesday 02 February 11 00:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I am looking for any infomation on my 4x Great Grandparents William Kitto & Mary Tink who married 2 August 1799 in East Stonehouse, Devon. I am descended from their Son William who was born 1802 in Devonport, Devon. The only info i have on William & Mary is their date of Marriage and their names. This is a very unclear line in my family tree.

The reason i believe that William & Mary are the parents of my 3x Great Grandfather William Kitto is that one of his sons was a Charles Tink Kitto and on some records William's middle name is given as Tink.

Any help would be brilliant.

Lanarkshire / James C McCormack - Birth lookup 1895
« on: Tuesday 25 January 11 23:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm looking for help finding the birth of my Great Great Uncle James C McCormack. He was the son of Daniel McCormack and his first wife Elizabeth Craney, they married 13 March 1894 in St. Francis Chapel, Glasgow. In the 1901 Census Daniel, Elizabeth and their 2 children James C McCormack 5 & Mary McCormack 2 are living in 518 Rutherglen Road. I have been able to find Mary's Birth on the 7 May 1898 in Rutherglen Road. I have looked for James' Birth around 1895 give of take a couple of years but can't find it. In 1901 his birth place is given as Glasgow, Lanarkshire - Registration District, Hutchesontown & Civil Parish as Glasgow Govan.

If anyone could help me find his birth i might be able to then find out what happened to him as i have no information on himself and his sister Mary. Mother Elizabeth died in 1905 and Daniel then went on to remarry and have 4 more children. (Elizabeth's parents were Joseph Craney & Helen Garland).

Hope someone can help me here!


Thankyou in advance,

Keelan
