Hello,

I have an Isabella Kirtley born c1871, and in the 1881 census for Whitworth (Spennymoor) her place of birth is given as Durham, Black Horse.

Any ideas where that could be?
Thanks

Other Countries / Bone family in Argentina
« on: Monday 15 November 21 18:53 GMT (UK)  »
A great uncle of my wife, according to family knowledge, helped to take cattle from SW Scotland to Argentina.  I suspect this was early 1900's.  The story goes that he stayed there.  His name was George Bone, born 1885.

I have now found couple of names of 2 persons on a passenger list, dated 1951,  that may be related.
Margarita Wallace Bone, born c1919 in Argentina, and a Tomas Bone born c1917.
Margaret Wallace was the mother, and Thomas Bone, was the father of George Bone.

I have no other information at present.

Is there a way of finding out more information, like births etc?

Thanks in advance.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / John Sharpe, born 1895
« on: Wednesday 25 August 21 17:04 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for a distant cousin, John Sharpe, born 14 November 1895, Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.  I have found a John Sharpe with the same date of birth in the 1939 Register.  The address is 74 Whitworth Road, Gosport.  His occupation is given as general labourer, R N A D. 

He is marked down as being married and the line under his details are blacked out, so I assume this is a child.

His brother, Alexander Sharpe, was serving in the Royal Navy.  In 1939, he was residing at 105 Whitworth Road, with his wife and family.
At present I have no other info on John.
Thanks

Kirkcudbrightshire / Mary Moore, born c1802 at Girthon
« on: Thursday 10 December 20 15:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to obtain details of Mary Moore (Muir/Mure) born c1802 at Girthon Parish.  In 1828, she married a James Bailiff (Baileff/Bailiffe/Bailieff) at Gatehouse.  She died between 1851 and 1861, and in 1851 was at Kirkinner.  I cannot find her death to possible get details of parents.

By 1861, her husband and family are at Gatehouse of Fleet.  Their son John Bailiff married an Agnes Henry in 1862 at Gatehouse.  My DNA matches 5 descendants of John and Agnes, but cannot find the common ancestor.  After research, I suspect the link lies with Mary Moore and her ancestors.

Thanks for any help.
