Would any of you good people out there know about this family ?
I believe my gggrandfather was an Archibald O'Neil and his father before him called the same, he was born abt 1834, yet to find a cert of this, conflicting reports say he was born in Ireland and others say Dumfries. He married an Anne Baxter, maybe baptised as Mary Anne Baxter. Still yet to find a cert of this marriage. So far i have discovered 8 children, who knows their could be more.
Anne Baxter was born in Ayr and her father John in Kirkcudbright.
Both families are down as being travelling tinsmiths, tinkers etc, only in 1881 it says that Archibald was " Head of Tnk Fain ", living in Tynron, Dumfries.
Could anyone shed any light on this and is their anyone with a connection to these people ? Are their any web sites or books, where i could get more info please ?
Really hoping for a response
