Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / My Heritage matches
« on: Saturday 22 January 22 15:19 GMT (UK)  »
I posted a few weeks ago that I was waiting on my Dna results from My Heritage. So I'm 71 % Irish Scottish no surprise there.But there was a unbelievable surprise. Lol.

To Explain.Still trying to get my head around it and figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.

I was born in a mining village Croy Nr Cumbernauld.
My dad from Croy  .My mum Kilsyth next to Croy.We are all related somehow .
So my mum born 1916 .
Her best family friend was Annie O'Neil.
Annie married a Bill Lyons in Kilsyth.1947.
My sister and I still visit their son in Kilsyth.
Annie's Oneils sister Mary married Bill's brother Archie Lyons 1945 .Kilsyth.

Mary and Archie emigrated to.Australia .

Now this is the Surprise.
Mary and Archies daughter.granddaughter and her niece and have done their Dna With My Heritage.

So who did I Match with as Second Cousin once removed. 

Yes them.I phoned John in Kilsyth and he is also Shocked.lol.

So  I keep matching with their O'Neil and their great grandmother Ferns.

I've done my tree years ago and pretty good at it but now I'm going around In circles trying to find out how on earth we are related.
I know my grandparents lived Maryhill Glasgow same time as their grandparents or great grandparents. Then Kilsyth. 1910

So one of my grandparents siblings .My Great Aunt or Uncle is their connection. And we share same Great great grandparents.


My grandad  Mclaren from Paisley to Kilsyth 1910 is best bet.Irish .But his wife my gran and her sister were both Illegitimate and born 1877 and 1878 in Anderstone  Glasgow. Salvation Army.
I have a Mclaren Ancestor In New Zealand  my grandads great uncle left Paisley for Nz 1875.He has just done his Y Dna test and it came back he is related to the O'Neil Ireland and Neal of the 9 Hostages.
Sorry long post but any help appreciated 
I'm going to ask my mum's side to do their Dna .Check it's her side of the family related to the O'Neil s Kilsyth.

Skeletons in the Cupboard comes to mind. Lol

Tried to find family of Hellen and John Mclaughlan.It was Agnes mclaren Nevilles daughter who signed her death certificate .So maybe they didnt have family.

Their son James mclaren b 1855 married Elizabeth Gorman in 1874 .Said Father james mclaren was deceased.I have tried loads on scotlands people over the past few years to find him.Both James and Elizabeth address was for Lochwinoch at time of marriage.



Catherine connell Mclaren died 1880 in pollockshaws.Her daughter Hellen Mclaren signed her death certificate.Helen would have been 19 at the time of her  mothers death.

Could anyone help .Either finding them on 1871 cencus or  James Mclarens death.

Ayrshire / Gorman family in Dalry 1861 cencus
« on: Saturday 03 August 13 17:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Ive been researching my family tree for a good number of years and have decided to go back over my Gorman side.

Wondering if anyone can help.My mums gran was Elizabeth Gorman born 1857 in Cadder Lanarkshire.Her father was Samuel Gorman ,mother Susan Proter.both from Ireland.

My problem is that on the 1861 cencus for Dalry  in Ayrshire Elizabeth isn't on it.Her mum susan  father Samuel and brother James Gorman age 2 are on it but she is missing.

She was born 9th January 1857, so she would have been 3 nearly four when the cencus was taken.

Wasted loads on Scotlands people .

The only Elizabeth Gorman I can get is one in Edinburgh age 3 but its not her.

Other Countries / Great grans husband James Hay left her 1868 and went to India
« on: Monday 27 August 12 15:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi

My great gran Jane Moncur married James HAY in Anderston Glasgow 1861.They had 3 boys. He left her a few times .Last time was 1868 when he was a scottish soldier and he left her to go to India.I know he was a soldier as one of his sons died age 10 and has him as soldier on his sons death certificate.

I got this info from my grans birth certificate.She was born 1876.Said that james hay was not the father of this child as he had left his wife 8 years before to go to India.My gran always signed James HAY as her father even though he wasnt.she also had a sister born 2 years later and this info was also on her birth certificate.

When my great gran died James Hay was signed as her husband so dont think they ever divorced.Just wondering if theres anyway i could find out what happened to James Hay as ive always thought of him as my
Ggrandfather .
