Hello all. My surname is Fawcett. And for all the marriages or not as the case may be (!) my family name comes from a chap apparently born in 1829 in Armagh.
The only other information I have is that it seems he came to Dalmellington Ayrshire to work in the Iron works at Waterside. He, and I’m assuming a brother, James Fawcett, show up as lodgers in a house in Dalmellington on the 1851 Census.
He did have a family with a girl in Dalry, Ayrshire. He is mentioned as the Father, but completely disappears from any records I have seen. Thank you for reading.
