Renfrewshire / HAIR and DARROCH of Renfrewshire
« on: Tuesday 22 October 19 21:20 BST (UK) »
am looking into my Scottish ancestors who came from Renfrewshire.
Donal HAIR (1815-1889) born in Argyllshire married Flora Darroch (1818-1869) and settled in Renfrewshire. They had several children who survived more than 5 years:
Donald (1845-1860); James (1847-1861); Margaret (1854-1896); Catherine (1857-1902).
Catherine married Michael MCANN (1856-1910) from Ireland and they ended up in Birkenhead. Michael abandoned her and her 3 children and after Catherine died in a house fire, her children were separated and placed in homes. (Margaret 1886-1965, Felix 1890-1952, James 1892-1968). Catherine had a daughter Flora out of wedlock in 1876 and I believe she died whilst young as she disappears after 1881 census.
In case these match to anyone else's research, woudl love to connect. I have a family tree record on Ancestry.com
