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

Cheshire / URMSTON of Chester
« on: Tuesday 22 October 19 18:59 BST (UK)  »
I am researching my paternal grandmother's family. My G Grandather was Ernest John URMSTON (1879-1936) married to Marie Beatrice CHARMLEY (1883-1957). Ernest's family founded Urmston and Son's Bakery in Chester and it was famous for its biscuits. They had 3 daughters:
Beryl Beatrice (1917-2013) my gran; Phyllis Mary (1907-1983) and Lilian Joyce (1915-1995)

I am especially looking into any information about Phyllis (who married James GORDON) and Lilian (who married William ORTON). Phyllis settled in Ruislip, London and ran a sweet shop until her death. Lilian (known as Joyce), supported the military command in Cheshire but I dont have any details of exactly what she did.

I am researching my G Grandfather and his family. His name was William WILLIAMS (1182-1968) and was first married to Susannah JONES (1878-1918) and then he married Sarah Ann WILLIAMS (1888-1965).
From his first marriage he had 4 sons: Gwilym Henry (1905-1969); David Emlyn (1907-1937), Iorwerth Ellis (1911-1972) and Richard Albert (1914-1987). My grandfather is Richard.
I have been able to find a fair amount of information but if anyone has any information on them, I would like to connect to find out more.
I do have details and family tree i can share on ancestry.com
