Ireland / Stewarts from Ireland
« on: Friday 13 April 07 00:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to trace my wife, Sandra Stewart's family from somewhere in Ireland.

I have no idea whatever, where in Ireland they came from, only their names and some dates.  I know this is a long shot, but maybe somebody may know of them.

Joseph Stewart was a copper worker who was married to Matilda Martin. He was born in Ireland in 1870 and she was born in 1868.  They were married in Ireland, then went to Scotland, again I don't know when.

Joseph's father was also called Joseph. He was a farm laborer and married Elizabeth  McAteer, who may have been born in1834.

Matilda's parents were Jamieson Martin, a shoemaker,  and Martha Getty.

All the information I have gotten is from the death certificates of Joseph (1915) and Matilda (1920) in Glasgow, Scotland.

The 1901 census shows Elizabeth living with her son Joseph in Glasgow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Armagh / Woods or Wood of Armagh
« on: Sunday 18 March 07 01:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,
New to this site.
Have traced a few family members in Scotland and now I'm stumped, as the next generation, back, come from somewhere in Armagh, I believe.
My gr.grandfather Joseph John Woods or Wood (I have docs spelling both ways) was born in Ireland, in Armagh, I'm told, about 1855.  He went to Ayrshire, Scotland some time before 1877, (he was married in Ayrshire then).
His father was William Wood or Woods, a farmer,  who was married to Jane, whose maiden name looks like Troughton. Have no dates or any other information at all.
I don't know if William went to Scotland, but I can't find him on Scotland's People

Is there any web-sites in Ireland that allow you search, find and print your own documents like Scotland's People does?

Any help you good people can give me will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Cannuck
