Ebenezer was prior to 1792 Rector of Queensferry Grammar School. He also translated the Acadamy's Royal Charter into Latin

Does anyone out there know of any MI's relating to the family or have any other snippets of information/additions or corrections?

Sligo / Donlavy family of Castleconor
« on: Monday 29 November 10 20:09 GMT (UK)  »
looking for Donlavy family of Castleconor.  They lived there around the middle of the 18th Century.
Mr & Mrs Donlavy had a child Catherine/Katherine/Kate.  I believe Kate's mother died in childbirth and may be buried in the old Killanley burial ground. Mr Donlavy remarried, inherited some money and became Donlavy-Balfour.

Looking for inspiration please as I am completely stuck

United States of America / Brock brothers of New York
« on: Tuesday 16 December 08 12:17 GMT (UK)  »
 :) Hi I am looking for Percy William Howard Brock b. 15 May 1890, London and his brother Lionel Isbon Brock b 26 feb 1893, Manhattan.

They were sons of Percy Augustus Kortright Brock (my Gt Grandfather) and Annie Mary Sophie Bawden. Annie died 24 May 1897, New York. Percy returned to England leaving his sons behind (they may also be other children). I know that one or both of them did return at some point to England and their father tried to see them, but they refused his request.

I would love to know what happened to them. I could not find them in the 1900 USA census. so maybe they were adopted. Any ideas please

Many thanks
