Buteshire / Archibald McKillop and Janet McMillan Isle of Arran
« on: Wednesday 17 April 13 21:51 BST (UK)  »
Greetings! I am searching for information about my 4th great grandparents Archibald McKillop and Janet McMillan or MacMillan. They left Arran for Canada in 1829. I am trying to find which village they were from and anything about their families. I do not know when or where they were married.

Regards,

Dumfriesshire / McLean and Thomson Families
« on: Sunday 22 April 12 23:09 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find leads on the McLean and Thomson families. Henrietta McLean married Alexander Thomson in 1866 in Edinburgh. She was the daughter of William McLean and Mary Martin who resided in Penpont. Mary later married Michael Brady after William's death. Some of Henrietta's children were born in Dumfrieshire - Kirkpatrick Durham and Penpont area. The Thomson family left Scotland in 1874 for United States.

Ireland / Shannon/McConnell
« on: Tuesday 21 February 12 16:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hope someone can help with the John and Mary Ann (McConnell) Shannon family. John was born 1796 and Mary in 1808. They married in Donegal - year unknown. First known child Margaret born about 1825. A son's obit states he was born in Londonderry, Londonderry, Ireland. This family immigrated to LeClaire, Scott Co., Iowa in the early 1850's. Mary died there in 1854. I haven't been able to find the family on any ship's manifest. I don't know what port they left from or arrived at or what ship they sailed on. With so little clues I don't know where to search for information on this family in Ireland.

Regards,

Could someone please direct me on how to find more information on the Kelvin District in Glasgow. I did a search but didn't find much information about where it is located in Glasgow. I am looking for cemeteries in the area of the Western Infirmary.

Thank you,

Aberdeenshire / Alexander Fraser Thomson Update
« on: Friday 26 October 07 04:11 BST (UK)  »
For all of you that have helped me in my search for Alexander Fraser Thomson I wish to share with you that I have finally found him. I was sent a certificate from Scotland's People from a member on this list as a possibility and indeed it was him. I couldn't have done it without the encouragement and assistance that I have received on Rootschat. Thank you so very much. I will remain ever so grateful to all of you.

Trying to find information on William McLean born in Dumfries, possibly Penpont in 1849. His father was William McLean and his mother was Mary Martin. His father died about 1849 and his mother remarried to a Michael Brady.  In 1871 his mother was living at Penpont.........

Michael Brady 56  Head, Hawker, Ireland.

Henrietta Thomson 28 Step daughter.....Penpont
William Thomson 7  Step daughters son, penpont.

James Thomson 3                  "               Penpont

Lanarkshire / Western Infirmary in Glasgow 1870's
« on: Thursday 04 October 07 06:27 BST (UK)  »
My ancestor may have died in the Western Infirmary in Glasgow in the late 1870's. If someone died there, where would they most likely be buried? Is there a cemetery nearby? Where was the infirmary located?

Thank you,

« on: Thursday 27 September 07 05:12 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find a birth that took place in 1874 in Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanark and have had no luck finding my ancestor on Scotland's People. :(

What and where was Tradeston? I tried doing a search on it and didn't find much about it.
