Renfrewshire / McConnochy/Thomson/Hemphill 1861 Census
« on: Sunday 03 July 05 08:57 BST (UK)  »
John McConnochy and Elizabeth Thomson were married Bridge of Weir 26th Nov 1852 looking for her siblings Neil Thomson who married Sarah Hemphill 1862 Houston and Killellan Kilbarchan and Ann Thomson another sister.
 
All emigrated to New Zealand 1862 and 1864 along with John McConnochy's brother Joseph and other family members. All were Irish born and I do not know when they moved to Scotland. Parents for the Thomson's are Francis Thomson and Ann Black- noted as both deceased on Neil's marrage cert, especially looking 1861 census for Neil, Sarah and Ann.
Any help greatly appreciated
