Scotland / Quarriers home's child
« on: Sunday 25 January 09 00:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, not sure anyone can help me. About five years ago I was able to locate where my grandmother and her three sisters came from in Scotland, which was Quarriers. Now all I need to find is my who my grandmother's dad was, which I think is going to be a little bit of a task. Maybe someone out there might recognize the names and maybe even be a relative. Her name was Lily Cunningham born  Jan 18, 1889 time 2:50 Wilson Land Cross C (G)ates Bellshill Reg. Feb 11/1889 #240330-16E Edinburgh. My grandmothers mom was Agnes Cunningham a milkmaid at the time. Agnes had two other children Margaret  who was born 1884, parent may or may not of been a weir or a James Donald who Agnes did take to court to get support for. Then Elizabeth  who was born  in 1887, she to like Lily were born illegitimate. I believe Agnes mom and dad were John and Elizabeth Cunningham. Agnes apparently married a John Weir in 1875, he may of later taken off to Mexico. If anyone knows of who my grandmother's dad might be, or any information that might be helpful to me, I would appreciate it. Also my grandmother and her sister Margaret came across to Canada in 1896 from Quarriers, and it is also my understanding, their sister Elizabeth Cunningham stayed because her dad kept her.
