Hi Blackridge

Apols, have had a break from family history for a while.

I believe Martha & Hugh had 12 children - who are you descended from?

Would be good to know if have any more info on the Monteith's.

Monty.

Do you subscribe to A******y?

Several people have got this particular family included in their family trees. They also include extra info re marriages / births pre 1840's registration.

Hi

Yes, they are all on the 1841 census - Ashton in Mackersfield, Wigan.

On the A******y website the surname was initially transcribed as Simon not Simm but has since been amended.

John is a labourer. Francis, Wilmot & Mary Ann are all drawers in a coalpit.

They were all born within the county - Lancashire. The 1841 census does not give addresses.


The majority of the family are still together in 1851 living at Edge Green Lane in Mackersfield Wigan. they all shown as being born in Mackersfield.
Occupants = John (labourer highway), Hannah, Francis (coal miner), Margaret (works in cotton mill), Mary Ann (weaver silk), Jane (works in cotton mill), Amelia (general sew?), John (aged 9), William (aged 5)

Have you seen these websites? Looks as though he had a twin brother who was also an olympiad.

That's a real shame. Not living in Ireland will be a major stumbling block.

Kingskerswell - yes that is the date I've got for the marriage so looks like different variations of the surname.

Aghadowey - how can I find their baptism records if I don't know where they were baptised?

Are there any particular websites / memberships that you would recommend for irish records prior to 1840?

Tyrone / Monteith / Kane brick wall
« on: Tuesday 17 July 12 15:17 BST (UK)  »
Help - I've hit a brick wall.

Who were James Monteith (1846 - 1926) and his wife Martha Kane (1853 - 1893) descended from?

James was born in Lislaird, Tyrone. He possibly had a brother Robert and their parents were called Robert and Jane. However, I have nothing definitive so would prefer confirmation if this is correct + any other info available.

Martha (Matty) - I know she married James in 1872 @ Castlederg but don't have confirmation of where she was born / died. Her father was possibly called William (but guessing based on land records).

I believe they were protestants.

All clues gratefully received.
