Hi Jack,
Sorry for tardy reply, I was away traveling.  So as you have gathered Jen and I have GG(+?) grandparents who were siblings.  Like Jen, I have been trying to verify who their father, James Paterson's parents were, nothing definitive yet.  I too have Andersons from Dundee, paternal GG grandfather David Anderson b 1833, parents Thomas Anderson and Isabella Raitt, siblings Thomas, Smith and Victoria.  David married Jessie Laird and immigrated to the US in late 1860s.  Their daughter Jessie married John Paterson Baxter, son of Robert Baxter and Helen Paterson. Robert's father, George Baxter b 1797 parents were George Baxter and Mary Thomson, from Markinch Fife.  They were married in 1795.  There is also a Barbara Thomson married to James Baxter 1770, a Robert Thomson married Agnes Baxter 1737, Anne Thomson to Alexander Baxter 1761, all Markinch   All records listed on Scotlands People.  Haven't had a chance to research yet.  I too have Davidsons on my maternal side, but from Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland, originally from Scotland but no idea where or when.
Best,
Ellen

Hello,
In trying to find Thomas Patterson born 1800, Kinnell, I quite by chance found these posts.  I had found conflicting marriage records for his parents James Paterson and Jean Cothill, 26 Nov 1796 Carmyllie and 12 Dec 1796 Kinnell. As I thought maybe somehow the places were connected, I googled them
and found the post.  Very exciting for me as Thomas's daughter Helen (Ellen) Nicholson Patterson was my GG paternal grandmother, for whom I am named.
I am still absorbing all the information, but it would be great to connect and I would be happy to share what information I have on Ellen and her family.  She and her husband Robert Baxter immigrated to the US early 1880s.

Apologies if not clear, stated James death as est 1889-1897, as well as places of deaths for all we have records for.

Yes, that is why we are puzzled we can't find his death record.  We found his wife Elizabeth's and sons' Michael and James death records from Civil Registration, all Terrenew, Dungannon.  James was alive in 1888 as he signed son Michael's.

Thank you, but none of these are the James Maginn we are looking for.

Seeking info on James Maginn/McGinn (1818/1822est-1889/1897est) and Elizabeth Gillen (1830/1834est-1898,Terrenew) and their family. They were married 10Nov1853, Killeeshil Parish. Children - Peter (1859-1922, Glasgow, married Ann Casey, Tullyallen, 1889), Michael (1860-l888,Terrenew), James (1863-1881, Terrenew), all baptized Killeeshil. Mary Ann (1867, Drumnashalog -1941, Hamden, CT, USA, married Bill Davidson of Killyharry 1893/4?), Patrick (1872, Killeeshil-?). Last record of Patrick is 1898, Terrenew/Annaghmakeown. Another son, John, believed to be oldest, est. born 1854-58, went to Philadelphia, USA before 1894. Family has also been placed in Killymoyle, 1860 and Cullenamer also.
We, Peter's GGGD and Mary Ann's GGD are searching for any records, extended family, esp. John and Patrick and James and Elizabeth's birth records and parents' names.
Thank you!

Elwyn,
Thank you so much! I too really appreciate you taking the time to research and post.  Am very excited to explore all these new leads.  Your discovery of Francis will help resolve a family mystery.  Mary Ann's 3rd son was David Francis Davidson, my mom thought named for her favorite brother.  Research proved not true and I was thinking uncle, cousin?  Your help now allows me to explore who Francis was.
Thanks again.
Ellen

Hi,
I am Mary Ann Maginn's GGD. Her parents were James Maginn and Elizabeth Gillen/Gillin. Following is based on oral history-She was the youngest, next Peter who went to Scotland to work in family business, then Michael Mitchell died age 12, James, John (eldest), both went to Philadelphia. Mary Ann married William Davidson and came to US early 1890s, settled in Hamden, CT. I have been researching both families w/o much luck, would appreciate any information. Also, sounds as if we are cousins!
