The Common Room / Re: Coming across Catholic marriages...
« on: Saturday 06 November 21 17:02 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for this info Maiden Stone. I hadn’t thought about England being considered a mission area for Catholics priests. You conjure up quite a picture of lone priests rambling around on horseback, looking for a flock and any suitable place to worship. I agree in the 1800s, some of R/C faith would have married C/E. I suppose it was easier and probably less expensive too, not having to employ a registrar to record their wedding, making a marriage legal.

Hi Duncan.
You are coming down the same line then. I have evidence JH and Alison Millar were a couple but I will need to email you that info. I have just sent you a personal message, with my email address.

Hi there,
Good to hear from you. Sadly, I have made no further progress on John Haig and Alison Millar. Which child links you to this couple?

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Billington Family Nantwich COMPLETED
« on: Friday 24 August 12 20:12 BST (UK)  »
Hugh Billington is my 5 G Grandfather too. His son Thomas married Hannah Hilditch, is my 4G Grandfather.  Hugh has been my brick wall for many years now. I have not been able to push this line any further back, with confidence. I have seen other trees with the names Thomas Billington and Hannah Walker as Hugh's parents....But is there any real concrete evidence, to support this thought? I haven't found any, as yet.

I note you have been Chester to do some family research. Did you look at Wills while you were there?

You certainly have to be very careful with ready made trees and check everything out for yourself. They can help give clues though and perhaps give you bones of a tree to follow up. I will try to refind the tree for you again, later this evening.

Stirlingshire / Re: Look up needed for a James Thomson a wright in Denny Sterlingshire

Hi Lenagh,
Many thanks for your reply and this link. It is a new site for me. I couldn't find anything in terms of my James Thomson and Jane Mathie from Denny... But it does give access to other cemetaries around Scotland. All in all, an important link, for those of us hunting graves of our Scottish ancestors.

I think you need to give a little more info. It might help in the search. When were John and Annie born? Just found your family in the 1891 John Glen snr was not present. Annie and the kids were with her Stewart parents. Where was your John Glen snr at that time? What did he do by way of occupation? Did his work take him away from home often?
