Bob,
Thanks for the info and your suggestion and also the welcome although I have been around now for a year. 


aghadowey,
Thanks for your advice, Unfortunatley any records I have found only say Ireland, none list the county or town. The birth certificate does not give place of marriage for the parents, that would be too easy. And why should genealogy be easy? haha
And thank you for the alternate spellings, I am aware of those and search for all variants.

Thanks to both of you for your time.

Is there any list of the immigration of Irish to Scotland during the famine years (1845-1851) in Scotland?

Were there passenger lists or any records kept by the Scottish government on the Irish entering at that time or even into the late 1850's?

I've looked at so many passenger lists on every site I could find and have found no mention of this.

Thanks for any suggestions

I am very interested in your Gilmartin's from Coatsbridge. I too have Gilmartin's from Ireland to Scotland. Some lived in Coatbridge and in Airdrie, only a few miles apart. Most are buried in St. Joseph's Cemtery on Dykeshead Road in Airdrie and most went to St. Margaret's School/Church in Airdrie.

Here is my Gilmartin line...Let me know what you think.

I have James Gilmartin b:1841 that I have no info on, if he was married, any children or even when he died.

Joe,
On the following post, do you remember the surname? If Gilmartin/Gilmourton not  sure these fit in. Griffin/Griffen would tho.
