Dunbartonshire / Re: Dunbartonshire MI pre 1855
« on: Thursday 04 November 10 16:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I'm sorry to bother you with my problems because I'm sure you have hundreds of your own.
I have my ancestor in the 1841 census with my gt gt grandfather living in James Street, Row Dunbartonshire.
His wife Sarah I'm sure is RC because I found the children including my gt grandfather living with the Finnigan family b. Ireland in the 1951 census Renfrewshire and in England later Alexander b 1846 married in a RC church.
There's a family rumour that Alexander MacMillan and his wife born in Ireland died in a train accident. The children  Frances, Ann and Alexander were turned out of their home and walked to England. Alexander left Scotland after the 1861 census and turned up in the 1971 census in England living with his older sister Annie.
Was there a train accident? Where did Alexander and hid wife Sarah go to between Alexander's birth 1846/7 and 1851?

Armagh / Re: Carson of Newtownhamilton/Newry

Thank you 'Preston',

I apologise for this great pause in communication but I have been abroad for a while and my genealogy details were in England.

I have seen the flax growers list for Armagh 1796 but until I get some connection back from John or James (both carpenters) to another name, I'm stuck.

I must visit the area and look at the Newry 1901 census page by page and try to find the deaths of Richard and Elizabeth.

Thanks Carol for offering to help but I've rather given up with this couple. I have found some Shirvals but I need to pay for certificates to verify them. They were an attempt to track down family member origins. I have this problem with a number of my family tree ancestors!

Sorry for the delay in replying David. I'm at a loss as how to proceed now as I've checked a much as I can check.
I hope there is a connection.

Katherine,
If you come across any glassblowers in your look-ups, I would appreciate knowing so that I can search that area parish records.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Sussex Marriage Index Lookup please
« on: Saturday 27 August 05 12:09 BST (UK)  »
My Poate/Poat/Pote and Whittington/Whitington families come from Upwaltham in the Westhampnett district.
I have used the familysearch.org IGI with (unusually for my researches) excellent results  and found -
Jesse Whittington b Chilgrove c1767 &
Sarah (nee Spooner) "  b unknown(but Kirdford 1776) c1771 in the 1851 census in Eastdean

They married 1794 in Kirdford and her father was Henry Spooner mother Eliz'th. Is there a Henry Spooner marriage recorded in the area?
There was another Jesse Whitington marriage to Anne - have you dates of that marriage possibly in Petworth?

I'm trying to sort out who was who so any help would be gratefully received. Jill
