Ireland / "Tyrownomight"
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 22:43 BST (UK)  »
My maternal 3rd great grandfather, James Law, was born about 1830 in the "County of Tyrownomight", Ireland, before moving to Scotland.

I'm unsure where "Tyrownomight" is and I've come to a bit of dead end with my Irish ancestors.

James' father, Daniel Law, was a "Recruiting Sergeant" for the "42nd Regiment" and I'm not too sure how to progress this either.

Any help?

Thanks,

Adam

The information I've found so far indicates that my GGG Grandfather was John Bow (5 Mar 1835 - 8 Feb 1917), who married Agnes Millar (23 Nov 1834 - 6 Apr 1913).

There's a long line of John Bow's from Kilsyth which ended with my Great-Grandfather who was named John Bow White. At the moment I've traced the Bow's back to 1713 in Stirlingshire.

Working up the chain after my GGG Grandfather (b1835), his father was John Bow (1805-1881), his father was John Bow (b1783), his father was John Bow (1757-1793), and his father again was John bow (1713-1758).

That's as far back as I've gotten so far but I'm not finished yet.

Stirlingshire / Re: Ure Family St Ninians

Hi there,

Not sure if this is a connection or not but I hope it helps.

My GGG Grandmother was called Elizabeth Marshall (b1823). Her sister was Barbara Marshall (b1835) who married Robert Reid (b1833), who's mother was Margaret Ure (b1806(est) in Polmont, Stirlingshire).

On the 1841 Census Margaret Ure was married to William Reid and living at Crosshall, Polmont, Stirlingshire with 5 of their children.

Any more info, just ask.

Hi,

I've only just found this site while googling John Bow (1835), Kilsyth.

John is my direct Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather.

My name is Adam Smith (1835). My father is Alexander Smith (1949) and my Grandmother was Kathleen White (1922). Her father was John Bow White (1897) and his mother in turn was Mary Bow (1868). Her father was John Bow (1835). Hope all that makes sense.

I've been looking into my family tree for just a couple of months now and it all gets rather confusing at a point but I've used all the UK census information as well as the Scotland Records office registry database so I'm confident it's all correct.

I currently stay in Cumbernauld which is only 5 minutes away from Kilsyth, the hotbed of Bow activity. My next step will be probably to visit the County records office at Kilsyth Library as well as Kilsyth Parish Church and cemetery.

Happy to share information.

Adam
