Thanks again!! That's given me more clues...also trying to find my grandfather's family. They are Burnetts from Middlebie, Annan etc. I could find a bit more about them, but because of the Irish connection it's cold. Also no-one left to ask!!

Hi , I'm trying to find details of my grandfather John Nathaniel Burnett. He came to Lanarkshire, and married my gran, Eliz Beresford and lived and died in Glenmavis outside Airdrie. I think one of his relations was housekeeper at Middlebie Manse

yes
Monica, that's my family alright...I signed up at ancestry so got back to John Beresford being born in Ireland. but nothing else.
Just found it odd that none of the irish ones were ever mentioned but it might just be a 'village' thing.

Monica, thanks...those are the correct Beresfords, but as far as i know there were 2 lots in Glenmavis, where i came from. There was a John Beresford who was a pipe major, who had a son of the same name. They were my mum's cousins.
My gran married a John Nathaniel Burnett.
She had quite a few brothers and sisters..Helen Jane (ka Nell), John, Daniel, Bella (probably Isabella), Samuel, Jessie Bell Watson.
My gran always stayed in Glenmavis as did my mum until she died.
Trouble is Biblical names were very popular so different branches of the same family used them.
I don't much paperwork...the things I had were stolen a long time ago.
Funny thing is that they never spoke about Irish side!!

Hi,

All I know is that my great grandfather Samuel came from Ireland as a baby. Born around 1860.His parents were John Beresford, born 1827 and mother Helen Jane Beresford nee Gemmell born 1830, both born in ireland. My parents and other older relations are now dead so can't tell me anything. i've just been digging around. My mother used to tell me that brothers came over, and think his name was William. They settled in a village called Glenmavis, by Airdrie, Lanarkshire Scotland.

does any of this ring a bell with anyone?
