Hi

I am trying to find out more info about my gt gt grandafther's siblings. He was william Robertson who was married to Elizabeth Wylie in 1849 (She had previously been married to a James Watt in 1839 and for some strange reason her marriage cert uses her madien name).

His mother and father were William robertson and Helen (ellen) Barr married in 1803.

If anyone has any info would be grateful. Have searched the usual sources eg Scotland's people but coming up with nothing

Thanks

Just noticed this. Riccartsbar hospital wasn't on Craw road - that was different hospital which was ear Nose and Throat. The main hospital was replaced a number of years ago and rioccartsbar was demolished.

Dyebar is in a different part of Paisley.

Dear Keesa

I'm also looking for Jacksons from same neck of woords. My great great great grandfather William Connolly married an Elizabeth Jackson who i think was born around 1808 in Co Monaghan.

I know they lived in Ematris Parish for a while in 1860s and had at least 2 sons. William who went to Australia and James (my gt gt grandfather ) who came to Glasgow.

I have no further details other than what I have mnanaged to get from Griffiths valuation.

Do you think there might be any link ?

Thanks

Glad to help. I did find a new things but it was really hard slog.

Knowing the parish and towland is a great start and should help you at the place where then non RC records are. It's in the North of Dublin - sorry can't remember address but it's a fair way out of the city centre - and closes at lunchtime! Is across the road from large hopsital. I'll come back to you on the address.

The car park is tiny and has very little parking for visitors (only 3 or 4 spaces). Most stuff is on Microfiche.

The National Library is where all the Catholic records are held and is in the centre of Dublin. When you go in there's a sign points you to genealogy room. It's worth visiting them first and going through with them what you are looking for.

If you want to see records you need to get a readers card and this means having a passport sized pic with you - they make them on the spot. Again most is fiche and again you need to know parish and townland. the folks there are really helpful

Good luck

As well as trying to find out about gt gt gts I am also seeking siblings other than the 2 above.
