Angus (Forfarshire) / Re: Hardie, Stewart, Arklay Family 1800's
« on: Wednesday 18 March 09 00:30 GMT (UK)  »
Dear EV,

Thank you for the information you posted. The 1881 Arklay info certainly fits with birth dates. It's the first time I've come across the name Abbot associated with the Arklays so I must investigate that. The scotlandspeople information is a perfect match and mirrors exactly what we have.

It's an interesting thought that Peter Hardie married after Catherine Whyte died. It's not out of the question by any means. Catherine would have been 44 in 1871 when Helen was born. Again, worth investigation.

You've also got it right with the younger Peter Hardie, b. 26 July 1876. He died at Gallipoli and his 'open' war record - a sad tale, can be viewed at National Archives or Australia site - http://www.naa.gov.au/

Thank you so much for your help. I shall repost any findings I come across in the future.

Jeff

Thanks EV,

Apologies, there was a typo in my post. 1851 was meant to reflect the birth of Elizabeth Stewart Arklay. They did indeed marry in 1873, at Elizabeth's home. The certificate shows a Christen Hardie was a witness...possibly Peter Snr's sister??.

Based on information handed down through the family, all the details are correct for what is shown in LDS & ScotlandsPeople. The only conjecture I have included was the possibility of David ARKLAY & Mary HUNTER being the parents of David jnr. Information on hand suggests most of these families were involved in the weaving trade. Information available in the 1841 census backs this up.

Spellings for Hardie, Arklay & Whyte vary is all the documentation we currently hold.

Not sure what you mean by 'proof required before going further'?

Again thanks for your time on IGI. I would love to find some background information on any of the families.

Best regards,
Jeff

Angus (Forfarshire) / Hardie, Stewart, Arklay Family 1800's
« on: Friday 20 February 09 02:55 GMT (UK)  »
I am seeking information about the families of Peter Hardie (1847-1885), married Elizabeth Stewart ARKLAY in 1851. (They went to Australia on board 'Nairnshire' in 1878).

Peter was the son of Peter HARDIE (?-1898) and Catherine WHYTE (1827-1875). They married in Angus in 1849.

Elizabeth was the daughter of David ARKLAY (?-?) and Margaret STEWART (?-?). They married in Angus in 1848. David's parents were possibly David ARKLAY & Mary HUNTER.

I have collected this information from LDS & ScotlandsPeople but am hoping someone may be able to expand on the family background.

Any information appreciated.

I am seeking information about John Butler? McCabe, b. c1848 Kilkenny to John Lachlan? McCabe (1785-1879) & Ellen or Helena Butler (?-1853).

I believe John jnr had a brother Thomas born a couple of years either side of John.

John snr came to Australia, possibly in 1860 on board 'Tudor' along with children, John, Thomas & Bridget.

Any information appreciated,

« on: Wednesday 18 February 09 03:07 GMT (UK)  »
I have found ancestors who came from Twopothouse in County Cork. (The Roche family - 19th & 20th Century). I have seen references to both NEW and OLD Twopothouse.

Can anyone enlighten me on the difference? Any info on the village/town would also be great.

Ireland / KENNEDY John, Dublin early 20th Century
« on: Tuesday 17 February 09 00:41 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to locate information about John Kennedy b. c1880 d. c1960?. At one time John owned pubs in Dublin, one of which was known as 'The Tower'.

John moved to Cork at some point, married Nora Roche b.1884 d. 1957 and had 4 children in the 1920's & 1930's - Thomas, Margaret, Molly & Eugene. Margaret & Eugene went to Australia nd it is believed that Thomas may have gone to the USA.

Any information about any family members would be greatly appreciated.
