Hi

My family (Lorimer family) owned a farm called Balnamoon in Grange, Banff up until just before 1900s.  I just wondered if anyone knew whether it was still there?

Thanks for your help 

Hi Paul

I have ordered a copy on Friday, i can scan it and email you a copy when i receive it.  It would save you buying it too

Hi Ann

I have just started researching my family tree and I am a Corbett from Scotland and my family originated from Ballybay Co.Monaghan.  I think it is the same family as Paul's post below.  My great great grandfather Thomas Corbett c1864 married Anne (Annie) Jane Ross c1864 in Ballybay County Monaghan in 1892.  The stayed in Corrabofin, Ballybay and had several children,  William Corbett, Thomas Corbett, Samuel Corbett, Lizzie Martha Corbett and Ellen Jane Corbett.  I know two of the children (Thomas and William) moved to Scotland where they brought up their familys.


I have found them on the Irish 1911 census, where you can view the original docs:

I have also found Corbett's from Co.Monaghan on:

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

A marriage cert can be ordered from the GRO (www.groireland.ie) with the details on pilot search, which would show residences, fathers names occupations etc


I think it is possibly the same family?  I am going to order Thomas and  Ann Janes wedding certificate so that should show me further info on who their parents were etc.  I will let you know when i receive them and if i can get any further information 

I am really interested in finding out more about my Irish ancestors.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help me as I have come to a total standstill with my Irish ancestors  .  The furthest back i can get is the Irish 1911 census.

The details I have found out so far is:

My great great Grandad, Thomas Corbett c1864 married Anne (Annie) Jane Ross c1864 in Ballybay County Monaghan in 1892.  The stayed in Corrabofin, Ballybay and had several children,  William Corbett, Thomas Corbett, Samuel Corbett, Lizzie Martha Corbett and Ellen Jane Corbett.

Two of the children William (my great grandad) and Thomas moved to Scotland and had a family. Which i have managed to trace.

I just can't seem to get any further info on my Irish ancestors.

If anyone could help or advise me that would be great as i am just new to this.

Thanks
