PICKERING/PICKERAM and WILSON

[Christopher]

Is anyone else interested in Pickering families from Londonderry? Also Wilson, and possibly Lavender.

Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) lists nine families named Lavender in Ireland. They were located in Counties Antrim. Dublin, Roscommon, Sligo and Wicklow. 

Ah good ... that's better ... back on the Derry board ... I'm sure the Pickering and Wilson families of Co. Londonderry were a bit confused by being moved around like that

A Co. Down thread for the McGauchie family might be an idea.

Christopher- Andrea posted here looking for her James McGauchie from Co. Down, I moved it to County Down and then Andrea replied on this board. If you want to see the County Down thread:

That makes sense ... a thread on each board

Thanks for your help.  I am new to this site so a little at sea.  I have been doing family history research for many years but have only just discovered the Irish connection.  Andrea

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for this latest information on Pickering which you posted in October of 2008.

I just happened to find it by chance.  I thought we were supposed to receive e-mail notification when information was posted in response to our queries but I am not receiving anything.

Thanks again........these are probably related to me in some way.

Cheers,
Foxglove

Thank you, Aghadowey........I always used to receive e-mail notifications and have not done anything differently.....address is still the same.  I will have to figure out where I need to look to see if I still have that option selected.......I know I didn't change it.

Thanks again,
Foxglove

Hello;

I am interested in Pickering/Pickeram and the way we spell our name here in Canada now, Pickrem.   My great-great-great grandfather, James Pickering born  1801 in Aughrim, Magherafelt, Londonderry marreid Sarah Glassey b. 1805 from the same place and married here as well in abt 1826 or 1828.

I believe some of their children were born in Ireland, then they left for Canada where the remainder were born.  Family lore has it that their son, John was born aboard ship enroute to Nova Scotia, Canada abt 1840.

I am very interested in finding out who his parents and siblings were as well as Sarah Glassey's.  Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks;
Susieque
