Mavor

[GMB86]

Hi Oldbear,
Yes as far as i can make out my family on the paternal side came from Strathmiglo in Scotland origionally. My Uncle name is Rosslyn Crawford Bell and as far as i have been told the name Rosslyn comes from The Earl Of Rosslyn somehow. I can only accurately go back as far as my great grandfather who lived in Bangor in Northern Ireland and died in 1926. His name was Francis Bell.
I cant be sure when the first Mavor went to Northern Ireland or Ireland as it was before 1921. i suspect it was around 1850 onwards,
Thanks for getting in touch,

Regards Gerald

Hi,
If it helps at all I have Mavors in the distant past in my family tree - my GG Grandmother Mary Syme married John Mavor in 1893 in Cupar.  Mary had 1 son who was 1 when she married John - & there's nothing to indicate that he is the biological father - so I don't have any direct blood relationship to the Mavor family.

From what I can see Johns parents were George Mavor & Margaret Black who married in 1894 in Kinghorn.

Not sure if that helps to add to your research!

Here's the birth certificate, but I am not quite sure what the mother's surname is.
