Hi all,
this is a difficult one I know but fingers crossed maybe someone can help me please, my g-g-grandfather and his wife I have been told may have been married in Leitrim, the area is not known, they were Peter McTiernan and Ann McNiff, their son Peter my g-grandfather may also have been born there.
They are known to have moved to Strathaven in Lanrkshire Scotland and worked on the farms. My g-grandfather Peter died in Winchburgh West Lothian in Scotland aged 77 years so he was born around 1855, I would asume that his parents were married just before that, I have no idea if there were any other siblings.
I have also been told that they moved to a place called Stonehouse, from there I asume my g-grandfather moved to Midlothian Edinburgh as he was on the Census with his family, he married Bridgit Owens who was from Irish descendants but she was born in Edinburgh City.
I have tried Scotland People to find my g-g-grandparents but with no success. I have also tried to search on the same site for my G-Grandfather's birth again with no success, this then leads me to believe they all came from Ireland, I am hoping that it was Leitrim.
Any help in this difficult request would be gratefully accepted.
Best regards.
Archie.
