Williamson and Hook marriage
« on: Sunday 24 July 11 02:39 BST (UK) »
James Williamson married Elizabeth Hook - both were born and married in Ireland.  They had at least 2 sons - Samuel born abt 1832 and Hugh abt 1835 both in Ireland. Sometime prior to the Scottish Census of 1851 they moved to Merryston, Lanarkshire, Scotland.  By 1861 they appear to have moved to Dunipace in Stirlingshire ( 1861 Scottish Census).  Hugh seems to have died in 1867 and Samuel is shown as reporting his death on death extract. About 1854,Samuel married ( in Monkland, Lanarkshire) a Sarah ( born in Ireland)  - Sarah appears to have had two sons by a previous marriage -Robert and Hugh (they were born in Scotland).  Sarah's maiden name or 1st married name could have been Martin.  There is then a reference to a similar family in the 1880 US census for Smith Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania,USA.

Can anyone help me with the Irish part of this story?

Thanks
