Osbourne Ramelton co Donegal

[reichs]

Not sure if anyone can help
I have been trying to trace the scottish connection to Hugh Osbourne born 1860 who lived the Mall Ramelton. (from 1901 census.)
Have found his father Hugh born approx 1838 and possible grandfather Hugh born approx 1817. They are said to have come from scotland  Also they may have worked on Castle Grove Estate.
How can I find where in Scotland they came from.    Thanks

Hi had a look for some info on this, I see Hugh Osbourne born 1860, Ramelton father Hugh mother Isabel, baptised Ramelton
Presbyterian Church, don't see a marriage record for parents in Donegal

 Hugh Osborne is recorded in the Griffith Valuation in 1857 living in the townland of Eighterross, Aghanushin, dosen't appear to have any land so not a farmer

There were 2 Henry Osbornes recorded in the tithe records for Rameton in 1830.

other siblings for Hugh(born 1860):Robert 1851,  Margaret 1852, Mary 1853,  Catherine 1856, James 1858, George 1862, all baptised Ramelton Presbyterian Church, father Hugh, mother Isabel

As for coming from Scotland, if they were Presbyterian the family could have come across any time since the Plantation in the early 1600's, there was a John Allen Osborne  M.D. recorded in the Ramelton area in the 1860's, he was trained in Scotland:

OSBORNE, John A., Milford, Ramelton, co. Donegal— M.D. Glasg. 1855; L.R.C.S. Edin. and L.M. 1855 ; Med. Off. Kilmacrenan and Mil- ford Di«p. Dist. ; Med. Off. Milford Union Workh. Fev. Hosp. and Constab.

Don't know if that has any relevance

Also notice that the Hugh Osbourne born 1860, went on to have a son, William Andrew, born 1897 who served in the Royal Airforce during WW1 and went on to become a respected Engineer in Canada, becoming VP of a large company

Not sure if any of this helps

 Joe,
Have been looking at this for my brother-inlaw so don't have first hand knowledge of family
I only had one name for the siblings of Hugh, so thanks for those names
At some stage I gleened that Hugh (1838) had been born Scotland  but I cannot find where or what it was on .
Looking now at the dates of Hugh and  Isobels children -first born Robert 1851 - leaves my date for father Hugh wrong. Will have to look again at that. Could be why I'm at a brick wall
I knew of William but didn't know what he did . there was also a brother John Dunlop who went to Canada. I have been contact with his grandson. But they do not have anything about family
thanks again will post if I find any thing more.

Thanks again Joe
I appear to have made a mistake!!   
My 1838 Hugh is totally wrong
and 1817 Hugh  is more likely the father of 1860 Hugh. ( Too many Hughs)
I have found marriage in Tarbolton, Ayr, Scotland for Hugh Osbourn and Isobel Andrew 26 Jan 1849.
The mother's first name would be right and their first child was born 1851 so  date looks good.
and according to the family they came from around Ayr in Scotland.

Thanks rathmore
I looked at that marriage of William to Isabella before..
Can Hugh be another name for William.
The date Jan 1851 would tie in Ok.
Hugh and Isobel's first child born 1851.
