DAVID STORMONT and ANN ROBERTSON from Scotland moved to Co. Wicklow circa 1864, they had several children born in Perthshire, but most had died in childhood before the family came to Ireland
The following children were born in Co Wicklow -
David Tindal Stormont 1864 either Rathdrum or Annamoe
Jessie Beattie Stormont 1866 Annamoe
Barbara Stormont 1868 Annamoe
Helen Roger Stormont 1870 Annamoe
the family were back in Scotland by 1871
David and Ann had a daughter born in Perthshire in 1862 also named Jessie Beattie, but she had obviously died before her younger sister Jessie was born in Annamoe in 1866. I have been unable to find a death for this child in Scotland so think she might have died in Ireland between 1864 and 1866. Is there anyway I could find this on any Irish records?
Jessie Beattie married an Irish lad Patrick Phillip Starrs born c1859 (I don't know what part of Ireland he hailed from) He was an exciseman with the Inland Revenue and they married in Broughty Ferry Dundee Scotland in 1886, moved to Dunmow Essex England where their 2 children Patrick and Norah were born but they moved back to Scotland before 1901. Patrick jnr was a chief engineer with the Merchant Navy and was killed aboard the SS Kingsland in January 1946. Norah became a teacher but never married and died an old lady in Dundee in 1987.
It would be interesting to find out why the Stormont family moved to Ireland for such a short time, I have no idea what David did for a living in his earlier days, but back in Dundee he became a game dealer and potato merchant!
