Does anyone have a Twig in their tree,,,,,,,,,, lurking..............or a marriage with a Twig/Twigg ...or any Twig seen......whilst surfing the internet..........hidden under the bed or tucked in the cupboard
A Sarah Twig would be lovely but anything else would be most gratefully received.

Hiya Steve,
Are you sure you only want one Twig ???
I can offer you Twigs, Hugh, clothes dealer, 25, Rosemary Street, Belfast
Source - 1852 Directory of Belfast and Province of Ulster.
I have a K. Twigg in the 1969 Bangor Directory ... Co. Down. They were not there in 1970/1
Ancestry.com gave me 20 matches for Sarah Twig in their UK and Ireland Collection.
I was unable to look at them. Their cupboard seems to be locked.

The Tyrone Twigg's
we have had contact with this family and I have a tree back to the 1600's as yet ours do not seem to link (positive proof not found yet)
Belfast Twigg's
Have contact with this family and it would seem that Hugh and Dennis were probably cousins
It would seem some are Roman catholic and other Presbyterian.
families went to USA and Canada
Donegore Twigg's
Our Twig's
Think I need more leg work to look through PRONI 's obscure records
forgot these ones

I have a Henry Twigg from Kilrea married a Carolina Fairley from County Down in Glasgow R.C. Cathedral in 1836. They had a daughter Sarah Anne Twigg who married a Patrick Burns in Glasgow in 1869.
Any help?
-
Welcome to the Twig search Baird
unfortunately so far I have no Henry..... :'(
But I have a Michael in Belfast 1760-1800 a cotten thread/muslin merchant with links to Manchester.
I have also found that lots of Twig;s are either, born ,marry ,have children ,then die and the spellings can change each time.
Twig Twigg Twiggs Twigge Quid Quigg Tuig Tuigg to name a few
I have followed many families backwards to find them go from Twig to Quig and back to Twig again ( think it is the Irish pronunciation)
I will keep Henry in mind and let you know post haste if I find him ...do you know of any other family names or his fathers name?
Steve
-
Funny you mention Quigg . When Henry married he gave his name as Quigg but thereafter at Christenings, Births and Deaths the family name was Twigg.
His father was named as HENRY on his death certificate but mother was un named.
Henry and Carolina had 3 children , all born in Glasgow; James (1839), Caroline(1843) and Sarah Ann(1849).
James (1839)married an Ann Skivington and they had two children;Caroline (1872 ) and Ann (1879).
Caroline(1843) married Thomas Burns(from Sligo) in Glasgow in 1866 and they had 11 children as follows;
Patrick Burns (1867)
Caroline Fairley Burns(1868)
John Burns(1870)
Isabella Twig Burns (1871)
Mary Burns(1873)
Thomas Burns(1875)
Joseph Burns (1880)
James Burns (1881) KIA Gallipoli 28th. June 1915.
Henrietta Burns(1882)
Honora (1885)
Henry Leo Burns(1889)
Sarah Ann (1849)married a Patrick Burns in Glasgow in 1869 and they had 4 children;
Caroline(1870)
Patrick(1878)
Edward (1873)
Sarah Ann(1880)
Henry Twigg and Caroline Fairley died within 4 days of each other in Glasgow in February 1873. Henry was 76 and Caroline 65.
Hope this helps,
Baird

update on these Twigg's
Our Joseph remarried Sarah Hunter ,a widow (her father Samuel)after Mary died.
when Joseph died he is a widow,so Sarah has already died.
can not find a Sarah Twigg death......another Sarah Blimey :'(
I have found a sister for our Sarah Twigg snr daughters of Joseph .......a Letitia obviously named after her aunt Letitia married to Hugh
Letitia married John Drummond Magee
can not find any children born to them or their deaths.
and there is no family stories about them
any ideas...or is anyone linked to them please

Hi Steve,
On one of your postings on this topic, I noticed you had a Jane Gilliland who was present at the death of Jane Twig at Garfield Place, Ballamena. Should that have been Ballymena as I am researching my family in that area. Also do you have the date for that event?
thanks, Gillie
-
I have been off line for months so sorry not to answer you sooner
Jane married as a Quigg and died a Twigg
Her daughter married as a Quigg
Thomas Gilliland his father David
Elzabeth her father Henry Quigg
