Not the same one.
The one I know - the son John is around would be born around 7 years before that so the father David I would have expected about 20 before that.
Best of luck with search & computer.

I have Greenshields in my family.
Annabella Greenshields born in Kirkoswald, 1855-1934 (married Hugh Murray)
Her parents were James Gillies Greenshields born Monkton (1819 - 1902) and Isabella Moffat born in Fewnwick (1825-1897)
Other children were:
Robert, James, Mary, Agnes, Helen, Hugh, David, Elizabeth & Jeanie
I have James Greenshields parents as Michael Greenshields born Belfast (1777-1855) and Mary Gillies born 1786. Michaels parents as Campbell Greenshields and Annie Gibson. I think I read somewhere about Michael coming from Ireland and changing his surname to green shields from something else.
Any info on the Greenshields would be great.

Oh I have more. Some are in Kilmarnock (and riccarton, hurlford etc) too and Kirkoswald.
James Greenshields b.1887 Kilmarnock married Isabella M Murray
James Greenshields b. 1880 Kilamrnock
Not sure if that makes any difference. The oldest Greenshields I have is from 1777 - it may be a different line completely. :(

Hi jcarrz

Hi jgreenshields,
Welcome to Rootschat,mjust to point out jcarrz will not be able to Personal Message you until you have made 3 posts, answering this would be 2.I would think of posting some more info on Michael Greenshields, so others may learn from it, also. That would complete 3 posts and allow users to PM you.

Outstanding Tom - and thank you for the insight! Learning by doing....you can put your foot in it.....
Michael Greenshields. Son of Annie Gibson and John Campbell. Have nae been able to find out any details about them- except that Annie was the wife of a deceased Greenfield. Many variations on Greenshields in that time frame. Somewhat of a scandal here perhaps. Michael grew up in Ireland, emigrated to Scotland, and is recorded as a wine merchant in various records. More to follow when I get home and pull out a few files. Nothing original that can be classed as primary sources...but somewhat reliable.

Hi j,
Do you have a date of birth for Michael, approx?
Tom

Hi Tom!
Pulled the file and we have overlaps with some of the information presented by two others. Their info is definitely unknown to us apart from one parental name - James Gillies Greenshields.
Michael Greenshields. Born approx. 1777 in Belfast. Parental names as previously indicated. Married Elizabeth Dunn ( Jane, John, Mary, Ann) on or about 2 June 1804. 2nd marriage to Mary Gillies (Agnes, Hugh, JAMES GILLIES, Robert, William Mills) on or about 13 October 1811.
More to follow!
