Hi
I am searching for information about my Fathers family:
GGfather James Taylor Married Rachel Henderson in Myroe Presbyterian Church in the Parish of Tamlaght Finlagen on 08/5/1862.
Grandfather David Taylor Married Elizabeth Hunter in Myroe Presbyterian Church in the Parish of Tamlaght Finlagen on 21/11/1895.
Grandfathers brother Robert James Taylor Married Margaret Simpson in Myroe Presbyterian Church in the Parish of Tamlaght Finlagen on 22/06/1899.
My grandfather David Taylor moved to Glasgow some time between 1895 and 1900. He moved to Govan Glasgow where my father William Taylor was born. David was a shoemaker journeyman and I believe he was born in Drumachose in 1872. I believe some of his brother went to Glasgow but later returned to Londonderry.
I would be very grateful if anyone has any knowledge of the family or of existing relatives.
Your TomC

Aghadowey,
Thanks a lot for that, I think from something my sister said some time back William may have been in Scotland at some time with David. I visited Limavady last year and did manage to get some information, but I would like to think I might have some cousins still in the area. that would be great!!
Thanks again Tom
