Hi Alison
Not sure if you are still working on this as I see you haven't posted since 2014 but I have quite a bit of information and a few photographs of the Witherow & Wray Families including details of John Thomas' and William Hunter's sister Margarets work in WW1 if you PM me I might be able to help you out.

Hello there Belfast Henry

Welcome to Rootschat, this thread is definitely still alive and I have extensive information on quite a few of the Rev Thomas Witherows son and daughters and indeed am in contact with quite a few of their living descendants in various parts of the world. The Craig line is the one that I have the least information on as I have just started a short while on that one, but I can take the Witherow line backwards and sideways quite a bit for you. You will need to post another two posts on Rootschat to enable me to personal message you my e-mail address and then we can get cracking by e-mail or if you are resident in Northern Ireland we could even meet up somewhere. It may be next week before I can get going for you as I'm off to Scotland this weekend (leaving Friday and back on Sunday) Prepare to meet some interesting characters and information, it's a very interesting tree.

regards

Witherow

Hello there lk134 green

welcome to rootschat.

I was aware of your Grandfather, Leslie Steven Knox and that he had married an Ann Elizabeth but did not know her surname. Leslie Steven's father was the Rev. Hugh Montgomery Knox a Presbyterian minister who's church was in Ballymote, County Sligo. Ireland. My line of research has been mainly on the family of the Rev. Knox's wifes family. I know nothing about the Knox family prior to the Rev. Knox.
Rev. Knox and his wife Isabella Witherow had 7 children.
William Herbert Knox
Kathleen Witherow Knox
Thomas Witherow Knox
Hugh Watt Knox
Janet Margaret Knox
Leslie Steven Knox
Jocelyn George Milling Knox.
I can take you back a further 4 generations from Isabella Witherow.

feel free to personal message me for any further information you want. It may be a day or two before I get a chance to get the information for you as I'm a bit busy workwise at the moment.

I can perhaps help you a little bit anyway. Your Hugh Witherow appears on the 1901 census of Ireland but the name was wrongly transcribed as Witheron and so you would have to search for that. I had his wife as Mary Jane but didn't know her surname until I saw your post. Hugh's Father was Alexander and his mother was Mary, again I'm sorry but I dont know her maiden surname.
Like you I firmly believe that all these Witherow families are linked and I have around 15 Witherow trees that I am slowly getting linked together. I have quite a lot of information on the younger descendants of your Hugh Witherows tree and would be happy to assist you in any way I can. Feel free to personal message me an e-mail address if you feel It would be easier. I'm away all day tomorrow so it might be Sunday or Monday before I can get back to you.

Regards
Witherow

Hello there TurfBurner

Welcome to Rootschat

I'm delighted to hear from you, As you can see from this thread I have been tracing the descendants of various branches of the surname of Witherow for a good many years.
The Rev. Hugh Montgomery Knox was married to Isabella Witherow, one of the daughters of the Rev. Thomas Witherow DD:LLD I have it that they had seven of a family Kathleen Witherow Knox, Janet Margaret Knox, W.H. Knox (sorry I only have initials for him), Thomas Witherow Knox, Leslie Steven Knox, Hugh Watt Knox and Jocelyn George Milling Knox.

On this branch of the Witherow tree I can take you back to 1759 and would be delighted to assist you in any way I can but as there are 172 people on this branch of your tree it would take a serious amount of typing to get it all on rootschat. Also we do not post details of living relatives on here but I can tell you that I have contact with some of your distant cousins in various parts of the world. Once you have posted three items to Rootschat I can personal message you to get an e-mail address for you and it will be easier to communicate more information to you.

What part of the world do you live in yourself are you still resident in Ireland or have your family moved farther afield?

Hope to hear from you soon,

Regards

Witherow

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: David Williams - Captain of ship "Provincialist"
« on: Sunday 20 November 11 19:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there,

The ship Provincialist was built in 1839 she was 880 tons and was built in Canada the builder being Edw. Wilson Chamcook N.B.
she was operated out of the port of Londonderry by the Mc Corkell line.

Here's a link to their website http://www.mccorkellline.com/

If you go to their website and click on ships you will get the above information, if you click on links you will find that most of their records are with the public record office of Northern Ireland their link is http://www.proni.gov.uk/ many of their records are searchable in their e-catalogue

Hope this is of some help

Happy hunting

Hello there Elphie Bey. Welcome to Rootschat, I must apologise for not getting back to you sooner but I have been  a bit on the busy side recently and had a family bereavement so I'm afraid the old genealogy had to take a back seat for a while. I'll personal message you with some details.

Hello there rwithrow, welcome to Rootschat.
Whilst I have been researching mainly the Witherows in county Derry and have not yet come across a Robert or Jennet there are many Witherows also in the county of Donegal, Donegal is also in the province of Ulster and I feel that they are also related to my tribe. My lot are related to the Wodrows of Eaglesham near Glasgow. Including Wodrow the historian (see Scotlands people) I don't know if this is much help to you but I'll keep you in mind as my research with the Donegal Witherows and Scottish Wodrows goes on.
