Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Witherow families, Aughlish, Gallony, Belfast and elsewhere

Also looking for any further information on a Thomas Wodrow, son of Robert Wodrow (Eaglesham, Glasgow) brother of Rev James Wodrow, who moved to Ireland and changed his name to WITHEROW. Found some information that says he moved to Ireland and changed his name to get away from some "political trouble" and that he had 3 sons that settled in Donegal, Derry and Antrim???

Thanks Witherow for your reply..I would be interested in some information..I already have most of the younger descendants but it would be.nice to fill in some gaps. I couldn't find Alexanders wife's name so that's one gap filled already...:-)
One thing I'm really interested in is where have all these Witherow families gone? Like you mentioned there were a lot of interconnected families at one stage but now there are only a few In this area

Ill be in touch

I was wondering if anyone could help me connect the Witherow families in Alla, Claudy with the Aughlish and Gallony families. or even with the Witherows in Co Donegal.. Im sure they must all be connected.
I have a Hugh Witherow B. 1826 D. 1915 married to Mary Jane Johnston D. bef 1901. I believe Hughs father was Alexander Witherow but I have no further information on him.

According to the 1831 census there looks to be 2 Witherow families in the Alla, Claudy area at that time but I have no information on them

Witherow   Witherow   Alexander   Tirkeeran   Cumber Upper      Alla Upper
Witherow   Witherow   David   Tirkeeran   Cumber Upper      Alla Upper


Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the quick response

Yeah they have...trying to separate the different families out is the problem ;o)

Just another quick question someone may be able to help with, the 1766 census lists Hans Witherow... I have come across this person before...would Hans be short for/nick-name for James? I wouldn't have thought that this was a typical scots/irish name?

Thanks
