Argyllshire / Re: pauper burials Southend Argyll
« on: Sunday 03 January 16 19:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there - we've probably been in touch before but I haven't done much on this line in years as Thomas Conner's Irish birthplace was one of my brick walls!  Just wondered if you'd found out any more on this?  I had always thought it would have been somewhere on the north coast of Ireland due to the proximity to Southend and the Ballycastle ferry.  Did you find out more about the medal?Thomas was my gt-gt-gt grandfather through his son Charles Conner; his son Alexander Conner and his daughter Jean Conner (my grandmother).

Thanks Ann - it's certainly in the right area (east end) - all the other dwellings in the street are just mentioned by number - it's just these 2 entries that have the Galomure (?) entry

Any help with reading the street names on this extract would be much appreciated.
Moore Street? (which existed near the Glasgow Slaughterhouse in 1841). Cannot work out the word below.
Ref number on page is 644/01 070 01 011

Thanks!

Hi there - my great grandfather William Henry Moore is buried in Christchurch Drumachose Limavaday - bizarrely enough was my brick wall until I googled his name one day and came across this site

Photos of his grave stone on the final page of the article.
My grandmother was his daughter Annie Moore.

Thanks to Aislin for the message and tree.  It's definitely the same family. My husband's great grandparents were Charles Thom and Jean Sievewright from Forfar.

Hi there - I'm trying to find out more about David Low Thom mentioned on this headstone.  I believe that he may be related to my husband. My husband's grandmother was Mary Ann Thom born Forfar 1866 to Charles Thom and Jane Sievewright - are these the parent names mentioned on James Thom's death certificate?
