Midlothian / Re: William Davidson

Hi,

I am descended from William Davidson's daughter, Margaret, who married John Norval. I did most of my research before it was available on the internet but I couldn't find his death. However, to be honest, back then I would limit my time to 4 hours per record. If I couldn't find the information within this time I would move on to the next person/record.

Regards
George

Yes, this is the Thomas I was referring to. I believe he had 4 sons: John, Richard, Thomas and Henry Two hundred years later 'my' Thomas Dineley had sons named John, Richard and Thomas.

Although not proof of descent, it is possible, e.g. I am named after my grandfather, who was named after his father, who was named after his grandfather, who was named after his father, who was born in the 1750s, more than two hundred years before I was born!

Neil,

Although I don't have any proof, I believe the Manchester Dineleys are descended from Thomas Dineley, born 1624 in Clitheroe! Naming patterns would suggest this and, like you say, it is the strongest likelyhood.

I can only go back to about 1802 with any certainty, when Thomas Dineley (my 3rd G.Grandfather) was born in Manchester. It is likely his parents were Robert Dineley and Elizabeth Bagshaw but I have yet to prove this beyond reasonable doubt!

Thomas Dineley married Alice Crawshaw (about 1823) and had 8 children, as far as I know. I know he later married two other people and died in Buxton in 1874. One of his sons was Edwin Dineley, born about 1824, who came to Edinburgh in 1860/1, married a local lass and settled here.

Hope this helps a little!

Hi Neil,

Belfast/Port Glasgow Dineleys

Josiah Dineley and Ellen Jane Duncan most definitely moved to Scotland in the early 1870s. I am searching another branch of Dineleys, from Manchester, who moved to Scotland in the 1860s, and I keep coming across these Belfast/Port Glasgow Dineleys!

I have researched them (Belfast/Port Glasgow Dineleys), not in great detail but simply to eliminate from my immediate family. There are descendants of Josiah Dineley and Ellen Jane Duncan living in Scotland today.
