Hi Big Ian,

Sounds as if you fit into my family tree somewhere. Hugh Fulton (married to Mary McNeil) was my ggg grandfather. I could send you an Excel file containing as much as I know of the details of this family tree. Would you be able to open that ok and let me know exactly where you fit into the tree? Do you want me to do that? I can send it as a personal message.

Hello Tom,

Thanks for responding.

I have come across the details for James Fulton and Elizabeth Pattison in my searches. I have speculated that this James's father, also James as you indicated, could be the brother of my ggg grandfather Hugh Fulton. (See my reply to Donn Cairns.) The fact that you say his wife's maiden name was McNeil is coincidental since Hugh's wife was Mary McNeil. Perhaps they were sisters. We also have them all living in Ewing St in Kilbarchan at the same time.. If in fact they were brothers then I am related to your wife. However, we don't have any solid proof yet. I have an excel file with all my information on the Fultons from this period down to my mother, who died in 1995. If you would like to see it I could send it to you via a personal message. (I have not done this yet in rootschat but I suppose it must be fairly easy.)

Hi Donn,

Thanks for your interest.

The Mary Fulton that you mentioned as being the mother of Mary McKenna who married John Cairns in 1877 would have to have been born around 1825 - 1835 I reckon. However, I know of a Mary Fulton who was born in Kilbarchan around 1839/40 - just possibly Mary McKenna's mother if they both married quite young. Her parents were James Fulton and Elizabeth Pattison. James was born in Ireland around 1811. This family lived in Ewing St in Kilbarchan at the 1841 census. Also living in Ewing St was my ggg grandfather Hugh Fulton, born in Ireland around 1790, and his wife Mary McNeil and young family. I have often wondered if he and James were related (perhaps uncle and nephew) simply because they lived in the same street, but I have nothing that proves it. If they were related and this Mary Fulton was Mary McKenna's mother, then you and I are related. Too many "ifs" though.

Take care,

Allan

Renfrewshire / Fultons in Kilbarchan
« on: Thursday 17 March 11 21:22 GMT (UK)  »
In researching my mother's ancestors (surname FULTON) I have traced them back via my grandfather (James Fulton born in Johnstone), my g grandfather (William, also born in Johnstone), my gg grandfather (Joseph, born in Kilbarchan), to my ggg grandfather, (Hugh Fulton born in Ireland around 1790). This work has revealed a number of Fultons moving from Ireland around the same time to Kilbarchan to work in the village as hand loom weavers. I suspect that many of them were related but I have no solid evidence of this yet.

Is there anyone else out there who has an interest in this and would like to offer information and see what I have got with a view to trying to link up some of these Irish Fultons?

Hoping for a contact.

Hi Ann,

I am a brand new member - not even sure if I am doing this right.  Anyway, your name has come up with respect to the FULTON surname and you seem to have links with the Johnstone area. Do you have any links to Fultons who lived in Johnstone and came originally from Kilbarchan and before that from Ireland?

My maternal grandfather was James Fulton and he was born in Johnstone and lived in the Thorn area. His father was William, also born in Johnstone. His father was Joseph, born in Kilbarchan in 1826, and he was the son of Hugh Fulton, born in Ireland around 1790.

I have information on several more Fultons who came from Ireland but I can't link them although I have strong suspicions that some are related. This is what I'd like to pursue.

If you have any interest in this or can help me in any way, please let me know.

Thanks,

AllanWD
