Cumberland / Re: William Laird Maryport Cumberland
« on: Saturday 22 December 12 16:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Virginia,

As you probably know by now, my mother was a Laird and her grandfather was called Thomas Laird. Thomas was born in Harrington, Cumberland and was the 5th of seven children. His brothers, Robert and William(Maryport side of the family) were born in county antrim in Ireland as were his sisters Margaret and Ann. When the Laird family moved from Ireland to cumberland(Harrington) in 1873 Thomas, John and Emily were added to the family.
I have a copy of the marriage details of Ellen Jane Mc Clurg and Thomas Laird(father to the Thomas Laird born in cumberland in 1874) and I notice from reading my previous posts that there is a typing error for the date of this marriage. It took place at the Crumlin Non Subscribing Presbyterian Church in the parish of camlin, county antrim on Nov 12th 1858 and not 1958 which I had previously posted on rootschat.
Marilyn and I swapped our personal e-mail details but I cannot remember how this was done as rootschat have a strict privacy policy, so maybe she can help you with this. I would be happy for you to contact me directly as I have now completed a comprehensive Laird family tree for my mum.

Do you live in Cumbria still?

happy Christmas

Clive

Hello again Marilyn,

I can send you the Laird family tree if you like and a document with the details of Thomas and Ellen Jane McClurgs marriage in Camlin, Ireland. My mum also has some photos which may interest you.
We went to Maryport recently to take a photo of William Lairds greengrocers shop but it has been refurbished and the sign has gone. She would very much appreciate a copy of the one you have if that's possible, as my mum used to visit her relatives there regularly. Especially when her grandmother went to live with William and Sarah Laird following the death of her husband Thomas.
My personal e-mail address is (*)
If you could send me your e-mail contact address I will send you more information.
Do you any contact details of the other people who posted on roots chat such as angi0 or sanditon?
I couldn't work out how to send a personal reply on rootschat so I have had to post this message which I hope reaches you.

Do you still live in the area of Maryport, as my mum lives in Cleator Moor.

best wishes,

Clive

Cumberland / Re: William Laird Maryport Cumberland

you posted on rootschat.com a while ago about William Laird and his family from Maryport Cumberland. My Mother was born into the Laird family as Margaret Laird and lived in Harrington, Cumberland as a child.
 
Her grandfather was called Thomas Laird and his brother William, is the William to whom you refer. We know that Margaret, Robert, William and Ann Laird were born in the parish of Camlin(County Antrim), Ireland and moved to Harrington in 1871. Thomas (my mums grandfather) was then born in Harrington in 1874.
 
EllenJane McClurg and Thomas Laird(my mums grandfathers dad with the same name Thomas) were married in the non conformist Presbyterian church in the parish of Camlin(County Antrim) on November 12, 1958 and I have the documentation.
 
However, my mother who is now in her 80's would dearly love to have as much information about her family history as possible, especially pre uk history.
 
If you help us in our research in any way we would be very grateful indeed.
 
best wishes,
 
Clive.
