I apologize for the oversight.  The article is from http://www.limerickcity.ie/CityLibrary/LocalStudies/ObituariesFuneralNoticesfromtheLimerickChroniclenewspaper/B/:

Limerick Chronicle 11th October 1892, captain of steamship 'Mermaid'; accidental drowning at Limerick docks

Limerick / Death of Capt. John Blue

I'm thinking this may be my gg. grandfather but the story has no information about his age or his family. Does anybody here have any additional information about this unfortunate event?

Lanarkshire / Re: BLUE in Glasgow in 1861?
« on: Saturday 13 January 07 00:22 GMT (UK)  »
Could be.  When I saw Colin, I instantly thought of one of Dugald's brothers and then saw the age.  I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

I'm curious about the family where Colin was boarding.  The most plausible theory about John's non-appearance in the 1861 census is that the last name was mistranscribbed.  If Colin was boarding with a family named "lew" or "bue" or something else close it could be a missing piece of the puzzle.

Thank you Joe.  He's a bit old for the family I'm interested in he may be related.  What's the name of the family with which he was boarding?

Hi Thrall,

Do you think that is the same Catherine as the one (b.1860) mentioned on the first page of this topic?

Lanarkshire / BLUE in Glasgow in 1861?
« on: Sunday 05 November 06 23:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

Monica suggested I post a query in this section regarding John Blue and family in Glasgow in 1861.  She suspects the record may have been mis-transcribed.  See this message in the Argyllshire area.  Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Catmac,

I searched this thread and don't see any mention of Anne Blue other than yours.  Can you provide some more information on your Great Grandmother?  Does she have roots in Kilmun?

Also, another BLUE researcher who read this thread suggested an alternate surname search on "McGuirmin" which apparently somewhere prior to 1820 became "Blue".  It's a long shot but probably worth a query.
