Edited to include Eastwood. I would be grateful if anyone knows anything about Shaws Parish, Eastwood and what records they hold for that period. Many thanks.

Hello, thank you for that.  It's really good of you to go to all that trouble.

It's taken me a long time, but I'm really lucky to find out whereabouts he came from in Ireland and to have his parents names too.

I was wondering why he left Ireland, obviously I'll never know for certain, I think it was too early for the Potato famine. However, I noticed on Wikipedia it said:

"On 12 July 1830, Orange Institution parades led to confrontations between Orangemen and Ribbonmen in Maghera and Castledawson. Several Catholic homes were then burnt by Protestants following these clashes"

I wonder whether a lot of catholic families left because of this? He may have left before this but it's something to think about.

Again, many thanks for your post :)

Renfrewshire / Margaret McCormick from Shaws Parish, Eastwood Renfrewshire,
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 09:35 BST (UK)  »
Found a marriage for my ancestor Margaret McCormick from Shaws Parish,Eastwood,  Renfrewshire where she married someone with the surname McNally/McAnally. I found a marriage in a catholic church in Glasgow in 1835. I presume she died before the 1851 census as her husband was remarried in 1851. Her youngest son was born in October 1842.

I'm looking for any help regarding her early life in Shaws Parish or any details about her family. The witnesses at her wedding were Peter and Anne McCormick however I don't know how they were related.

Thank you for your reply :)

I did spot that site the other day but hadn't realised that they were the only records. I was hoping someone may have come along and said that they had started earlier (or another church) but hadn't been transcribed yet, then I may have had some hope for the future.

Thank you for the time you have taken to check for me. You've been really kind :)

Derry (Londonderry) / McNally family from Maghera, Derry
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 07:47 BST (UK)  »
I finally know where my McNally ancestor came from in Ireland - his Scottish marriage says it's Maghera, Derry. I was wondering what else I can find out about him and his family in Ireland.

He was born about 1808-1811 (not sure exactly). His parents were Francis McNally and Martha. David appears to be Catholic. I'm not sure when he left ireland but he was married (possibly for the second time) in Glasgow in 1835 but I think he had a child in Scotland with possibly his first wife in 1833.

I was wondering what records/evidence exists for Maghera for that period eg catholic church records, gravestones etc etc

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Lancashire / 1811 census Wigan
« on: Wednesday 19 May 10 17:26 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know whether the 1811 census for Wigan (the part that survived) is fully online? I've seen an online copy which has many of the occupations etc ommited from the transcription but I think that copy was from 2002.

I've a few ancestors with common names so details of occupations would be useful    as it may confirm or rule them out.

Many thanks :)
