Stirlingshire / Re: index for burials
« on: Friday 19 November 10 13:31 GMT (UK) »
I wish I had found this earlier. I am doing some work for a friend in the US and this is one of the leads
"There is a stone in the Churchyard bearing: 1820 John Marshall & Mary Shaw but this is obviously from a lot further back than your Marshalls"
I am going to Kilsyth tomorrow (my daughter lives in Glasgow) - so if you have any ideas where in the cemetery this stone is it would be great. My visit is a bit rushed and I didn't have time to contact the cemetery itself (and the office is closed tomorrow).

Renfrewshire / Re: Morrow or Virtue records
« on: Sunday 08 January 06 18:13 GMT (UK) »
Tassy,
Do you think David was born in Scotland or Ireland? The reason I ask is that I am researching a family with the surname Morning but in several places - especially the 1851 Census of Scotland the name appears as Morrow - so maybe the name isn't as it appears - especially if the person was unable to write. The Mornings came form Co Antrim - certainly no later than 1817 when David was born in Elderslie. The family were all weavers and presumable came to that part with the start of power loom weaving.
Probably no connection but.....

Just to prove you can teach an old dog new tricks - sorry Christopher
When you go to post a message if you look just below the Message box you will see a link that says 'additional Options' - click on this and the bottom option allows you to add attachments with some limitations. The file types are those that are less likely to harbour viruses so I guess this is the reason why the attachments are limited to these file types: txt, jpg, jpeg, gif, pdf, mpg, png, ged.
I have attached a PDF of the transcript of the letter - hopefully you and others can cope with this file format.
Alan
PS - now to see if the theory actually works - no doubt someone will tell me if I haven't uploaded the file!!

Hi Both,
I guess I forgot the most obvious question - what religion?
In that period there are four distinct 'hotspots' of the Morning family - Antrim, Londonderry, Donegall and Wicklow.
Of those that I have managed to track and identify - the Wicklow ones have all been Catholic, The Antrim and Londonderry have all been presbyterian and I don't know about those in Donegall.
I have a wonderful letter written in 1784 about the Antrim Mornings (which I think are my lot). I haven't figured out if I can add attachments - probably not (no doubt Christopher can advise) - but I am happy to provide a transcript to anyone who is interested. The letter is by the local minister and tells the story of a visit he made to the home of Adam Morning of Aird (which is about a mile from the Giants Casueway)

Then I think there is no obvious connection. William married in 1823 in Co Antrim - so your Eliza would probably not fit into the normal pattern of25 years between genarations.
Having said that, stranger things have happened so I will keep an eye out for your ancestors in my research.

From the death certificate you will get the approximate year of Eliza's birth.
I had a quick look at the 1851 Census index for Glasgow but couldn't see any likely families.
As far as I can judge - assuming my lot came over as a family group, they arrived between 1866 and 1869 - so too late to have a direct link with yours.

Hi Aileen,
I came across your message by chance.
Curiously I have a Margaret McIlwain married to a John Morning in 1866 in Scotland. Margaret was born about 1844 in Ireland.
So far I have identified three siblings of Margaret - Andrew, William and Mary (sadly not your William as this one died in Scotland.
Margaret's parents were William McIlwain and Mary Kane who married in Ballyeaston, Co Antrim in 1823
No sign of an Edward though.
I am also interested in your Margaret Morning as I have done quite a bit of research in the Morning families of northern Ireland - mainly Antrim and Londonderry.
If you want to exchange notes please send me a PM
