Hi My Great, Great Grandfather Joseph Fleming was working in mines in and around Airdrie and Coatbridge. His father Thomas and his father George did too. I know Thomas died in Airdrie in Woodhall 1862 at which time Joseph brought his family and his mother to the miners Rows in Netherton, New Kilpatrick which is now Anniesland. My question is the story goes he had to move because he was in the Trade Union and hundreds of miners were getting put out of their homes etc. I know you can read about it on the Scottish Mining Website but i was wondering if there was any way to check if there was anyway to check blacklists or if the employers got police involved. just out of interest

And both George Fleming and Margaret Henthorn and a squad children wwere from Tynan

Yes, that's right .David was most likely a cousin on the maternal side

My 4 times gt grandfather was born circa 1779 Tyan/Tynan Armagh, That is from Census forms in Airdrie in Scotland where moved with his family. His wife was Margaret Henthorn born 1792 and died 13 jan 1857 in Airdrie in Lanarkshire. Her death certificate states father Thomas Henthorn mother unknown. George's father is listed as John Fleming Farmer deceased no mother mentioned. Henthorn is quite an unusual name. Is it local?

That census was from here . Also note that when my great gran Maggie died in 1910 one year later Thomas again married to  a woman who i believe was a relative, He had 6 children in the house and had to work so I think this women who was of or married to his mother's Sloan family was sent to help. Living in one room and kitchen with 8 people i guess its inevitible they married within a year
