Down / Re: Toman family help
« on: Wednesday 26 July 17 21:07 BST (UK)  »
With the help of an outside researcher in Scotland, I was able to definitively find the following regarding my question in the post above:

In 1855 in Scotland:

James Toman was age 28 and a miner. Born Lochenisle, Downpatrick, Ireland. He married Elizabeth Cunningham in Ayr in 1850 and had 3 boys living in 1855 and 4 children by former marriage. James could not write.

Elizabeth Cunningham was 29 born County Down, Ireland

This is an old thread and is unlikely to receive a reply at this point, I know, and I'm sorry to say I don't have direct info on the original request. Instead, I'll be one of those people that joins on to ask a related question because info is sparse. But it might be somewhat related...

I'm looking for more information about a James Toman (b 1823 in Ireland according to Scottish records) that moved to Ayreshire, Scotland. He was married to Elizabeth Cunningham (also possibly of Ireland, though uncertain). They had 7 children in Scotland, and the names are sure to be familial: John, Francies/Francis, Elizabeth, James, Catherine, Euphemia and Felix (b 1861). I've been unable to find out if/when they emigrated from Ireland to Scotland, or if, in fact, they were from Co. Down - though it seems likely given the geography etc.

I've also found reference to a Mary Toman, b 1789 in Ireland in the 1871 Scotland Census (and nowhere else yet from the Scotland side), but have no idea what relation she is to James Toman, above.
