Hi Jonathon

No apology needed, everyone makes a start sometime, it doesn't seem that long since I first started out with my family. One thing I learnt is that any info is good. The stuff I passed on is what Peggy gave me to get me started. Your side of the family is all new to me. I have found that it helps to sometimes go sideways and fill in the gaps as someone may pick up on something and it makes the connection.

I try not to use the pay sites until I get a reasonably sound lead to follow, skint is usually the deciding factor here as well.

It is a bit of a pain trying to find the info on the birth of Patrick, have you managed to get any further back? I think it is great that we have connected, I was not too hopefull of making much progress.

Hi Jonathon

Glad to hear from you. Good isn't it when sometihg drops into place.

My wife is the neice of Peggy (Honora) Slawson. Peggy married James Tucker, my mother-in-laws brother.

I know this part of the family quite well having spent many a memorable weekend with them.

Of Patrick I know little but I am doing this for Peggy who has the Slawson side but not much on the Loughlin side. From what Peggy told me there was a brother Thoams who I believe emigrated to the USA.

Where abouts do you fit in to the Loughlin side?

I will get the information on Births etc as soon as I get my pc working again. At the moment I am making do with our old laptop, but all my files are on my own pc.

Regards
Ken

Hi Jonathon
I am doing some research on behalf of my wife's Auntie. Her name is Honora "Peggy" TUCKER ne SLAWSON. Her Grandfather was Patrick LOUGHLIN from Tuam, Galway. And he brought his family up in Heywood, so I guess we must be talking about the same Patrick.

Hi Janice

Thank you, this looks very much like the right family and the Alexander Hastie/Margaret Stewart Mariiage fits.

Much appreciated

Hi
I am trying to find information about John Stewart b, abt 1800 married Mary (Marion) Brown. They had a daughter, my Gt Grandmother Margaret b, abt 1827 Carnock (I think). Maragret Stewart married Alexandr Hastie abt 1850 they had 2 children Alexander b, 1853 and Marion b 1854. Alexander snr died between 1854/1857. Margaret then married William Smith, Holytown 1859. Any information greatly appreciated

Hi Lynette

Thanks for the prompt reply. This is bit long winded I'm afraid but here goes.
I have traced my Russell line back abt 1774 in Airdire to a James Russell who married Maragret Rankin in 1799, Airdire. They had a son William b 1799, William is a very regular name in our family right through to my uncle. It is quite likely that our families would have known each other even if they were not related as my Grandfather John Russell was born at 11 Shanks Street in 1894. Shanks Street is a two streets away from Mack Street, so any children at that time would have been growing up and attending the same schools.

My Moffatt connection comes from Richard Moffatt b, 31.08.1834 New Monkland. Married Janet Stevenson Moffat 26.07.1854 Airdrie. Then came my Gt Grandmother on my Grandmothers side, Stevenson Muir Moffatt b, 22.04.1862.

Richards parents were James Moffatt b abt 1798 Glassford and Mary Douglas, b abt 1803 Cambusnethan. The children were.
John abt 1832
Richard 1834
Peter abt 1838
Robert abt 1841
William abt 1843
Catharine abt 1847

I will see if I can make the connection if their is one. I am in contact with some people in the USA who are also following similar lines and who go back to a common ancestor. One of them may have come across your William/Catharine MacKenzie.

Hi

Nothing to do with your original question but my Gt Grandmother was a Moffatt and I am a Russell. Curiosity prompts me to ask where your Grandmothers family came from. My ancestors are from Lanarkshire, Scotland, the Russell side from Airdrie.

Cheers
Ken Russell
