Replying to James Finlay Cameron
My great grandfather was William Cameron who married Margaret Finlay from Islandmagee.
They had children Elizabeth, Agnes, Rose, James, Thomas.
Elizabeth Cameron was my grandmother.
She had Eric, Annie, Margaret and Carol. Margaret was Margaret Finlay Cameron Bates.
So it would appear you and I come from the same William and Margaret.
Do you have photos of them, particularly Margaret?

Hi your Grandmother was a much loved Sister of my Granda, My Dad and his siblings all met with you guys over the years, I even met Margaret as I done work in her house, when seeing her full name, I said " you've the same name as me" she asked about the Robinsons from the Knockagh etc, Margaret was living in Carnmoney / Glengormley area.
I also worked at houses in Glenwood St and asked of your Grandmother, though when I called there was no-one home, it was a neighbour Mrs Murphy who told me the house number and spoke so lovingly about your Grandmother.

My name, James Finlay Cameron  is the same as my Uncle and Grandfather.

My Grandfather was originally from Islandmagee and his parents were William and Margaret.

My Grandfather died on 26th September 1974, 30 years to the day from when his nephew James Cameron died as a result of the Battle of Arnhem.

This year, to celebrate my own 50th Birthday, I plan to visit the resting place of James Cameron at Oosterbeek War Cemetery, I shall do so as a Proud Cameron and a Proud Carrickfergus Man.
