Hello Deb Starr! Glad to meet your acquaintance. I understand you have some ties to the family through Minnie Ross and John McConachie. I would love to chat!

Think you might have mis-read the date but it only took me a minute to find this marriage on Scotland's People-
ROSS MINNIE & MCCONACHIE JOHN  1901 (year)  655/3 19 (ref)  Shotts (Western District)

Once you view that you can post the details so we can start searching in Irish records.

THANK YOU! I now have the info I need to start going forward in my search :-)

I now know John's father was Joseph McConachie, and mother Mary McClemant.
Plus I have Minnie's parents names of William Ross and Eliza Jane McIntyre.

Oh my goodness! The certified birth certificate I ordered literally says 1904, so I've been searching the wrong date! Blessed be ye! I'm looking for it now. :-)

The Scottish birth certificate for Joseph shows the marriage date of John and Minnie as 1904 July 12th, Shotts West. However, looking for the marriage record itself comes up with nothing. Additionally, his death record only shows parents names and nothing else.

Hello everyone,

I'm new here so sorry if I overstep protocols.

I am currently looking into my husbands lineage. We have traced his grandfather, Joseph McConaghy (McConachie) back to his birth in Shotts West, Scotland in 1905. Both of his parents were from Northern Ireland; John McConaghy (McConachie) 1877 Articlave, and Minnie Ross 1878 (Castlerock?)
However I am having a hard time tracking down birth records, church records, or anything showing which John McConaghy (McConachie) or Minnie Ross these might be.

John and Minnie migrated to the USA on the ship Columbia in 1906 and resided in Pennsylvania, PA, USA. Joseph married Anna Harriet Tucker. One of their children, Richard McConaghy is my husbands father.

If anyone has any information concerning John or Minnie it would be greatly appreciated.  :)
