United States of America / Ship's Crew Member - McCord 1880s
« on: Tuesday 30 January 07 10:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi from Belfast, N Ireland,
I am tracing my g-grandfather Robert Arthur McCord, ship's rigger, b c1855-58 in Ireland. I believe he may have been a crew member on the SS British King which was a vessel that carried emmigrants to the USA (Philidelphia?) and NZ in the 1880s.
His father was William and he may have had a brother or uncle, name unknown who was active in the Civil War. (I guess brother is unlikely given his age, unless he was much older.)
Robert never emmigrated himself but it would be great if I could find confirmation of his presence on this or any other ship.
Many thanks for your attention,
Gary

New Zealand Completed Requests / Ship's Crew Member 1881 - McCord
« on: Tuesday 30 January 07 10:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi all from Belfast, NI,
I am tracing my g-grandfather Robert McCord, b c1855-58 in Northern Ireland, who never emmigrated but I believe sailed as a rigger on the SS British King which may visited NZ.
Family stories say he rounded Cape Horn which may confirm he was in those parts.
Any confirmation source would be very welcome as I am not sure he was permanently attached to this vessel - the only record I have was when he was in dock in Birkenhead, UK 1881.
Many thanks for your attention,
Gary

Tyrone / Lookup Thompson Births Clogherny 1878- completed
« on: Tuesday 30 January 07 09:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
If anyone has access to records could you confirm parent details of Robert Thompson b 2 Feb 1877 and Semelia (Temilia?) Thompson b 9 Mar 1878. I believe the family were Presbyterian and around Clogherny at that time.
Many thanks in anticipation,
Gary

Just saw your kind reply, Christopher.
Dunleath's record are in PRONI but nothing of much interest - mostly political, little to do with the running of the estate.
I found Hugh's grave in Greyabbey so have progressed a little.
The family were CoI and I am now looking to trace Hugh's father Henry, trader/hawker born c1830.
Thanks for your attention,
Regards,
Gary

Down / Lookup Birth McCord, Portaferry 1853
« on: Thursday 25 January 07 12:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks,
Any help proving the above connection would be gratefully received.
Possibly my g-grandfather Robert McCord, Sailor, born c1853 Portaferry. His father's name was William, whitesmith by trade later in Belfast.
This find came from 1881 census in Birkenhead where he was on board a ship - SS British King. I know our family's Robert sailed the world and this ship did indeed.
I would like to confirm this Robert from Portaferry had William as his father.
Many thanks
