Donegal / Re: info on Ann Sharkey, wife of Hugh McGarvey, Kincasslagh, 1901 ?
« on: Saturday 02 November 24 15:12 GMT (UK)  »
I am currently researching a Rose Anne Sharkey (Sharkie), who was born around 1817 in Donegal, to a Daniel Sharkey and Sarah Collins. From information that I have I know that she married a Hugh Moore in Donegal in February 1836, a marriage conducted by a Reverend McMenomie.
I believe that she hails from the Rosses area of west Donegal but was wondering if anyone has come across a Father McMenomie (McMenomy) who may have practised at that time and could point me in the direction of a particular parish or location.
The family moved to Scotland in 1839 where she lost her husband in 1847, leaving her widowed with 4 children to raise.

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Matthew Ferguson of Newtown Limavady (Irish Stray)

Thanks for that info. Ellen McLean’s parents were John McLean and Unity Loag (Logue). I believe that they too were from the Limavady area but I understand that records are very sparse for that region at that time, so probably not much more can be garnered.
Ellen had a brother John, my 3 x Gt Grandfather, whose wife was Catherine Canning. They moved to Scotland between 1817 and 1819, after the birth of their second son.

I might be a few years too late in commenting in this thread but I have just found it, having input the unusual name Windefor.
My research has recently identified a Windefor Ferguson married to Ellen or Helen McLean. They were from the Newtown Limavady area and Ellen moved to Glasgow at sometime between 1843 and 1851, possibly after the death of her husband.
In1851 she is living in Glasgow with her daughters Margaret (28), Eliza (26), and Ann (16), along with sons William (20), James (18) and Edward (7).
If anyone interested is still monitoring this thread then please make contact as I am happy to collaborate with other information I hold.

Lanarkshire / Re: Old Dalbeth M.I.
« on: Friday 11 August 23 07:18 BST (UK)  »
I posted on here last August to see if anyone could tell me in the headstone for my 3xGt Grandfather was still standing in Old Dalbeth. No one seems to have confirmed one way or the other. My assumption was that it was in Old Dalbeth (first interment in the Lairs was 1855, but last one was in 1921) but I’m wondering if it might be in St Peter’s.

The Lair number for the 1855, 1860 and 1876 burials is ‘283 West Side’ and for the 1912 and 1921 burials is the one next to it ‘282 West Side’.

Would anyone be able to say where ‘West Side’ relates to, would it be Old Dalbeth or St Peter’s?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Chris5856,

That’s some task you’ve undertaken but I’m sure you’ll be getting a buzz out of it, through helping others who are too distant from Glasgow to be able to visit the cemetery in person.

I have family in St. Kentigern’s and would kindly ask if you could post a picture of their headstone if they have one and you come across them in the process of your project.

I have a Robert Docherty and wife Sarah (nee Duffy) in Section 2 Lair 2058, buried 1895 and 1888 respectively. I also have a George Lochrie in section 2 Lair 2587, buried 1906. I am not sure if there will have been headstones at either grave as the family will have been fairly poor but much appreciated if you could confirm if you have found any record of them in your completed Section 2 or if there is no headstone in place.

I also have the following in St Kentigern’s and would be grateful to hear if any readers exploring the various sections below come across any information that would help me.

Section 4 Lair 267 Henry Hughes buried 1921
Section 9 Lair 2573 Robert Docherty and wife Isabella (nee Ferguson) buried 1932 and 1940
Section 10 Lair 651 Robert Girvan and wife Annie (nee O’Hare) buried 1945 and 1932
Section 22 Lair 1430 William Docherty and wife Mary (nee Girvan) buried 1980 and 1974

I live in England now and haven’t had the chance to get up to Glasgow to search for myself.

Im afraid I did not come across Robert & Sarah Docherty. So far Ive either not photographed or have not come across the names you ask for. I will look out for them when I do. Chris


Thanks Chris

Would anyone know if the headstone for Andrew McFadyen (died 1860) and his wife Mary Dougherty (died 1876) is still standing in Old Dalbeth cemetery. The lair number is 283 West Side. I have an old picture of it and was wondering if it was still there to see. He was my Gt-Gt Grandfather. His son James McFadyen and his wife Mary Gillan (Gallan) are buried in the adjacent lair, 282 West Side.
Much appreciated if anyone can shed any light on this for me.
