Hi Donna, have also just noticed you have a Mary LAING born 13th August 1805, sorry that might be the wrong MARY Laing, as this Mary MARRIED William WEBSTER. The Mary you want was born 13th April 1806, as her parents were John LAING & Barbara LAIRD.

Hi Donna,
I have only just found this family, but it was on another web site. If I,m correct and these other people are correct Mary LAING's parents were John LAING & Barbara LAIRD??. This John LAING is my 5th Great Uncle.

The family are the same, BUT I am actually looking for certificates etc to confirm parents, siblings etc.

Would love to swapp notes etc with you if you are keen to.I reckon I can put you in contact with other people to if we can verify parents etc.

Regards Leanne

Hi, I have LANG/LAING's in my tree, but mine are Robert LANG & Elizibeth MITCHELL??, Only one son known Archibald c.1755. I have all just about given up finding siblings for Archibald, which is strange for that time frame of him being the only child.

My lot also came from Larbert, you havent come across this family any where in your family history research??.

Australia / IMMIGRATION of David LAING & Elizabeth (nee GILMOUR) & Family
« on: Friday 29 December 06 12:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone, :D

My great grandparents David & Elizabeth LAING 9nee GILMOUR) AND THEIR 7 Children:
James, William,Elizabeth,Hannah,Isabella and of course my Grandfather Alexander Scott LAING all came out from Glasgow port????(They lived in Airdrie and the Slamannan area ) to Maryborough in QLD.

I have tried searching for their arrival but to no avail. I do know that their son William was in the first world war, around 1915 , and he joined up here in QLD.

Also David is suppose to have come out in 1885 to work the mines in the Howard district, for a few years as a single man??(Family Lore) then he was suppose to have gone back and married Elizabeth GILMOUR 1889.

My Grandfather was born 1906 and he was suppose to have been around 6 years of age when they came out. Of course this is all Family Lore.

If its possible, could some one do a bit of a check or even to just give me a some good advice and hints on how to go about looking for their immigration.

Many thanks everyone,Leanne :)

Dublin / QUIRK Family
« on: Friday 23 June 06 10:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,
I know my posting is a long shot, but I haven't anything to lose.After 10 years I am Still looking for information on my Great Great Grandfather John QUIRK.

What information I have is:
From John's Marriage Certificate, John states he was Born in Dublin, Ireland, c.1835 ??. John States his Parents were:
John QUIRK & Mary LOUGHLIN.

John also states that his father John QUIRK Snr was a Soldier.

To this day I have never been able to find these so called parents or siblings.

John Migrated out to Australia ???. He Married a fello Irish girl Eliza (Elizabeth CORCORAN) From Tipperary,Ireland in 1865,Kyneton,Victoria,Australia.
Eliza's parents were Elizabeth SPILLAINE & John CORCORAN.

I once tried to find a Shipping Record for John and came up with about 50 John QUIRK'S.

If you think you see a connection would love to hear from you. If you can maybe help with other avenues, this to would be much appreciated.
