Hi Kaz

Thank your for letting me know where Ramoan cementary is. Names I am looking for are Magowan/McGowan, McCaw and Martin. Poss Hannan but don't think Hannans would be there. Thanks for offer but I would like to go, see around Ballycastle/Rathlin. Some years since I have been there. I will be travelling from Belfast.  Hope to go mid of September, so if I can help you or anyone else when I am there please let me know.

What can I say? A big, big thank you. I was just about to quit and checked e-mail. There were two replies yourself and billybob. The info u have given is 1st class. Thank you so very, very much or in gaeilge Go raibh mile maith agat (1000 thank yous). Violet's 2nd husband was George Hannan and they married in July 1877 in Glasgow. I know they returned to Antrim as my gran was born there July 1878. Thank you for offer of checking census. If ever I can do anything for you just say. I an new at this but will do by best.

You are a star!! Thank you so very, very much. I have been looking at resouce material all evening and on pc.  Tired, eves ready to close and thought I'd check e-mail before calling it a day and there was your reply. I couldn't believe it. Tiredness has gone and feel like going to pub.  Somehow I felt the further back I went the harder the searches would be. Not with people like you around. You have really made me so happy. Go raibh mile maith agat. (1000 thank yous) I notice Jean is not there. Perhaps she has died. I do have printouts of deaths for a Jean Riggs (Beggrie) but have not gone done them as yet. Violet Riggs is my grt grandmother. I will lokk on Scots People. Again thank you. If ever I can help you just ask. I owe you big time.

Can any one help in finding Violet's roots.  Her parents were George Riggs and Jean Beggrie. Surname of mother may have variants. Violet was baptised in St Cuthberts Edinburgh Jan 1834. Can't read entry but they may have lived in Richmond Street. I think George worked as a shoe????. Thank you in advance. Good luck to all in their searches.

Hi Kaz

Just new to this site and trying to find my way. Can you give me directions to Ramoan Cemetery? Can I get to it by public transport? I don't mind a walk I like walking. Nice to know offers of help are there. Went into chat room yesterday and bit lost. Hopefully I will get the hang of it.
