Hi Iain

Thank you so much for the details. I'm glad you know what you are doing, I never would have spotted he was in the TA.

On the Miskimmin theme we are distant cousins. Your g-grandpa Samuel was my g-grandma Ellen Jane Miskimmins nephew. Another link in the chain. If you send me a personel message through the list I will send all the details I have on Samuel.

Regards Ddee

Hi Iain

Thanks for your reply. John must have joined after 1935, he was married previously in 1920 aged 21, at the time a coal miner. When his wife died in 1935 her death cert. states he was a labourer. He was a coal miner after the war again. I haven't pursued his records as I have only just returned to research on the Blacks. He was actually my aunts cousin, his father James and my gran Matilda Miskimmin Black were brother and sister. So you see my interest in your name, my g-gran was Ellen Jane Miskimmin and I have been researching the family for many years. As they all had large families there are a few still unaccounted for, so any time I see the name it rouses my interest.

Do you know who your grandfathers parents were?

Regards Ddee

Hello Iain  :D

His name was John Robertson Black  born in Ireland 1899/1900. He was a sergeant in the R.S.F.
His home address at the time of his marriage to my aunt was 21 Old Ave. Auchinlech, Ayrshire.

Iain I'm very interested in your Miskimmins name are you related to the Miskimmin family from Donaghadee?

  :D   James, thank you so much for the information, I really appreciate your help. The scan was done from a photo copy, hence the poor quality.

Hi Zion

My g-grandma was Ellen Jane Miskimmins  who was James Miskimmins sister. Their parents were Hugh Miskimmins & Elizabeth Hastings.

James married Mary Ann O'Neill on 5th Jan 1874 at Newtownards Registry Office. I had come across the same problem O'Neill or Pollock but Newtownards Registry can only find a marriage for Mary Ann O'Neill,so I think Pollock is a mistake on the Morman site.

My cousin and I have been researching the Miskimmins of Donaghadee for years , so if you send me a personal message I can share our research.

Regards Dee
