Europe / Donegal emigrants
« on: Thursday 06 December 07 09:57 GMT (UK)  »
Richard and Ann McGirle (McGarrell, Magarell), Thomas Beckett; James McMunigall were all immigrants to Scotland in the 19th Century. Any help in tracing them would be appreciated.

Ireland / Re: Directories of Belfast & Province of Ulster

Hi Christopher  :-\

Can I take it that your directories cover Co Donegal? In particular I am trying to trace Richard McGirle (sometimes spelt McGarrell, Magarrel) born in Co Donegal around 1817. He was a shoemaker to trade. Married Ann Livingstone c1819 (also born in Donegal) and they moved to Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland in the 1850s. They had a daughter Amelia, also born in Ireland.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Isobel

Thanks for getting back to me. I've just discovered Rootschat so I didn't know there was an Ireland board - I'll check it out.

Cheers

Hi Stuizzy

Many thanks for getting back to me. I had tried to find them many times without success on Scotlandspeople - when I keyed in Margaret instead of McGirle I got both the 1871 and 1861 censuses. I know now why I couldn't access their birth and marriage records as they were from Ireland. I've had no luck with other branches of the family who hail from Ireland. I've tried several Irish sites with little or no success - you don't know a more reliable site, do you? I'm a relative newcomer and still have an awful lot to learn.

Cheers!

Family History Beginners Board / Renfrewshire McGirles

Can anyone help me find the McGirles? Richard McGirle and his wife Ann (nee Livingstone) were living in Greenock, Renfrewshire in 1875 at the time of their daughter Amelia's marriage to Thomas Beckett.

Hi Helen

My grandmother was Margaret McGunnigle and she was literate, so by the time the name processed through the years it was definitely McGunnigle. My mother's middle name was McGunnigle (Margaret McGunnigle Young).

Hi Debbie/Helen

Just writing to introduce myself. I'm one of the McGunnigle connections (it's spelt several different wasy - probably because they were illiterate and couldn't say how their name was spelt, so the officials filling in the forms had to guess). Certainly makes searching for them complicated.

I'm Margaret Beckett (nee Lorimer). My gtgrandfather James McMonnigal b1870 was the elder brother of Thomas McMonnigal b1875 and Susan McMonigall b1877.

The Jessie Fraser mentioned in Roseann's posting is my full cousin - her mother was my mother's elder sister. You will probably also be hearing from Jacqueline, her daughter. They live in Canada.

Cheers!

Margaret
