Some time ago I was in contact with a lady who answered a posting for Taggart/Scarlett.  She sent the following information.   

Emily Jane Scarlett born 1897 Drumboghena. Co. Fermauagh, Ireland
Daughter of James Scarlett and Ellen Graham.  James was born 1848 Drumboghena.
He was the son of William Scarlett and Martha Nixon.

Emily Jane married a Scarlett who  was born Ballycastle Co.Antrim in 1891.
He was the son of John Scarlett and Letitia Reynolds.
John was the son of John Scarlett and Roseann Taggart
Roseann was the daughter of James Taggart and Rose McAfferty.  James and Rose were married in 1831.
James and Rose had  two other children…. James and Jane.  Roseann  Born 1837.  Other children between 1831- 37
James was the son of Robert Taggart and Jane ?

Roseann Taggart married John McLean.  The met and married in New York City. 

As for my line I have Taggarts and Scarletts that are connected but I do not know how.  My Taggarts all have reference to where they were born but unfortunately the places they settled in also bear the same name as Ireland.  ie Cavan.  I have not been able to figure out on which side of the ocean they were at the time.  All I have to go on is that James came to Canada in 1818 at age 21.  He may have come directly from Ireland to Canada or from Ireland to United States to Canada.  James and his brother John operated a mill.   Even the family groupings are speculation.  Cousins may have come and settled together.

Hello
I have information showing William Tweedie in 1876 in Bury's Green Ontario.  It mentions his sister Mrs. Smith. 

If you think this may be your family I will look further.
