Family History Beginners Board / Re: Toys/Tighes
« on: Wednesday 08 December 10 15:43 GMT (UK)  »
Meara,

Well then we are related as John Tighe and Mary Jane Mullens Tighe were also my great great grandparents. I had thought that they returned to Ireland after the 1881 census as no family lore about Chile has been passed down though my side of the family which is through Mary Tighe Murphy. My Mother was given Tighe as her middle name.
I have William at your great grandfather John’s wedding in Brigeton on November 1, 1882 and then nothing after that for William but more for John and his family to share.
Ann’s husband Andrew McLay is also related to me by my Uncle’s marriage to Elizabeth Duffy McLay.
Tommy died in Broxburn in 1930 18 days after my great grandmother Mary died and just months after my family came to America.
Thank you for the information about Anne and Susan’s incoming voyages. I will follow up.
Regards
John

Meara,

Susan Tighe died unmarried in 1893 in Broxburn at age 28. Her death record does not note her parents, John and Mary Jane Mullen as being deceased. Margaret Tighe married Peter Floody in the Broxburn Catholic Church on June 29, 1888.

I can't account for John, his wife Mary Jane, their children Patrick and Elizabeth nor Margaret and her husband Peter Floody.

What makes you think/suspect they went to Chile?

John

I too am intrigued by what happened to the Tighe family. As far as I can tell it is John his wife Mary Jane Mullins and children William Elizabeth and Patrick that are unaccounted for after the 1881 census. I have info on the other children indicating John and Mary Jane were still alive as late as 1893.

Can anyone share why Chile might be where they went?

Jack,
Roger was my 3rd great grandfather. Unfortunately I have no information about him, but I do have info about his son Roger,  Roger's wife Winifred and descendants in Scotland. If this is of interest let me know.
Regards,
John

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: McCann Family 1860's Uphall
« on: Sunday 08 March 09 16:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I have done some research on the McCann family in Broxburn, Uphall parish as well. One of my relations married a daughter of Elizabeth McCann, the eldest of 8 children of Edward McCann and Bridget McGoohan. Elizabeth married George Taylor in 1880 in the Church of Scotland. Their address was 184 Greendykes Rd in Broxburn.

George Taylor (1856-1902) and Elizabeth McCann Taylor (1857-1936) are buried in Lair C46 in Uphall Cemetery. George was from Fife and Elizabeth Uphall.

The second daughter of Edward McCann and Bridget McGoohan was Bridget and did marry a Kelly. Thomas in St Nicholas and John Cantius RC Church Broxburn in 1878.

Thomas Kelly and Bridget McCann Kelly also had a daughter Bridget born 1890 in Broxburn, married Tom McGlone from Sligo in Broxburn in 1913 and immigrated to America, specifically Brooklyn. Their son Tom was a lawyer and respected member of the Scottish community in Brooklyn.

I have not come across a Simpsons Rows in Uphall.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
John
