Doonan, thanks I had that information, I think that Annie had a sister called Bridget who died in 1895 in Port Glasgow, her mother is listed as Mary Ann Moore nee Docherty and father as John Moore, so I am assuming that John remarried Bridget, did you have any of that?  who is your Great Grandfather/mother.  Mine is John Kearney.

My great grandfather was born in Ardara on 5.10.1871 his father was James and his Mother Annie Moore, is your family part of this link?  I know that James's father was William Kearney and his mother Eliza but I am struggling with her maiden name because of the registrars handwriting.  Do you know any of the family attached.

What does Puute mean if it has a meaning.

Thank you, that might help because further down the family tree the name Bessie starts to appear.  Is this Co. Donegal excuse my ignorance and did your Great Aunt Bessie end up in Scotland particularly Port Glasgow??

I am not sure about the nickname "Puute" if you speak french you may understand but that means "whore" lets hope that is not what they intended !!!!

Thanks

Yes, I tried checking, but it seems that James came over with a cousin called Patrick, all I have to go on is the family names as stated on Marriage and Death Certificates and the census in scotland which shows that they were born in Ireland I think his mothers maiden name might have been Naylor or Mayle very difficult to read the registrars handwriting (must have been a Dr in a previous life !!).

I know that James left for Port Glasgow before 1867 because he was married in Port Glasgow where his age is stated as 24.  The Kearneys were staunch Catholics, is there any other way I can trace family births and deaths in Ireland I know it is notoriously difficult given the destruction of the records??

When James got married in 1867 his parents were still alive.

Help needed to trace the Kearney family who were from Donegal.  I believe that William was the Father and I think lived in Donaghmore parish, I can find one instance of him in the Griffiths Valuation renting land in Goland.  His wife was Eliza I cannot read her maiden name.  They had at least one son James who left Ireland and came to Port Glasgow where he married Annie Moore.  I have tried the Pilot Family Search but cannot find anything relating to them including variances of the surname.  Can anyone help???

How fantastic thank you so much my mum might be able to recognise some people in the photos I will send what I have in terms of family tree but I think we are distantly related.

Canada / Searching for Albert Green from Port Glasgow
« on: Tuesday 03 August 10 13:36 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find my uncle Albert Green who was born in Port Glasgow in 1928 to Albert Stuart Green and Sarah Green nee Kearney.  I know he emigrated to Canada, but that is all, I know that he died in Canada, he had an accident whilst tree felling and the tree killed him.  I know it is a small amount of information but I am desparate to try and find him.

Anybody have any ideas where I can start?
