Anyone researching McCloy Yet ?

[celia]

Hi
Every now and then i ask this question,i Have had all my information a few years.So far no one else seems to have any McCloys on their tree.I have my own branch from Glasgow 1792 to my g.Grandmothers (Jane McCloy born Bridge of weir Rfw 1841) She married George James baron in Scotland in 1866.Died in blackburn early 1900? Her parents were Richard McCloy and Ann nee Sanson of Glasgow.Have loads of information to share on various branches. A booklet was made up of all my McCloys,on odd occations spelt McLay, from all the official records incuding the Latter Day saints.According to that .Younger generations spead out over scotland.So if you have any McCloys no matter how far removed  i would be interested to know.

Maybe one day My Star will Shine on Me

Hi Celia

I have a lot of McCloy information in my tree going back to a George McCloy from Craigs, Antrim.  Most of them ended up in Greenock, down the Clyde from Glasgow.  I have my most updated tree on GenesReunited.com and can get you access to it if you are a member of that site (its a free site and i've found it quite useful).  My mother's maiden name is McCloy and I have loads of family still back in Scotland.

I've also got lots of McCloy records and files that don't fit in to my tree or I haven't connected.  You can email me directly at atherholt at comcast.net

Hi Wayne
How wonderfull to hear from a McCloy at last ,i have emailed  you a few facts on my tree.It would be nice if we can find a connection, the family was so big and seemed to spread out all over Scotland in later generations.Hope to hear from you soon if i got your email right

P.S I have just noticed the mother of jane Mc Cloy Is incorrect ,I forgot to update it.Will change it later

I've only just found this forum...There are lots of us McCloys in New Zealand...and yes I'm trying to get info of our McCloy's from Nth Ireland/and elsewhere...My gGrandfather,ALEXANDER McCLOY,Came to New Zealand 1879 with his 14yr old sister ELIZABETH...His parents are listed on his Marraige and Death Certs as Jane(nee McAulay) and James McCloy, Co.Antrim......I have found aRoman Catholic Batptism record from ARMOY Parish dated 26-11-1854 for an ALEXANDER about the right age with parents JANE (McAuley) & JAMES McCLOY.....sponsors Alexander McDonnell & Rose Ann McKillop.
..
Any info appreciated as we will be visiting Ireland next year and have a quest to complete our family tree back as far as possible...Thanks GJ
