Hi Drop Bear,
I have one thought for you on finding records for America. Did you try searching for a crossing through Canada. It was alot easier ( as in you didn't need alot of documentation ).
Also, I am researching the Farrell line. I have a Peter Farrell b. circa 1830 d. 1886. He married a Mary McPoland b. circa 1846 d. 1924.
On the 1901 Scotland Census , Mary McPoland Farrell was living on 174 Brandon St, Motherwell
Occupants in the house were :
Patrick Farrell b. Ireland age 20 - listed as other relative
Teresa Catherine b. Ireland age 21 , daughter
Francis Joseph b. Glasgow age 19 , son
Willie Charles b. Glasgow age 16 , son
Anthony Farrell b. Ireland age 22 , listed as other relative
I assume Anthony and Patrick are nieces and nephews . Could these be your Anthony and Patrick ?
