Hi Norrie,
Thanks so much for looking for me. I'm new on this rootschat and finding everyone so helpful

My HAGGARTY interest stems from the following:
Janet YOUNG (b. 26/03/1780 Cupar, Fife d. 1864) md Charles HAGGARTY 07/12/1802 Edinburgh.
On the marriage entry it says Charles was in the Royal Navy. There was some later paperwork that indicated he was in the Merchant Navy so not quite sure. From what the family knows they went to Belfast, Ireland where their son Andrew HAGGARTY was born 01/10/1804. His birth shows up in the Cupar parish records but I think he was born in Ireland.
From what we then know Charles must have died - perhaps in the Napoleonic wars of the time and we think Janet remarried as the son Andrew became known as Andrew Haggarty GILLESPIE. We've been unable to find Charles or the GILLESPIE marriage so we're not 100% on all this but Ireland does seem the most likely place Charles was originally from.
I just keep looking for Haggarty's in hope that someone stumbles across the right one.
