Hi again,
I've sent you a pm. On it I think the Ann Eliza I mentioned is his mother. Also the details of his fathers death plus Andrews occupation.

Check out the site for yourself.  www.proni.gov.uk

My first attempt at genealogy so please be patient.

My Mother and I went to live at Annaclare during the war in 1940 and remained there until 1944.

The family living there at that time consisted of:
George Scott the eldest boy, Elizabeth Adelaide Couser Ne. Scott (my grandmother) and Thomas Scott the younger brother.

There was another brother who was killed in an accident while still a boy and a younger sister Nellie whose married name was Blacklock and she lived in Liverpool.

My grandmother was the only one to have children, my mother Dorothy Joyce and a son Terence. I am the only descendant.

George Scott died in 1943 or 4 and Annaclare was sold.

It was a beautiful property of 100 acres with fine old buildings. The new house was built about 1870, there were the ruins of an old house nearby.

Uncle George said the family came there from Scotland in the 15th Century. He was known as 'The Laird' and held the honorary position of High Sherriff of the county.

I would be interested in any information about earlier generations at Annaclare or about the Armagh Cousers. My mother's maiden name was Couser and her father was  Herbert about whom I know nothing.

Hope this is of some interest.

Michael

Neither George or Thomas ever married.

IGI lists a daughter, born 27 Aug. 1872, to Henry Scott and Anne Eliza Croft.

Michael- welcome to Rootschat. Not sure if there's any connection here but Mary Couser (born c1843) m. James Heney and had: Anna Stuart, Minnie, Lavinia, Thomas, William Henry, John, James Thompson. I was told that the Cousers were French Huguenots and I believe the Heneys were also originally from Co. Armagh.

Hi Tony

Thanks for that information. Couser is an uncommon name and the year 1899 would be just right.

Hi Toni and Madie,

Toni in your first message on 30 August you mention a John Scott at Carganamuck.

When I lived at Annaclare Tom Scott owned a tenanted property which I thought was  Carnamuck but I never saw the name written down so it could be the same place.

I went there once. It was a wild boggy place of over 100 acres with lots of pigs, chooks and kids as I remember it.

I am enjoying this.

Cheers Michael

My cousin has recently confirmed the connection with my grandfather, Andrew Scott (b.1869), as the son of Henry Scott through a will which listed the same address where my Andrew was living in Dublin at the time (1899) It seems his mother was Anne Eliza Croft. My cousin also found a marriage cert. dated Jun 17, 1867, city of Armagh. Father's name; William, both listed as farmers. Anne's father was William Croft, also farmer. Here is where it gets foggy. We heard that our great grandfather, Henry, married a widow, with the same last name of Scott. So would that be Anne Eliza, or was it the widow of John Scott of Annaclare, who would be Elizabeth Scott? So perhaps there was a "blended family" of children. I wonder if John Scott and Henry Scott were related, and how. Brothers, cousins?
