Hi Gortinanima, thanks for that, I was not aware that family trees were banned. I suppose it is a privacy issue.
Your Cummings info has kept me busy entering it into PAF.

RE: George Cummings of Ballycarton and wife Elizabeth Taylor. Their issue:
   1. James Cummings, son, wed Sarah Jane McLaughlin. (Their son, James, b. ca1839 wed Elizabeth McDermott.)
   2. Mary Cummings, daughter, wed James Rennie. Lived Bridge of Weir, Kilbarchan, Scotland.
   3. David Cummings, Son, b. ca 1827, wed Mary Ann Irwin (earlier records give her name as Jane, may have been 1st wife). Lived Bridge of Weir, Kilbarchan, Scotland.

I have death certs verifying George Cummings and Elizabeth Taylor were parents of Mary Cummings and David Cummings. It was also family lore that George was in the bacon business!

If anyone can add to this, please do.

Many thanks for that valuable information Lahaina. George Cummings was indeed a bacon butcher. My great great  grandfather James Cummings was an apprentice pork cutter at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Mc Dermott in 1871.
It really is wonderful to learn the Names of My great great great grand mothers.  so is it possible that George Cummings came from Bridge of Weir in Scotland originally? given that two of his children married in Bridge of Weir?

Good to know we share great great great great grandparents in George Cummings and Elizabeth Taylor!

RE: Their children James Cummings and Mary Cummings and David Cummings.
The spouses and children of Mary & David were all born in Ireland.  Mary and spouse James Rennie show up in Bridge of Weir in the 1841 census and never leave.  David and wife Mary Ann Irwin appear in the 1871 census and also remain in Bridge or Weir until their deaths.  It seems the son James and wife Sarah Jane McLaughlin and grandson James both lived and died in Ireland.

I am descended from George Cummings through both James and Mary.  There are records of McSkimmins in Magilligan Parish as early as the mid 1600s, so it never occurred to me the family might be originally from Scotland.  I do know the Cummings and related families in Bridge of Weir traveled back and forth to Ireland regularly until the early 1900s.

Absolutely delighted to learn that wes hare the same great great great great grandparents. As mentioned in an earlier post I too am descended from George Cummings & Elizabeth Taylor through their youngest son James Cummings & his wife Sarah Jane Mc Loughlin. In turn their son James Married Elizabeth Mc Dermott  in Tamlaghtard Church Magilligan in 1871. It is through their daughter Anne Elizabeth who is my great Grandmother. ( Born 1874) she married Patrick Campbell in Derry on 19th April 1899. They had 6 children. Their second son James Francis born 1902 is my grandfather.  I also am delighted to learn once again the names of the great great grandmothers as I had come against a brick wall up to now.  Thankyou so much for sharing this wonderful information.

Welcome to Roots chat Lahaina 2 & Astropoet delighted to have made contact with you both.  Can you tell me Astropoet when did David Cummings move across to Kilbarchan? & Do you whether the Cummings family originally come from that area or what was the reason that David & his sister Mary moved there?. Any information much apprecated.
