Hello again Falkryn, thank you so much for your reply and thank you for the offer.  I am trying to find out if my gr8 gr8 gr8 gr8 grand-parents originated from Ireland, their names were George Storrie(abt 1800) + Elizabeth Fletcher(abt 1800-1862).  All my other ancestors came from Lanarkshire(shotts) but i am now stuck with these two and there is a possiblity that they were at one point in Ireland living or actually came from there.  Many thanks for your help.  Karen

The only George Storrie listed in the 1851 index is 48 yrs of age and born in Airdrie ... there is no wife with him.

There is an Elizabeth Storrie age 33 born in Ireland but she is with John Storrie age 34 also born in Ireland .... they have two children William age 5 and Sarah age 3 both children born in St Quivox in Ayrshire.

I have had a look at my tree again and i dont think what you have found is from my family, its back to the drawing board i think.  I cant find any info on either of them.  With it not been in the Lanarkshire cencus do you think that they did not come from Ireland then?  Many thanks for looking for me, kind regards Karen

The trouble with census entries is that they are only a glimpse of what who was living where on one particular day ...... they may have been in Ireland at the time of the 1851 in Lanarkshire .... they may have been elsewhere or even just travelling.

I have two from Lanarkshire who disappeared after allegedly emigrating to New Zealand ... only for their descendants to turn up in Washington State in the USA.

Well thank you so much for your help!  I will just have to keep searching and hopefully come up with something eventually.  All the best in your research.  Best wishes Karen xx

Hello All,
Just to let you know that I will be going to Glasgow in September & paying yet another visit to the wonderful Mitchell Library. I will be looking up the poor law records myself for Stories, Storries or any other way of spelling it. I have poor law records from other ancestors & they tell you more information than any other records. If I manage to find any I will of course put the findings on this site, so keep looking! I was told by staff at the Mitchell Library that If I find any records relevant to my family & they came from Ireland (as I know some of mine dofrom the census returns) then the records will actually say where in Ireland they were born!
Regards Sue

 Hi

Were these names taken from a census? If so wich year? Not sure whether they are from my family. I did find a John Story (spelt different again) on 1841 census in St Quivox he was 24 & single. If this is from 1851 census could be the same man.
I think All the Storie, Storries & storeys came over from Ireland!
I have been told that Stories came mostly from Londonderry & Tyrone.
