McCormick/McCormack

[KMcKenzie]

Hello 

I'm just wondering whether there is anyone else researching any McCormick's or McCormack's from either Greenock or Eastwood between the dates of 1800 and 1881?

I have McCormicks and McCormacks in my family, originally from Ireland. Was there anything in particular you were trying to find? My Grandfather was James Paton McCormick, born in Greenock in 1879. I don't think Eastwood figures anywhere but if you think there is any connection please get in touch again.

Hi Keelan and Susan42

Hello both!

The name James Paton McCormick doesn't ring any bells in my Tree sorry. Then again there were so many McCormick's or McCormack's living in Renfrewshire that it could well be possible. All of my McCormick/mack's were from Ireland, possibly Co. Antrim. What were the parents of James Paton McCormick called?

Daniel McCormick is a very prominent name in my Tree. I have had a look at the Inverclyde BMD website and like you said, there are so many of the McCormicks especially i couldn't see any of mine though at the moment, i think i would need to take a closer look at it to see if there were any matches.

The family im looking into is that of either Duncan McCormick and Alice Dillon and Daniel McCormick & Helen Boyle. There could well be many other McCormick's related to these couples i have not yet found.

Hi Keelan
do you have the birth cert for their son Charles born 1855 that would give
you more details about the parents and where in Ireland they came from

Hi Elaine,

Yeah i do have the certificate for Charles, he was my 3x Great Grandfather. The father Daniel was born in Renfrewshire to Duncan McCormick & Alice Dillon, his wife Helen Boyle was born in Ireland to John Boyle & Mary McCartney. Daniel & Helen were Married in Glasgow thankfully so i was able to get their marriage certificate. I was just scouting around in the hope someone else was doing the same tree, seems a very lonely tree in my family, think im the only one researching it!

I know how you feel Keelan
I can't seem to link any of mine either
its the Irish connection they are so hard to find
I dont know whereabouts in Ireland mine came from
they were born before registration so I really have gave up on finding them
I will keep a list of your names and if I hear of anyone researching them I will
let you know
Good Luck
and
merry Christmas

If you come across a James McCormick married to a Bridget Keenan
pls let me know
I have them named on the death cert of their son James
who married a Catherine McCafferty then a Jane Simpson
which is were it gets confusing as
on the latter  marriage cert it states his parents as Peter McCormick and Bridget Harkins 
confused yet

Hello ! I am a McCormick and my g grandfather James McCormick and his wife Elizabeth Carey (Kerry) lived in the Dardenelles Close building in Port Glasgow. James father was a Rodger or Roger McCormick probably born in Ireland, probably Co Antrim.

Does a Roger appear in any of your records? This McCormick family appear in the 1881 and 1891 Port Glasgow census. My grandfather was one of James sons and he eventually came to USA in 1928.

If you have any info on this family, please let me know. Thanks !
