[sss65]

Hi,
   Robert McCaw married Catherine McCahghan (sic) in Rasharkin Presbyterian Church, Ballymoney on 14 Aug 1885. I have no information on the children.

Regards

I came across this message reply- I am connected to the Robert McCaw you mentioned and am trying to find out more about his brother Hugh and their parents Hugh and Letitia  nee Adams.
Have you any more info? I know they were in Glasgow by 1901 but cannot find them there before this.

That's great info thankyou.
 
All I need to find now is any evidence of when Hugh jnr and his brothers came to glasgow. They were there by 1900 as Hugh married in glasgow that year his brother Robert married in Ireland - Catherine Mccaughern as mentioned in the other topic. but I can't find info as to when they left Ireland.

Any further info you can get about Hugh seniors parents and letitia's would be excellent.
Thank again,
Sue

hi,
I am joseph(joe) mccaw and i live in sydney australia. my great grandparents on my dads side were robert mccaw and catherine mccaughern. roberts parents were hugh mccaw and letitia adams.  Thomas's grandparents hugh and martha were i believe  married in 1907 in rasharkin county antrim  ireland. i have no records of any children at present to this couple as i have been concentrating on the main line back. My grandparents were joseph bonar mccaw( hughs younger brother) and rose kane. 
this may or may not help. however since it appears that thomas and i are related i would look forward to the opportunity to communicate with him.

Hi Joe

Have passed you message on to Tommy.  I did a bit of research, and was able to hook up with some on ancestry.com, which was fantastic as they had photos, I think i have saved them, if you want copies.  So your Grandfather and Tommy's were brothers, which makes you second cousins.  What a shame didn't find you earlier, they were out from Scotland in March and we took them to Sydney!!

My email for all things family history related is:

I can send you what I found out for Tommy if you like.

kind regards

Linda

Hi Linda, 
Appreciate your offer very much re info from Thommy. Unfortunately I have lost the reply you sent (having a lot of trouble navigating this site). They blocked your email address so perhaps you can send it again some other way.
