relatives from ireland

[wigtown 1]

I believe that my great great grandparents were decendants from ireland,how do i go about tracing their steps from ireland to scotland.I think they came across from around 1851 to 1861.

You could look them up on the census for Scotland.

If you could give us their full names we could have a look for you if you don't have access to the records.

I found this Owen Murphy on 1861 census he states he's married but no wife listed with him,  all the other Owen Murphy's born Ireland are either unmarried or married to wives not named Susan.

MURPHY, Owen Lodger Married M 50 1811 Labourer Ireland

I meant to say I couldn't find Owen and Bridget McQuaid on 1851 census.

Moving this topic to Scotland general, to make it easier to establish the basic Scottish details on these family to start the search off.
