Forde families in Calderbank

[Forfarian]

All three births were registered in Millstreet, County Cork. Bartholomew was born 3 April 1871, Patrick on 11 February 1874 and Timothy on 8 January 1884, all all Toorbona, Drishane.

There may well be other siblings, and possibly a marriage certificate and death certificates, at https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

Thank you Forforian, yes I do have all the Irish records, as I live near there. I am really trying to find any remaining Forde descendants in Scotland. There were 10 children in total. Some emigrated to Massachusetts. Charles had also been in Scotland before emigrating. It think their mother Julia may have emigrated to Scotland too, but I have not found a suitable death. Is there a graveyard in Calderbank, or would their burials be in St Peter's Dalbeth?

FORDE BARTHOLOMEW 49 GREEN 1977 562/ 203 Coatbridge

He married (Agnes Ann Grant), the same year his mother died.  If this was my search I would order the death registration and see if the informant was a son/daughter niece/nephew or sibling.  Then you search for that person.  There is a chance his spouse was the informant if so find her death and do same. 

There is also a marriage of a Bartholomew/Martha Shields Carr in 1977 Coatbridge (divorced in 2002).

You can also check the Electoral Registers for Coatbridge which is pretty much current.

Found this site by accident

This is what i have.

My grandfather was patrick forde born in calderbank married georgina summers (born 1908)
Patrick died in a steel works accident in London around 1938.
My brother thinks he knows where he is buried (Coatbridge area)
Georgina remarried, and died in 1997.

They had 4 boys, born early 1930s.
William died 1960's
Timothy (my dad) died 2002
Patrick died about 2004
David died about 2004

The Forde brothers lived in Hamilton/blantyre area about 10 miles from calderbank.

An earlier post in this chat explains why there were two Greens marrying two Fordes. I thought it was a duplicate of some kind!

My dad mentioned we had relatives in calderbank, which was how i found this post.

My dad mentioned he had an aunt Helen (Costello) who taught my brothers in Hamilton (they are in their late 60s now). Assume her name would have been Helen Forde.
