What about the town of Busby/Busbee in Scotland. My great grandfather was James Carson Busbee. Barbara >>> [email protected] 12/08/03 07:14AM >>> I am a Busby still living in Northern Ireland & have traced my own line back to Archibald Busby, b circa 1800 @ Tynan in Co Armagh. As you have picked up, there is a great concentration centred around counties Armagh, Tyrone, Monaghan & Fermanagh. Although I can find no proof as yet, this line is believed to have originated from Dover (England) in early 1600's settling in Caledon in Co Tyrone. Caledon and Tynan are small villages about two miles apart, one in Tyrone, the other in Armagh. The border to Co Monaghan is only a few miles from both, with Fermanagh about 20 miles west. It is believed the Busbys in these areas are all connected, but tracking is very difficult as the same names occur in most families. I have one family line running in the Ballygawley area of Tyrone, but cannot link them to my own. I would be keen to share any info on Irish Busbys.

Our line came from Scotland to the North of Ireland around 1626. Over the generations some moved to Australia, but I have no information on anyone going to America. Having said that there were Busbys who lived on the outskirts of Belfast who moved first to Glasgow and then went on to America. During this past year I have started to record all the Busbys in Ireland who are recorded under civil registration. My efforts are coming along nicely, but it will take me another year to complete stage one. My research to date has uncovered families in the cities of Dublin, Cork, also County Monaghan and in the North of Ireland. The biggest concentration of the name is to be found in the province of Ulster, north of the border. In relation to my own family I have one mystery I cannot solve. My own namesake George Busby erected a headstone to his mother Susanna Busby. She departed this life 19th Jan 1863 aged 72 years. Despite a great deal of digging and searching I have discovered nothing more on George. I must put this on the forum and see if anyone can help.
