Have had some great luck lately in finding the family of Edward MORROW who wed Rachel MORROW about 1800 probably Donegal. I know some about Rachel from her Death Registration in Campsie, Stirlingshire, 1855, the first year of Civil Registration in Scotland. More questions were asked of the Informant that year than in any hear since. The Informant was a son, John MURRAY [name spelled MURRAY in the 1841 census, a few short years after they arrived in Campsie. Edward's parents were John MORROW and Mary BURNETT. An Australian Researcher and I met about a month ago online and have put together the children of Edward and Rachel who left Donegal for Campsie, Stirlingshire, then Glasgow. What I'm now wanting to find are Rachel's mother's ALFORD line. To date, finding any ALFORDs has been difficult at best. Rachel was reported to have been born Killymard and using her age at death, it would be about 1806. To add a layer of difficulty to the search, her reported father's name is the same as her husband's name....Edward MORROW. Have checked the earliest record I can find of the Killymard area, that would be the 1821 census included in the book 'Killymard, Ancient and Modern'. No ALFORDs are listed. Here is what the 1855 Death Registration had for her information. 1855 was the ONLY year the Informant was asked to give names and ages for all the deceased children, living or dead. And they wanted the age of the child at their death. A wealth of information. Edward wed twice more before he died 1877 in Calton, Glasgow. He and Rachel had 8 children, 4 born Donegal, 4 born Campsie. Advice for finding ALFORDs is what I'm now seeking. THANKS - Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma USA --------- 1855 Deaths, entry #7. Rachael MORROW, female, 49y born Killymard, Co. Donegal, Ireland. 19y in Campsie. Daughter of Edward MORROW, Labourer deceased and Margaret MORROW ms ALFORD deceased. Wed to Edward MORROW, Labourer.

I have no trouble loading Lindel's site from your link. However I did get that error months ago when I could not get to many links.

Hi Meg, The Alford name is interesting. I have an Elford line in Devon, England from the early 1800's that is mystery in my tree. I haven't made much head way but now I could how the spelling could changed or recorded wrong.

Margaret, I have an ex colleague in Derry who is not too interested in genealogy but who told me that she was somehow related to the Alfords of (and I cannot remember exactly where but I seem to remember it was near Letterkenny) in Donegal. She also told me that this family was very wealthy, there was a monastery there and that a lot of research had been done on it. Am I on a red herring here or should I try to contact her and at least get the name of the area from her? A quick google gives me Alfords in Skeoge, Pa of Burt, and I suspect these are the people to whom my ex-colleague was referring.
