Hello: From the onset, I understand which list I am on. I do some side line searches for others. A recent one is for Alexander Markham who suddenly appears in Antrim Ireland, quite easy to identify there, a Quartermaster in the army, at a printer in Belfast, connects to [Randalstown], [Cushendall], [Roseville, Greenisland, Carrickfergus], a CORONER of some note and well mentioned for this all over, his primary occupation for most of his life there. He m:1836 Sophia Hulbert Falloon dg of [Marcus Smith Falloon, (Rector Layde Church)] + [Maria Jane Wolseley]. AM dies about 15-07-1876 aged 79/80 years old and probably residing at [Roseville, Greenisland, Ireland], Roseville is the name of the property in Greenisland. AM is then b:1796-1797 or so. The real problem here is that whilst a fair amount is known about him, there is a complete lack of any further on him for any brother/sister, or parents, place of birth, just a complete void. He does seem fairly well to do, many of the people he associates himself with have Scottish origins, he marries and lives amongst people in the realms of clergy, military, and upper class Irish/Scottish persons etc. His one son [Alexander Macaulay Markham, Esq. B.C.S.] m:1861 to [Christina MacLeod], her brother being: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_McLeod_%28New_Brunswick_politician%29 Simply, all I am interested in at this point in time, is to know of any Alexander Markham b:1796-1797 in maybe Ireland, Scotland, or England, or elsewhere. I can’t find even one any where.... Any ideas ?. B.S. [!!!] ==============
Can't help with your AM because I can't access my data until I get a new genealogy program. Just commenting on a minor "across the pond" potential for misunderstandings. In the UK, the suffix Esq. is used to denote that the person is, quite simply, a gentleman. There was a time when it was used to denote a land-owner but more recently it has been used for all adults males as a courtesy. What may cause confusion is that in the US it denotes that one is a lawyer and has been accepted at the bar of one or more states. People from the US who are not aware of this difference may dismiss a possible connection because "he was not a lawyer so this can't be the right one" when it fact perhaps it is. Happy hunting!
