I am presently researching my family tree and trying to confirm and obtain additional information. The family book indicates James Patrick Hayes born March 17 1800 in Dharwar India. Married Elizabeth Fermier, the daughter of John Fermier and Jane MacKay. The family book does not have JPH parent's listed and I would like to obtain the names of his mother and father to continue my research. The family stories indicate my ancestor's moved from County Cork, Ireland. A black and white picture of my Great Great Grandfather with his family, all appear to be wearing a County Cork Tartan. However, not sure and would like to confirm which ancestor and when they moved to India. Additional family data: (all born in Southern India) James William Hayes Snr - b. Sep 03 1823 James William Hayes Jnr - b. May 04 1845 Francis Richmond Hayes - b. June 10 1852 Ernest Richmond Corbett Hayes - b. May 14 1879 Sincerely, Gary Hayes Canada

The distinction between one tartan and another is dependent on color as well as pattern. And the fabrication of tartans associated with Irish counties is a very recent attempt at creating a new market for woolen material. -dja
