Hello Murray My McErlean family came from Co. Antrim (I am not sure it matters on the spelling as before about 1880 "normal" people were unlikely to be able to read and write. Could you tell me a little more about your McERLEAN family. I have Maggie McERLEAN (my paternal grandmother) born 1878 Ardnaglass, Co. Antrim. Daughter of John McERLEAN and Elizabeth HAMILL. Maggie married Owen McCOMB and they lived in Belfast. It would be fantastic if we have another link. Also are you in touch with Vincent Garty from Wellington NZ who also has similar interests.

Nevin Thank you for these websites. As you will have already seem, I have passed it on to the BOYD@rootsweb.com Net group. Along with the message that there were two William Boyd 's on two of the ships. The Earl of Dunluce also rings a bell, but when I searched under that name I could not find the right family.

I am trying to locate a hospital where my great-grandmother died. The death certificate lists the hospital in Belfast but I cannot make out the name of it - the handwriting is too cryptic. She died in 1957. It looks like it could be: Lundysbum or Lundysburn - something with "burn" as a suffix. I cannot come up with any combination that comes in in Google searches. Does anyone have any suggestions? Have any of the hosptials changed their names since the 1957? How would I determine what hospital this was? HELP! Thanks Eireann

Paul: My great grandfather Andrew Robinson was for 40 years the shepherd and caretaker for the S. S. Owens, J.P. farm in Glenhead, Glenwhirry, County Antrim. This was for the years 1860 to 1900. I believe this S S Owens is the same Samuel Owens who lived in Braetown which was very close to Glenhead. I have he might have been married to one of my Robinson family. Hope this helps, Mike

Hello Murray, I am looking for both Lynn and Mooney, but I do not know where they came from in Ireland. Patrick Lynn born about 1835(father Simon) and Jane Mooney born about 1836(father John) came to England and married in Liverpool in 1856. I think they lied about their ages at their marriage as Jane age is 4 years younger on the 1871 census. They had several children but the boys seem to have died in childhood. Daughter Alice born 1857 married a Owen Murphy and Margaret born 1859 married a Simon Martin. I think the youngest son Peter born 1769 might have survived. That is all the information I have on them.

Like all too many Johnston/es I'm looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack with both of my hands tied behind my back. My interests are: 1. Francis "Frank" Johnston, b. ca. 1805 in Ireland, married Frances "Fanny" Hud ca. 1825 and went to Upper Canada settling in Prescott Co. ca. 1827. I believe that Frank and Fanny were married in Ireland; however, others claim that Fanny was born in Upper Canada. It's anyone's guess at this time. Oral family history regards Fanny with a chuckle - she was a "social climber" and told anyone who would listen that her husband was English...not Irish or Scottish. Frank was a successful farmer but died fairly young from a heart condition - in his early 50's. 2. Robert "Red Robin" Johnston, b. ca. 1807 in Ireland, went to Upper Canada ca. 1832. My gggrandfather married Mary "Mae" Frances McQueen. 3. Archibald "Archie" Johnston, b. 1815 in Ireland, went to Upper Canada ca. 1832 with Robert above who was either his brother, cousin or uncle - take your choice as oral family history is very divergent on this. We have no locations in Ireland for any of the Wee Three; however, various sources of oral family history have them coming from all over the island - Ballymena, Londonderry, Tarra, Co. Donegal and Co. Cork being mentioned. To make matters even more frustrating is that in the 1920's 2 of my Dad's aunts visited Ireland, found all of our Johnston kin buried (none surviving), made a journal containing their burial details, and now no one knows what happened to the journal or where the 2 sisters visited. Ca. 1905-1910 a sailor came to my ggrandfather's farm searching for a Johnston. He had been hired by a solicitor in Ireland. The last of our Johnstons had died leaving no surviving kin in Ireland and a small estate. He may have been a pub owner. My grandfather moved about this time to a better farm in Clarence Twp., Russell Co., Ontario, Canada, on what is now Johnston Road. I refer to the above as the "Wee Three" as all were said to have been tall with my gggrandfather coming in at 6'-5" - the same height as my son incidentaly. All owned farms in Upper Canada within walking distance of each other. Oral family history indicates that their father was born in Scotland, moved to Ireland, married, raised a family and died in Ireland - no locations though. Y-DNA testing has us as Danish Viking who settled in Scotland. A Y-DNA cousin has his Danish Viking Johnstones placed at Poldean (a large farm in Scotland) and as members of the Old Gang of Wamphray who fought successfully at Dryfe Sands. When Poldean passed from Johnstone ownership ca. 1743 the family seems to have split up and moved on within a generation or so. Most of my newfound Y-DNA cousins have their ancestors leaving Scotland about this time and going to England, Ireland, Upper Canada, and the U.S.A.. We have Y-DNA testing linking Robert and Francis but no oral family history. We have oral family history linking Robert and Archibald but no Y-DNA testing. Robert and Archibald are said to have come across with another family member who died during the voyage or shortly after landing in Quebec. We have no name for the deceased. I have had some very good luck in finding old family photographs and have restored some. The Johnston Family Album may be viewed at: http://www.pbase.com/cjmax/photo_restoration&page=all Robert "Red Robin" Johnston and Mary "Mae" McQueen had 16 children of whom 13 survived, and I'm fortunate to have photographs of Red Robin, Mae and 11 of their children.
