Hi, I have a Sarah NEIL born? 1863. She married James CASSIDY in Lanark??- Their child Elizabeth (Lizzie) Cassidy married my husband's Great Grandfather, John DRINNAN of Tarbolton, Aryshire, Scotland. Just thought there may be some connection?? Have not found the Marriage Cert. as yet.

Patrick Neil, 1813-1863, born somewhere in Ireland, married Mary St. John, Ireland Had two daughters, Mary Neil, 1847-1897 and Ellen Neil, 1848-1871. Mary Neil married Joseph Ferguson, Lanark approx. 1870 Ellen Neil married Joseph Elliott , Lanark, 1868 Partick Neil may also have had three sons, but no conclusive proof ; Richard Neil, Peter Neil and James Neil. The "James" might have been a member of the 78th Regt or Seaforth Highlanders at age 19 in 1854. Have photo, but no last name.
