Hi - Many thanks for taking the time to look out the name McCreight ! However I did go onto the Scotspeople Site and did find the James McCreight & family at ( whom you have in your list below) Uphall , they were in the correct area but as you say no David ! however after countless variations of the surname I struck lucky with McReight ( not how Davie spells it nowaday's) they were also in Uphall, the oldest son Thomas was born 16 Sep 1871 in Carmoney Co. Antrim but the next child John was born Livingston 22 Aug 1873 so they obviously moved to Scotland between those years - Davies grandfather also David was born at Uphall 1877 , just to mention the parents to the children above they were yet another David McCreight who died 1910 aged 60 & Isabella McCaulay however I find the IGI a bit patchy with the Irish records. They were also using the name William in those families , which apart from David was another name being used in connection with Jeremy Irons , McCreights . Thanks again !
