Hello listers I am searching for any McComb~Gordon information. Anytime from Scotland 1600s, all the way through a John Gordon McComb, wife Jane Gordon em. to US in 1755 (This John Gordon McComb is my "7th grandfathers cousin"). We ventured from Scotland off into Antrim Ireland somewhere between the years 1619 and 1710 (the life span of my 10th grandfather, 91 years old ), most likely 1680. They lived at Dunturkey, Ballymere, Parish of Ballymere Co. Antrim, 12 miles N. of Belfast on a farm rented from town. His son (my 9th grandfather) was a Linen draper also born in Scotland. My line was on U.S. land by 1732.(this is before there was a U.S. president) We came in through Delaware Maryland, had a brief stay in N.Y. then branched around to Cumberland Co. Pa, Derry Pa, Middle Spring Pa, and Lancaster Co., also whats known now as Jefferson County, NY. and some other areas. There were 7 brothers plus their father (my 8th grandfather) that came initially. History has confirmed 4 of them in America, my line included. Some McComb changed the spelling to Macomb, and later McComb(s) in some cases. Some went to Chicago and Canada, and some other areas.

I have an 1855 Scottish birth record for a relative and the amount of detail is quite extensive. Other years apparently do not give as much, so if you had to choose which one to spend your money on, that would be the best. Of course you can look at the microfilms quite cheaply at your local Family History Centre. If you could find the death records of your couple, you might find additional information that would help trace their parents. Good luck tracing your family.

Hi Chris, While in Ireland for the last two summers, I was told repeatedly that Co. Tyrone was the place to find Irwins. They did seem to be clumping there. If you look at the descendant chart below, you will see many Irwins immigrating to the U.S., especially to Lowell, Massachusetts. Many are buried in Edson Cemetery in Lowell. I know I have some information on the origin of the Irwine, Irwin name, but I cannot seem to find it at the moment. I do remember getting it as a result of an internet search. -- Diane Jameson, California Samuel Irwine b. 1802, Co. Donegal, Ireland d. 5 Sep 1880, Drumcannon, Co.

Thanks everyone for your help, I have just sent an email off requesting for more information on the birth certificate of my Grandfather William. I have asked for costs etc.... Many thanks guys Lynette ( in New Zealand)

P.H.Reaney "A Dictionary of British Surnames" ISBN 0 7100 8106 5 Gives Irvin, Irvine, Irving, Erving and Urvine as common with the earliest being Robert de Hirewyn 1226 Black. Also noted that there has been confusion with Erwin. Hanks & Hodges Oxford "Dictionary of Surnames" ISBN 0-19-211592-8 has quite a bit more information 1. Scots: Habitation name 2.English: Middle English roots. 3 Irish an Anglicized version of a Gaelic name. Also a very small entry in The Penguin "Diction of Surname by Basil Cottle.

Noelle/Lynette There are MacDougalls out here but we have many spellings of the name and many places in which and from which to look! I am in Prince Edward Island, Canada, (East Coast) and I have a MacDougall family history which goes back to the late 1700's but I don't believe we have any identifiable mutual family members. My ancestors came from the Western Isles of Scotland as best I can cipher at this time although I have been yet unsuccessful at tracing the family back cross the Atlantic puddle. IF you by any chance find any link which takes your family lines to Eastern Canada please let me know and we'll try to help to make a clan connection. Best of luck in your quest.

Diane, Thanks for the email! Even lots of files on my computer don't prevent me from losing messages. Sorry it's taken so long to respond. The only thing I know about the Irvin in my family is that her name was Mary and she was born abt. 1797. She married my ggggrandfather, John Magill and they lived in central Pennsylvania - around what is now Altoona. John was a farmer. John's father, Rev. Hugh Magill, was born in Co. Down and preached in Co. Tyrone. He was Presbyterian. As you can see, I know a lot more about his side of the family than hers!!! Do you have any information on the origin of the Irvin name? Thanks for taking the time to respond to my email.

Hello Diane, My Andrew RENNIE, born 1698 at Killen, Scotland, son of Andrew RENNIE and Jean COWPER, left home at age 18yrs and went to Gateshead, County Durham, N.E. England, where he promtly changed his name to RENNEY, married a local? girl and started a family and a new life there.He was the start of my Dad's , County Durham family, which is thriving still today. He was my 7X Grandfather. It appears his brother and sister did not follow his lead, they stayed in Angus and retained the RENNIE spelling. Regards, Pam Renney McKinley at Mesa, Arizona.

I am looking for the parents of John Kinloch Stewart who was born somewhere around 1842 in North Berwick, East Lothian, John married a Mary Ann Begg at Kirriemuir, Angus, on 15 June 1866. Mary Ann Begg was born at Kirriemuir about 1848 to George and Mary Grant, and died 4 July 1908 in North Berwick. John died at North Berwick 12 Oct 1920. _______________ David J. Sparks Edmonton, Alberta Canada

Hello Noelle I am sorry, I have very little information to go in regards to my Grandfather William MacDougall born in 1898. I do know his fathers name was Donald William MacDougall and he married a Mary McNeil (of course the spelling of McNeil, could be McNeal or ????? ) My grandfather came to New Zealand from Scotland and married my grandmother Margaret Alice Thompson I think roughly in the late 1920's to early 1930's. I never met my grandfather as he died before I was born. I was told his birth certificate was in Sommerset House in Scotland somewhere, but apparently this was burnt down during WW1 or WW2. Any help would be terrific. Lynette > Hello Lynette, > > I have one that is earlier: > > McDougal(l) / McDougald, Mary > b. Abt. 1819, d. Aft. 1877 > mar. SHIELDS, George > b. Abt. 1815, d.

Hello, Have traced my RENNEY Family back to ANDREW RENNIE born 1675, at Killen, Angus, and married to Jean COWPER [COOPER] born 1675, at Killen, Angus. Now I am stuck. Is anyone else doing this family? Would like to find Andrew's and Jean's parents and/or siblings.Have come too far to end up at a brick wall. Any ideas?? Regards, Pam Renney McKinley at Mesa, Arizona, via. Aldershot, Hants, England. Always looking for RENNIE / RENNEY.

Hello All, Since this surname is being discussed now, I'll mention my connection (by marriage.) Apparently the ancestor of my aunt's husband was a James CRUMBIE who left Scotland c1770 along with a sister. I don't know the sister's forename or married name. James went to the US (Philadelphia, PA) and the sister went to Nova Scotia, Canada. (I don't know if the sister was married at this time.) I know this is sketchy information for now but hoped someone (particularly in the US or Canada) might know of a connection. My family members are sending me more background so I'll be back when I know more. Thank you! Joan mccarron@ns.sympatico.ca 21 James Avenue Fall River, Nova Scotia Canada B2T 1H7
