Searching for my many Irish ancestors

Hi Laurie

I searched rootsireland.ie for the births of Henry, Janet & Mary  & the marriage of Henry & Mary without success. 

I then tried for William Johnson born 1819 Antrim and got 1 match - William Jonson 1819

I couldn't find Henry' junior's birth but did find the marriage of William Johnson and Mary Carson - 1846 Antrim.

www.rootsireland.ie/ is a pay site so the records will cost but you will get parents' names and the parish of registration.

I searched for the Glenn clan but had no luck - those names sound very Scottish!

Thank you for checking. I've found some information through Ancestry but have hit a dead end. I'll also have to do some digging with the Glenn family...all info I've inherited says Ireland.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi Laurie

Not sure if we have been in touch on a different forum or not. I am related through the Carson / Johnston line. I have quite a bit of information on Ancestry, so you may have that information from there. 

I am interested in knowing which line of the Johnston's you are from. If it is Henry Carson Johnston (photographic artist), or from one of the others. 

My line goes through Henry's sister Mary Carson Johnston. They originated in Craigs, Antrim, and moved to Glasgow, sometime in the early 1870's to late 1870's. Henry, as well as his sister Jane, immigrated to Canada. William, Elizabeth and my great-grandmother Mary all died in Glasgow. The others, I am not sure about.

If you have any information, on any of them, I would love to hear from you.

As I stated before, we could have been in touch elsewhere, but I would still love to share information.

Thanks.

Hi Janice,

I believe I've actually used some of your information from Ancestry but I haven't tried to contact you or gone on the forums there.  I use my mother-in-law's Ancestry account (can't afford it myself) through which she lets me search my family's info as well as hers. Unfortunately there is so much info out there and I'm pretty new at the genealogy stuff that I get lost in the trees!

My line is through Henry, his daughter Jean/Jane/Jeanette, her daughter Jean Alderton (married Donald McAllister) and her son Donald Ian (my dad). I've definitely hit a dead end when it comes to finding info on Henry Carson Johnston and on the drama of his wife!

I would love to share information though there probably won't be much from me that you don't already have. The only new thing I was able to share on Ancestry was the copy of Lillis McKinlay's birth certificate that my dad ordered.

Thanks for contacting me, I can't wait to chat with you more!
