Found him in Jersey (channel Isles) in 1861 and 1881. He must have been in East Indies c1847/9 (2 children born there). My distant link to him is via his daughter Johanna who married Joseph Andow.

Sorry I cannot help you with your James AIRTH 1792-1853 but I do know that he was NOT the s/o Adam AIRTH + Elisabeth GARDNER.

I tried to figure out whether this William might have been the brother to Sgt Henry AIRTH but his brother Wm was born 1798 so that's out of the question as he would have been only 9 years old :o)

I did find a possible marriage for William born 1798 to a Catherine ROSS in Edinburgh but as of yet, have nothing to confirm it one way or the other!

MARRIAGE

I have a son William AIRTH for Wm AIRTH & Marjory STEWART bpt in Inverness on Dec 07 1819.

He married Janet HARVIE on Jan 30 1849 in Barony, Lanark.

Greetings!

My name is Keith Manning and I am a direct decendant of Eliza (Airth) Love (older sister of Hannah (Airth) Couch). I guess that makes us distant cousins. I've read most of your posts and have found them very informative. If you are interested in corresponding let me know. I can be reached at: manning_keith56@hotmail.com.

Re: Re Henry Airth

Re: Airth in Aberdeen Scotland

J_Airth — 2005-09-25 06:35:51Z

Hello Margaret,

I am descended from William Airth (1815-1880) who was born in Aberdeenshire and his father was William Airth who was s/o John Airth who was s/o Alexander Airth. I really feel that the Airth's in Aberdeenshire are some how related. I would be very interested to know if your Jean or George Airth might be related to mine. Hope to hear from you soon.

Jeff

Alexander Airth, b. Aberdeen Scotland, 1825

J_Airth — 2005-09-25 06:35:51Z

Hello Airth's,

Still looking for a Bruce Robertson who might have info on an Alexander Airth, b. in Aberdeen in 1825 and came to Canada then to Michigan. Bruce Robertson posted this info on rootsweb RSL list - but he his e-mail is inoperable. Anyone have any info? (Alexander is my gg grandfather's younger brother).

Kind Regards,
Jeff

Hi Howard,

I see your message from 2001 and looked up in my database and yes, this is the same Henry Airth born Sept 11, 1878. I too am descended from this line. You mention 8 children. I only have 5 listed in my database. If you still get this message I would love to share any info I have.

Parents of Alexander Airth & Margaret Edmond

JenniferWoodside58 — 2005-04-25 16:12:56Z

I am looking for the parents of Alexander Airth who was married to Margaret Edmond (Edmound). Alexander was born late 1600's. I only know of one child, also Alexander Airth who was christened Dec 1700.

Re: another Airth descendant

JenniferWoodside58 — 2005-04-25 16:12:56Z

Hi Kathleen,

I too am a descendant of Sgt Henry Airth, but of his daughter Marion Park Airth (younger sister to your Henry Airth). Marion Park Airth had a son, William Jamieson, who had a son Henry Jamieson, who had a daughter Ivie Mae Jamieson, who had a son Norman Jamieson Grace, who is my father.

I too started researching my line about 6 months ago or so and find geneologists the most helpful people anywhere. I have very little information on your line but would love to include it in my research. I have quite a bit of research on my line if you are wanting to extend your search. I personally am trying to get as far back to the Airth's that actually lived in Airth Castle and am getting there but seem to have hit a road block. Like I said, researchers are the most helpful anywhere and I have gained a lot of information right here on the net.

If you are wanting to share info, please contact me, either here or personally at my email address.

Re: Airth

JenniferWoodside58 — 2005-04-25 16:12:56Z

So far I have not found a connection to my line with this individual however Iam keeping the info in case someday I find one. I have the brother who moved to Australia, his name was William.

Alexander (b. 12 October 1863, d. 1932 in Byron, USA) married a woman by the name of Margaret Farley Laing (b. 8 June 1867). They had two children, Alexander and Mary. Alexander emigrated to the USA on the ship "City of Rome" on 6 November 1891.

Alexander's parents were ALexander Airth and Ann Orr.

Hope this helps with some leads for you.

Re: Parents of Alexander Airth & Margaret Edmond

2003-10-10 12:00:55Z

Jennifer ~ Alexander & Margaret also had these other children in addition to Alexander 1700:

Christian bapt Dec 25 1690
Elizabeth bapt Feb 16 1693 / died bef 1705
Anna bapt Oct 31 1695
Margaret bapt Mar 17 1698
Bessie bapt Nov 08 1705

All were baptised in South Leith, Midlothian.

Alexander and Margaret would have married abt 1689 so would be born in the 1655 - 1665 range. I have found 2 people that could fit the bill and have added them temporarily to my database, but I have no proof as yet to confirm them either way :-(

Re: Robert Airth born 1815, Scotland

2003-05-09 19:00:44Z

Hello Kathleen,

All I know about William Airth is that he was married in 1807 at Blair Atholl to Marjory Stewart. I haven't found a birthdate or any pointers to where in Scotland he came from. Sgt Henry Airth has a very well researched family & so far I don't have a link, but you never know in this game!

Re: Robert Airth born 1815, Scotland

kathleen5757 — 2003-05-03 04:11:51Z

Hi Sian!

I wonder if this William Airth is the brother of Sgt Henry Airth? Unfortunately I don't have any other information about that William except that he was born about July 1798 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland the son of Adam Airth and Elizabeth Gardner and had 3 brothers and 4 sisters (Henry 1786, Adam 1787, Isabel 1789, Jean 1793, Elizabeth 1794, Janet 1796, James 1801 and Isabel 1803). Does any of this match information you have?

The only information that I have for a Robert Airth b 1815 is that he was born Nov 19 1851 in Horton Twp, Renfrew County, Ont. and that he died apr 24, 1889 in Renfrew County, Ont. Are his parents David Airth and Margaret McLaren Beauchamp?

Does anyone have a link to Robert Airth b. 1815, married to Isabella McKay? I have only found 2 sons Alexander b.1839 & Andrew b. 1864. As these dates are far apart & because Robert was a soldier, I hope there are some missing children.

Re: Parents of Alexander Airth & Margaret Edmond

2002-12-01 01:37:24Z

What luck that I cked this site today!!! I do wish that this was true, as for being one of the missing sisters, but I do think that these sisters were born appx. 1860 or earlier up to maybe 1870, I'm going on the birthdate of my GrGrandfather. As by the time he immigrated to USA, he was appx. 36 and had two children at that time, after the family arrived in US they had 10 more children, of which 4 died shortly after birth.
Maybe your Grandmother is a child of one of the sisters, do you have any info. on your Grabdmothers parents?? The name Schuler is not familiar in our Airth history. Please let me know if you aquire any other info. and I will do the same.
It was great to get an answer to my message!!!

Re: Parents of Alexander Airth & Margaret Edmond

greg_schuler — 2002-11-30 23:52:55Z

Hi there- I am just starting my research, and this is one of the first sites I have visited. What luck!! My grandmother was an Airth, I believe from Sterlingshire (though I am not sure). What I know about her right now- She was born in 1899, her maiden name was Airth, her given name was Kathleen and she emigrated to Canada and bore 4 sons, Jim, Frank, Toby (or Tobias maybe) and Ernest. Husband was Jacob Schuler, died young of stomach cancer in or near Edmonton, Alberta in the early to mid 1930's. From your description, sounds like she may be one of the unknown sisters? Hope this helps.

Re: Parents of Alexander Airth & Margaret Edmond

2002-11-14 01:57:09Z

Hi, I also have an Alexander Airth, (dob-1863) being my GreatGrandfather, his father was also Alexander, (dob-????, married Ann Orr) NO middle names, seems to be many Alexanders, w/ no middle names, GGfather, married a Margaret Farley Laing (dob-6/8/1867, father David Laing, mother Catherine Hardy) in Scotland around 1888 or 9, immigrated to USA 6/11/1891 w/ 2 children, Alexander (3rd) and Mary. From birth, baptizm records they lived in and around County of Forfar, Parish of Kinnell near the town of Airth. There were 3 sisters left in Scotland, no names at this time, hearsay has it that one brother immigrated to Austraila anf other was killed in the building of the "Tay Bridge" over the Firth of Tay", Edinburgh. I have been at this for 8 years w/out success, and am at the point of paying for research, as my time is limited. This may help you somewhat, if you have any other info. on your relatives, send it on. Thanx!!

BobCampbell50 — 2002-09-28 20:00:34Z

I am a gr-gr-grandson of Elizabeth Airth, sister of Sgt Henry Airth, who emigrated to Canada about 1825, settling in Renfrew County. His sister Elizabeth Airth and her husband James Halliday came out about 1849, also to Renfrew County in Ontario. I have been told by Dallas Manicon that an Airth descendant now in Scotland has contacted her. I would be anxious to learn more.

Airth in Aberdeen Scotland

2001-02-08 15:35:30Z

Hi Bob. Have you ever come across Jean Airth who lived in Aberdeen and was born ca.1760? She had a brother named George Airth. That is about all I have to go on. She was the mother of my ancestor John Connon and named the father as Alexander Connon but they were not married at the time of Johns birth in 1781 near Methlick.
