James Dunlop b abt 1820 Renfrew Glasgow Scotland, m abt 1841 to Margaret Morrison n abt 1821 Paisley

Have 1 confirmed child Hannah Dunlop b abt 1841/2, with possible brother Duncan and sister Agnes (unknown births)as

Hello Elissa

I would love a photo of my great grandfather's gravestone - thank you very much! I didn't think to look outside the church (how silly) when I visited the Estate last year. It was interesting also seeing where two great uncles worked as well as James.

Best wishes

John Boyd Dunlop is supposed to be a distant cousin. My Margaret Morrison was born 1810 I have her bible with all her children in it. She married James Dunlop, whipmaker, my gr gr grandfather. They lived in shankhill, Belfast. James' father was also James Dunlop whipmaker, his wife is Susanna Mcnaught, McNaght. They lived on gaol rode in Coleraign. I really would like to continue back on this family and find some living relative.

Re: John Boyd Dunlop Bushmills Co Antrim Northern Ireland

robertcarter1900 — 2011-07-18 04:53:11Z

I have a marriaqge certificate; Robert Dunlop married Molly Dunlop 13th Nov 1856. She may have also been named Mary!
Roberts father was a John Dunlop a blacksmith as was Robert.
They lived at Lisbelnagroagh.
Molly' father was a Samuel McAfee a labourer who lived at Coolnagar.
In the Griffiths valuation of Ireland in 1860 a John Dunlop was located at Drumnagessan, a John Dunlop at Lemnagh More and a Robert Dunlop at Drumnagee.
A James and a Robert McAfee were located at Drumnagessan,and also a Samuel McAfee.

Whether they owned, leased or just lived on these properties I do not know.
Their earlier history in Ireland I also do not know.
However your message suggests that they or a John Dunlop may have come from Scotland and leased a small farm.

please advise what sources of info you have.
Have you any birth, death and marriage certificates?
I can fax a map of the area which shows the locations of the places referred to above.
Respond by e mail if you are able.

Do any of you know if this John Boyd dunlop and the families you are discussing had any of the family who were whip makers.

I'm so stuck with my Dunlop family. The family trdition is that they are cousins of John Boyd dunlop. I do have James Dunlop whip maker wife Susanna McNaght/McNaught living on Gaol Lane ( Jain Lane) coleraign They children were born starting about 1800. and christened at St Patricks Church. They are also buried there. One of their sons left and came to Indiana. He ran a mercantile store in Perrysville. My line is another son, also named James who married Margaret Morrison. He also was a whip maker. They lived on Shankhill road in Belfast. James, 3rd their son born in 1833 followed his uncle John Dunlop and came to Indiana then on to Urbana illlinois. He was in the mercantile business and later became an attorney.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will share what I have. Just ask.

Thanks

Hi Bob

I am so pleased you have got in touch with me. I have done my mums family but just about given up on my fathers. All I know is the following: My father is John Dunlop born in Scotland 1933 Glasgow(no records bombed out). His father John Dunlop born 1914 killed in action Dunkirk 1940 he was married to Mary Robertson Young. His father was John Boyd Dunlop born 1880 Scotland, Died Scotland 1959. His father was John Dunlop 1850 to 1940 died Bushmills. Had a brother Robert I beleive. He moved over to Bushmills from Scotland and rented a small farm. Dad was only 7 when his dad was killed so not much information. His mothers side were irish though and some went over to Canada. Does any of this ring any bells with your search?

Re: John Boyd Dunlop Bushmills Co Antrim Northern Ireland

robertcarter1900 — 2011-07-16 09:27:21Z

I can probably help you.
My grandfather Robert Dunlop came to New Zealand from near Ballintoy which is not far from Bushmills in about 1880.
His father a John Dunlop lived at Lisbelnagroagh and Married Molly McAfee at the Croaghmore presbyterian Church in 1856.
There is a computer reference to a Dunlop arriving in this area from the island known as Arran near Scotland in about 1640.
There is a chance we are descended from this gentleman.
What information do you have?

Re: Scotland - Dunlop & Giffen Connection

aystokes — 2011-07-05 14:26:16Z

I see the confusion ... I'll send you the paragraphs relating to that question. There are differing opinions in the lack of documentation, but I think Rev. J.W. Giffins, D.D. (notice his is spelled with an 'i') gives a pretty good sketch of what happens to various lines that crossed over from Scotland.

Send me an email to remind me of this question so I can type later today. Must run several errands right now : )

Re: Scotland - Dunlop & Giffen Connection

jlpontius — 2011-07-05 05:38:40Z

There is a website with pictures of the Kilcolmkeil Churchyard which quotes the stone that John Giffen and Janet Dunlop erected for their children. Does the Giffen book say how Andrew relates to John Giffen? Does John's line go back to 1625, or even further?

Re: Scotland - Dunlop & Giffen Connection

aystokes — 2011-07-04 19:47:26Z

Just now I looked in the Giffen Blue Book (as family calls it) and sure enough, there is the documentation for John Giffen & his wife, Janet Dunlop [it says Janet], who had erected a stone in the Kiel Cemetery [maybe the Kilcolmkeil Churchyard, Southern Parish, Argyll?] in Kildavee in 1819. John was noted as a weaver (quite a few Giffens were weavers). The stone was erected by them in memory of two children they'd lost: John and Janet (just to confuse us, right?). There was more on the stone, but the researcher, Angus MacVicar, who wrote of his findings to Mr. James Breakenridge, a prominent citizen of Campbelltown, reports the stone was "very much sunk in the ground." He spaded away soil until he hit a coffin, then stopped. Nearby was another stone reading, "In memory of Andrew Giffen, who died 18th Jan., 1785, aged 71 years, and of Agnes Havie, his spouse, who died 28th Feb., 1787, aged 75 years."

Re: Scotland - Dunlop & Giffen Connection

aystokes — 2011-07-04 19:27:38Z

Have you found anything yet?

Re: Scotland - Dunlop & Giffen Connection

aystokes — 2011-07-03 19:27:34Z

Seriously? Jane Dunlop. I must've figured that out along the way in order to know about the Giffen connection to Dunlop cheese. But I thought it was a Giffen woman who had married a Dunlop, but I must be wrong. Will have to add this to my info. Thanks!

As for documentation back to 1625 in Ayrshire ...oh yes, there is LOTS of information. I now have a little tin of dirt from the land where they used to be. My husband had to tromp back into some weedy areas (at the direction of a great local person who knew all about the Giffen history) to find some ruins. I have some great pictures.

Do you want to email me at annystokes@verizon.net and I'll give more info?

Re: Scotland - Dunlop & Giffen Connection

jlpontius — 2011-07-03 04:58:54Z

You don't say so, but do you know that Robert Giffen's mother, he b. Kildavee 1743, was Jane Dunlop?Great cemetery in Kilcolmkeil Churchyard, Southend Parish, Argyll, has marker of two of their children (John giffen and Jane Dunlop). Can you tell me more about the documentation of Giffens back to 1625 in Ayrshire? Thanks!

Re: John Boyd Dunlop Bushmills Co Antrim Northern Ireland

AnnetteEdwards97 — 2011-05-01 18:10:13Z

Thanks for your reply not sure if the family I have found in Bushmills is the same one as you say it was a common name. I have found a John Dunlop who was a MP for the area at the right time but sure he must be from a different family and class I think. Problem is my father was only 6 when his dad was killed at Dunkirk so never really knew him at all. The history died with him. Just wanted to try to gather some history for him regarding his dad and his father. I know they were very poor in Bushmills and sure they were never registered anywhere. Once I find one person I am sure things will be so much easier even my dad is not found on any searches because Port Glasgow was so heavily bombed in the war.

Re: John Boyd Dunlop Bushmills Co Antrim Northern Ireland

Sixiron806 — 2011-04-27 16:22:42Z

Try tracking the Dunlop name in either Ballymoney or Ballycastle.The Dunlops originated from the Glasgow area and
I believe Kintyre and settled near Dunluce,Bushmills,etc.The
Boyd name is common in Ballycastle and Bushmills.JP

Hello again, Raquel, If you wrote in response to my suggestion in the last post, and have given your birthplace as Kansas, go to the top of this page, Click on Advanced Search. In the box for Author, type either kellyroad OR CadiListMom, time is Anytime, and Boards All Boards (top left corner) and this will take you to their postings. If you then click on the name of the post, it will show you the whole message. You can then read the messages from both researchers in turn and decide for yourself whether or not they would be able to help you. I think it is well worth a try if you tell them as much as you know. Good Luck. ThereseD73

Hello Raquel Marie Bretch/Rachel Leason, You don't say where you are writing from, but on the Message Boards in 2007, there were two researchers who were able to give some help in situations like your own. Their author/pen-names were "kellyroad" and "CadiListMom" who both appeared to be based in the USA and Canada and were able to find missing people for me. (The names I was researching were MARR and MASTERS). I thought if I passed on the names of these two researchers to you, they just might be able to help you if they are still researching.
Hope this helps. Best of luck. ThereseD73
P.S. Have you looked at the very early posts on THIS board? There is a Mike BRETCH making posts at about No 2 or 4 - somewhere right at the beginning and later on there was another one. ThereseD73

ChristineGarrett69 — 2011-04-16 13:06:38Z

Yes, you are absolutely correct re Andrew's parents names - must have had a 'senior moment'! Hope all goes well in Scotland for you - I found it very interesting visiting Langholm and seeing where Great Gran lived with her family. I also found my Great great grandfather's house in Middlebie and I promptly loaded the photos onto my computer only to have it vandalised by a virus so I lost all my Scottish memories.

As you say, we are obviously related in some way which is great for me to know because I was adopted so know absolutely nothing about my family other than what I have found on Ancestry.

Take care

I sent you a reply - we seem to have common ancestors but the names are a bit mixed up in regards to Andrew and Isabella.

I am visiting Scotland in Sept this year and will visit Dumfries-shire as I was told a family house from the 1800 is still standing there.

Re: AGNES LORRAINE DUNLOP

ChristineGarrett69 — 2011-04-16 10:48:24Z

Did I ever reply to your query re the Lorrain Family? I apologise if I didn't - my great great grandmother was a Isabella Lorrain who married an Andrew Frater in Langholm, Dumfries-shire and my great grandmother was Agnes Lorrain, born in Langholm in 1840. To be honest, trying to think back to the early 1800's without looking at my files is difficult (the files are not to hand at present) but if you would like me to do so then I would be very pleased to help. Basically the families of Frater and Dunlop centre around Langholm, Annan and Middlebie in Dumfries-shire. Again I apologise if I forgot you!

Kind regards
