Douglas Graham married Helen Eaglesham

RebeccaBone — 2008-03-03 19:49:49Z

I am looking for information on

Helen Eaglesham, born 1820 Ballochneil, Kirkoswald, Ayrshire. Father Robert Eaglesham, mother Helen Niven. Died 1891 Christchurch, New Zealand.

She married Douglas Graham in 1857, possibly in Springbank, New Zealand. He was born 1817 and died 1872, Christchurch, New Zealand.

I do not know if they had any children, and I don't know anything about Douglas' family.

Any information on these people, or the history of Christchurch would be great!
Thank you

John McAdam Eaglesham's parents were James Eaglesham and Charlotte Britton. Elizabeth Gordon McKellar's parents were Archibald McKellar and Margaret Clowes (m.1875).
Margaret Clowes' parents were Alexander Clowes and Elizabeth Gordon (my direct ancestor's sister) (m. 1847).
Margaret Clowes' sister Elizabeth married James Britton in 1882 in Girvan. Her brother John married Jessie Cumming in 1875 in Ayr. Her sister Mary married John Orr in 1872 in Girvan, and their daughter married Thomas McClymont in Girvan in 1897.
Connections span the generations, but I wish I knew more!

My Margarett Neill Eaglesham, (spelt Eaglesome), parents James Eaglesome and Annie Neill, born Jan. 27, 1859, Girvan, Ayrshire, father James a cotton weaver, lived on Dalrymple St. I have a faint copy of census sent to me from a connection I have just discovered, Margarett lived with the Neill's then. Margarett married Peter Alexander Aitkin, (born Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, 1852, parents Peter Aitken and Mary Jane Mackay. They married 11 December, 1889 in Blackall, in central queensland, australia, and amongst the children had a daughter Lilly Alexandrina Margarett Bell Aitken, (m g/grandmother), who consequently married an Albert Thomas Collins on 24 Dec, 1914. If there are any connections, please feel free to email me direct at jmccarrick@austarnet.com.au, as I have a hard time relocating board, (computer new). Bye, Jenelle.

Hello cousin Johnny:
it is at least 40 years since I last saw you. I am son of Jack and Josie, living in Toronto now. Tried to send you email but I guess you changed accounts. I know my mom and dad saw you at your parents funerals. Kids of James and Elizabeth were James, Bob, Hugh, Grace, Ann, Francis, Lottie and Jack. My dad youngest. Hope to hear from you. Do you have any genealogical info on family or old pictures?

I also have a James Eaglesham in my family. He was married to Elizabeth Rodgers. They came from Maybole to montreal, Canada in the early 1900's. Do you have any info that might help me trace them back.

Re: Crawfords in Maybole

mikerangers — 2003-07-21 04:44:20Z

My family on my mothers side owned Westfield from when it was built in 1896 or 1897 until 1998 when she moved nearer us. My Gran's maiden name was Dorothy Crawford until she married and became Forbes. Westfield was a large house in about an acre of it's own ground but now has 2 new houses on land which was previously its garden and Westfield itself has been turned into a lower and an upper flat.

It's a bit of brick wall
There are lots of Eagleshams around but it's finding their mutual ancestor.

If anyone is interested in finding out more about Kirkoswald you can find details on the Maybole website, at www.maybole.org.

Re: eagleshams in kirkoswald

2002-05-10 12:53:03Z

My great grandfather was James Eaglesham (b 28/10/1856) married to Charlotte Britton 26/11/1875, his father was James Eaglesham (b23/08/1818) married to Annie Cumming, his father was James Eaglesham born 1780/90 married to Janet McGaan. I don't know his father, but maybe his grandfather is also the father of Robert Eaglesham who was married to Jean McClymont.
I have details of three marriages who could be potentially his grandfathers :- William Eaglesham married to a Margaret Baird on 15/6/1717 , James Eagleshum (sic) married to a Elizabeth Greene, on14/4/1725 and John Eaglesome (sic) who was married to Sarah Mc Blain on 13/12/1726. The first two were married at Kirkoswald, the last at Dailly.
Hope this helps a bit.

hello liz

To which eagleshams are you descended from?

I can trace back to Robert E, born approx. 1730 and Jean McLymont. They had 7 children including Robert E who married Margaret Ross.

I have been reading the messages from the various eagleshams. I actually live in Kirkoswald in Ayrshire which seems to be the 'mother ship' as far as eagleshams go. I can trace my direct ancestors back to about 1780/90, but I've got as far back as about 1650. I've recently been researching my family history, and have a load of info about Eaglesham's, which I have at home.

Eaglesham

2001-04-17 13:04:10Z

Thanks for the reply. My Eaglesham's emmigrated from Scotland in the 1830's. So I have to go back to the G G Grandfather (John Eaglesham) level to get back to Ayrshire. My Great Grandfather was William Eaglesham (lived outside of Dunnville). My Grandfather was Robert Eaglesham (born in Hamilton, Ontario) and also resided in the Dunnville area. I don't know how all that matches up with your husband's family. It sounds as if they are from the same area in Scotland, but may have come to Canada at a later date.

Thanks for the reply. My grandfather Robert Coffer Eaglesham was born in Hamilton in 1880. His father William was born in 1850 I am told in Glengarry County (Alexandria, Ontario area). William's father John was from the Maybole area in Ayrshire and emmigrated some time in the 1830's. I am sorry I can't be more specific than that at present. Certainly your family is from the same area of Scotland and there could well be a link somewhere. I live in St. Catharines and my direct e-mail at work is reaglesham@niagaracu.com and atlantis@niagara.com at home.

I may be able to help in your search.
My grandfather was Dr. Hugh Eaglesham born June 3,
1873 near Clifford, Ontario. He was the son of
Hugh Eaglesham and Margaret Marshall, wed in 1854
in Ontario. That Hugh as born 1820 in Camregan,
Dailly Parish. He had a brother William born 1820.
He also named one of his sons William.
If this sounds like the right William, I have further
information back to the early 1700's.

My great grandfather was William Halliday Eaglesham born in 1850 in Ontario, Canada. His father was John Eaglesham, who emmigrated from Ayrshire in the 1830's. I have yet confirmed it, but I believe he was the son of John Agnes in your family tree. William had a number of brothers who moved to the Chicago and New York City areas in the late 1800's from Canada. Is any of this sounding familiar?

I'm sorry, I have no Margaret that could have been married at this time or any mention of a Peter. There is probably a link though as my family were also from Ayrshire, dating back to at least 1730

Hello Rob

We are descendants of Robert Eaglesham born 1772, married to Margaret Ross, Robert is the brother of James Eaglesham born 1765. We have traced the family through Robert and Margaret so would be interested to find out more about the descendants of James and Isabell, we have her surname as Hutchison, but all the other details are the same.

Our branch of the family remain in the UK, did most of James and Isabell's family emmigrate?

Thank you
