I have photos of Robert and "Auntie" Laing or Lang when they were visiting in PA from Rosebud Texas taken in 1925. I do not know Auntie's first name but I know she had a sister Bertha Seckinger Wille that she was visiting. I understand that they spoke almost entirely in German. Would like help in making the connections as Bertha came from Germany in 1881.

Laing/Lang Families

NMYLB — 15 Mar 2002 5:08:00 GMT

I have been researching my Laing/Lang Family for several years. The first members in this family I can definitely connect to mine are five orphans in the 1807 Gerogia Land Lottery. (David, James, Robert, Cornelius and Charles) The Lottery was out of Richmond County for the Baldwin and Wilkerson Counties. I have other members that are older, but can not be sure if these are older brothers of uncles. I was told, this family came from Scotland around 1760(?) through the Carolinas, but can not find proof.

The Laings from the New Jersey and New York areas have some of the same given names.

I have traced these five and a couple others, William H. and Harris down to Tattnall,Richmond and Liberty Counties of Georgia. Two of them settled in Liberty Co. ( James and Robert) the other three moved on down to Gadsden County, Florida between 1821-1830.

Some of this family settled in Terrell and Randolph Counties.

My direct line is Cornelius b. abt 1798 d. abt 1849, married Rachael Scarborough b. abt 1800. First record of them is the Screven Co. census.

If anyone is interest in any of the info I have collected or would be willing to share any information, please contact me at NMYLB@aol.com

Hello everyone, my grandmother's sister Margaret Coombs married Ralph Laing 1898 Sunderland. They were listed in the 1901 census at 47 Northumberland? I know that two of their children were Annie May and Ralph Watson. I notice that several people have asked about a Hall Laing in Sunderland. There was a Hall Laing (age56) in the household as a boarder at the time. It seems that just about everyone worked in the shipyards back then.Any connections? Yours truly, Tom Stevenson

Laing Family Research

Dan Laing — 16 Jan 2000 7:58:57 GMT

A number of us have formed a genealogical research site at MyFmaily.com. Those of you familiar with this service will know that MyFamily provides GEDCOM support and on line real time networking. We welcome all Laings of Scottish origin or descent.

We have recently recovered the Laing family tartan and are in the process of having it registered. The pattern (sett) for this tartan was brought with immigrants subsequent to the Jacobite rebellion in Scotland when the English defeated the Scottish at the battle of Culoden. Afterwards, the wearing of tartans was outlawed for a considerable period. Many Laings died in the rebellion, some few survived to be tried for rebellion and deported as conscripted labor. Yet others voluntarily left Scotland for the new world where they continued to weave the tartan for almost 100 years. We hope to soon have the tartan officially registered and made available from a recognized weaver.

Contact Laings@usa.net to joing the Laing family genealogical network.

Arthur E. Laing, b1867, Stockton, England, emigrated to US around 1916

caroleduff53 — 9 Nov 2007 7:05:25 GMT

Hi. I am new to this site and am hoping that somebody out there can help me to continue my search for my ggrandfather, Arthur Edwin Laing. He was born in 1867 in Stockton, England, married Agnes McCall in 1896 in Stockton. Arthur "skipped town" around 1916 and is believed to have emigrated to the USA... we do not know which state. He was a Civil Engineer and a Marine Engineer. I have checked passenger lists for Ellis Island but have had no luck in locating him...

If anyone has a similar family history, or if the name rings any bells, or if anyone has passenger lists for other ports, or if anyone knows if there are Marine Engineer listings.... PLEASE contact me!! Many thanks!

Laing - biography research

Oli_Jarratt — 2 Aug 2006 12:33:39 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm currently writing a biography of former British and European welterweight boxing champion Kirkland Laing, and am trying to put together a family tree.

Kirk was born in Jamaica on 20 June 1954. My research indicates he is the father of Angelo Kyle J. Laing, listed on this site as born Jan 1994. He also has a number of brothers, including Tony Laing (born in Jamaica on 22 September 1957), and possibly Peter Laing and Joe Laing as well. He was living with a "Linda", who may be the Linda Margaret Laing listed as born on 29 June 1955 who died in October 2004 in Nottingham.

I'm sure that Kirk had at least two more children, and that his parents would have died in the UK, having emigrated here from Jamaica. Can anyone shed any light on this, to help me get started?

Finally, just a word more about the book. It's a not-for-profit venture which I am funding personally myself. If I break even, profits will go to the Midlands Ex-Boxers Association (of which I am a member) to assist with their work in the Midlands community (such as helping former fighters who have fallen on hard times). A large number of former fighters and others from the boxing industry have already contributed to the book, which is scheduled for publication at the end of 2007. Any questions, just let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!

Kind regards,

Oliver

William Gary Laing, born 1886 in Scotland

matlaing — 15 May 2006 4:19:16 GMT

I am looking for any information or suggestions that will help me find information about William Gary Laing, he was born in Scotland in 1886. He immigrated to Canada in 1910. He then married Ellen Crozier in New Carlisle Quebec. My family thinks he was from the Edinburgh area? We know he had a sister Mary who stayed in Scotland, also faint memories think he had a brother who immigrated to the USA. He traveled back to Scotland to visit his family at least once after 1920.

I know that isn't a lot to work with but if anyone can help I would be grateful. Thanks Matt

Laing from Scotland to Canada

MaryGordonSmith — 11 Aug 2005 8:24:56 GMT

Trying to learn more about my ggg-grandparents, James and Christina Laing. Do not know her maiden name. Their daughter, Louisa Mae Laing was my gg-grandmother who was born in Ontario and married John Coleman Kalleen in Burlington Canada, in 1875. Census reports indicate the Laings were from Scotland. Marriage cert. says Louisa was born in Willington Square in Burlington. Have reason to believe she was adopted, but remained very close to her Laing family. Many of her family vacations were spent in Canada with this family. Would love to learn more about them. I have talked with many family members and noone knows of any other siblings.
Hope someone recognizes them and can answer my questions.

MEASLES KILL TWO IN A FAMILY.

Two children of Mrs. Emma J. LAING, a widow living at
209 May street, Chelsea place, have died of measles
within the last four days and another is dangerously sick.
Mrs. LAING, who is the widow of the Rev. E. W. LAING,
a Congregational minister, has lived in Chelsea place five
years. Her husband died last June, leaving six children,
ranging in ages from 14 years to 6 months. The children
attend the Chelsea school.

Two weeks ago one of the older children was taken sick
with measles. In a few days all of the children had
contracted the disease. Thursday, Ewart, 9 years old,
died. The funeral was to have been held at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but Manly, 4 years old, was so sick
that it was decided to postpone the services. At 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon he died. Gertrude, the baby, was
dangerously sick last night but the attending physicians
thought there was a chance for her recovery. The three
other children, two boys and a girl, are out of danger.

The funeral of the two children will be held from the home
of their mother Tuesday afternoon. They will be buried in
one grave in Quindaro cemetery.

In the last thirty days, 210 cases of measles have been
reported to the West Side board of health, but only one
other death has resulted.
