Classification: Query
Surnames: McGinty, Fulton, Fosson, Fossen, Hamil, Danogh, Donagh, Henderson, Hendry, Darroch, McGuigan, McGinley, McGee
Below is information we've recovered from a family Bible passed down through McGuigan and McFadden lines.
I am working hard to try to make the connection between the names in this bible and those in our family tree. I know they are connected, but I think we have enough sure information in our tree that we can conclude that many of these lines are directly related to a sibling of one of my direct ancestors (assuming McGinty and McGinley are interchangeable at that point.
If anyone has any information about any of the names in this list, I would be greatly appreciative for any gaps you can help to fill. Most of these people were born/lived in Pollakshaws, Renfrewshire, Scotland. But I know that at some point the Bible traveled to America (probably with Mary Ann McGuigan (my g-grandmother). Some of these names were born in county Donegal and moved to Scotland for work (near Glasgow).
Specifically what I am searching for is the connection between any of those listed in the Family Bible and my g-grandparents:
John McFadden
b. 25 Mar 1881 in Feymore, Donegal, Ireland
m. 1908 to Mary Ann McGuigan
imm. 1911 to Philadelphia
died near Ambler, PA in 1950s?
Buried at St. Anthony's in Ambler, PA
Mary Ann McGuigan
b. 1885 in Eastwood, Renfrewshire, Scotland
m. 1908 to John McFadden
imm. 1912 to Philadelphia
d. between 1920 and 1930.
