I dont mean taking photos of Headstones or going to Libraries I mean help with research on internet searching for Sources, with these areas in which i am familiar with.

Hi Andrew. There is a Lancashire in England and also a Lanarkshire. I have  not heard of Lankishire in Scotland. Is this the correct spelling. Will do some researching and will get back to you soon.

Healey-268

Hi Andrew Do you Mean Lankishire in Scotland. is the word Lankishire spelt correctly. Sound like youve been doing really well tracing your grandmas side. You surely must have spent some time doing researching as thats alot of descendants. Will do what researching i can certainly know what you mean about a brick wall as ive got a couple of them.

United States World War| Draft Registration Cards

Name William John Milligan

Event Date 1917-1918

Event Place Northampton County no 4 , Pennsylvania, United States

Birth Date 27th December 1895

Birthplace Glasgow
William John- Machinist stated on Draft Card

<ref> "United States WW1 Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918." database with Images Family Search [https;//familysearch.org/ark;/61903/K6VY-KHX; accessed 8 August 2015, William John Milligan, 1917-1918; citing Northampton County no 4, Pennsylvania, United Sates, NARA, microfilm publication M1509 [Washington D.C; National Archives and Records Administration.n.d.

Seen Actual copy on Family Search .org his address on Card is 21, cant read rest sorry, Bethlehem, Pa. Hope this helps. Will keep looking for Birth if you agree this may be a match.  

Healey-268 Susan
wow i think you found some great info thank you so much i have some earens to run will see if i can get on that site when i get back if you could send any info to me i would appreciate it greatley .. teetime43@yahoo.com
i do agree

  thanks again

hi Susan i think you found him im still searching records,i would say you found him for shore but on that site they have a william milligan Glasgow, Scotland born 1897 but dosent say lived in pennsylvania .so if he is english why does it say born in scotland its weird 

Hi Andrew. I do think that is him, hard part for us is finding him in Birth Records. You are the first person ive helped do any research for and it was scary cause im not that confident, but feeling please that ive helped just know wot its like feeling stuck.The website i found him on is Family Search.org it is a brilliant site do go on it. I will put full Draft Card Source/citation up for you later. I think that when a record states abt 1897 it gives one room to maybe look at other dates not many years a couple.. Not very good at Geography so cant explain much about places I think Glasgow may be in or near Lanarkshire, Scotland. Its looking like he was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Cant do much research at mo but will when i get back.Think his Birth Date must be 27th December 1895. Ill say again im no expert but to get the correct Birth date helps alot. Speak soon.

Healey-268 Susan

Hi Andrew Just been on Fam Search.org and seen 1930 and 1940 Censuses John William Jr.and yes he appears to be born in 1918. That make me think that your source above  could be William John Jr.

Looking to me like youre really good at this researching and just like me you enjoy doing it., keep up the good work  but dont forget to stop for cups of tea hahah. Speak later

Healey-268 Susan
Thanks
Hi Andrew Which Birth date are you working on for John William Senior.

I cant seem to see anything in Scotland in 1897. Do you think he could have been born in England and maybe lived in Scotland. Let me know wot u think

Healey-268 Susan
Hi  Been Thinking Just a suggestion put a blog on G2G here on wiki or Family tree circles about John William Snr's Birth and see if it helps there are some really knowledgeable people out there, Just a suggestion, that is sometimes the only way to move other than researching for hours. Its just that with Scotland and England being mentioned, im unsure of where he was born.. Hope you dont mind me suggesting this. Its ok if you dont.

Healey-268 Susan

i cant find anything EXACT ether. ive been in contact with members of milligan famley in scottland and england nothing matches up. the one with same exact b-day -and birth location died at birth.uuggg!!!!!.    ive been doing his b-day 1895-1898 and 1897 alone i have serchd evry single know grave that say milligan nothing. i like the blog idea i wil give it a shoot,THANKS. i did find some thing neat about the milligan matreark tho 

 

Today at 12:26 AM

this is the farthest back i could trace WILLIAM MILLIGAN BLOOD LINE
>>>Sorley Boy MacDonnell, Irish Somhairle Buidhe MacDonnell (born c. 1505, probably Dunluce Castle, near Ballycastle, County Antrim, Ire.—died 1590, Dunanynie Castle, County Louth), Scots-Irish chieftain of Ulster, foe and captive of the celebrated Shane O’Neill.

From an ancestor who had married Margaret Bisset, heiress of the district on the Antrim coast known as the Glynns (or Glens), MacDonnell inherited a claim to the lordship of that territory; and he was one of the most powerful of the Scottish settlers in Ulster whom the English government tried to bring into subjection. He took an active part in the tribal warfare between his own clan and the MacQuillins and, by defeating the latter at Glenshesk in 1558, acquired the lordship of the Route. He was now too powerful to be neglected by Queen Elizabeth I and her ministers, who were also being troubled by Shane O’Neill. Elizabeth aimed at fomenting the rivalry between the two men and came to terms sometimes with the one and sometimes with the other. Shane O’Neill defeated Sorley Boy near Coleraine in 1564; in 1565 he invaded the Glynns and at Ballycastle won a decisive victory, in which James MacDonnell and Sorley Boy were taken prisoners. James soon afterward died, but Sorley Boy remained O’Neill’s captive until 1567, when Shane was murdered by the MacDonnells at Cushendun.

After the massacre of his family by the English in 1575, Sorley Boy made a successful raid on Carrickfergus and reestablished his power in the Glynns and the Route. His position was further strengthened by an alliance with Turlough Luineach O’Neill and by a formidable immigration of followers from the Scottish islands. In 1585 he regained possession of Dunluce Castle. Elizabeth’s representative, Sir John Perrot, reluctantly opened negotiations with Sorley Boy, who in 1586 made submission. He obtained a grant to himself and his heirs of all the Route country between the rivers Bann and Bush, with certain other lands to the east, and was made constable of Dunluce Castle. For the rest of his life he gave no trouble to the English government.

Hi Andrew, Thats some info youve got there really interesting, I will probably have to read it a couple of times to understand it,its fascinating though isnt it youve done really well just to find this info, sounds to me like you know what youre doing.. .Glad youve decided to put a blog up , maybe put one on both sites if you wish just feel that this name is a tough cookie to find. Ive put so many blogs up and had some amazing results. Think your so right about the birth date 95 to 98 nothing concrete to go on i dont think. Speak at a later date.Still sayits like looking for a needle in a haystack

Healey-268 Susan

hi so i think i might of found him

 if i could find a birth certifacte the hand wring on the cencus is a dead match for the

 wedding certifacate what do you think?
I am really unsure, when you say handwriting do you mean his signature, if so then i suppose its a possibility. Seeing as the above 1940 Census William is married to Beatrice. Then you must have dismissed William and Rose I,on the 1920 Census is that what your saying.

Healey-268 Susan
Heres another site for you to try FamilyTree Now I use it all the time in fact ive Just been on it and found William John Snr in the 1920 Census it states he was born abt 1897,It also States that His mother and father was born in Scotland. That info helps as at least you know he definitely was born in Scotland.It states Rose was born 1900.

Healey -268 Susan
no he and rose were married but rose passed away very young.i was told by my mom when my grandpa was in germany  ww11 he got wounded and at the church he was reciving help at. god willing he ran into his sister i belevie her name was lilyth .but i do feel stong and the hand righting he has the best signture iv ever seen in all 3 loooks alike.but there is a gentil men on famley search who has found

Andrew,if you look at the other Milligans that arrived on the same ship in 1913,there is certainly a John born  in  1868. There is a Helen Milligan aged 42

In the 1901 census  a John Milligan b in 1868 is living with his wife Nellie b in abt 1871 (Nellie is often used as a shortened form of Helen)They have a son William aged 4.

John Milligan age 34 b West Kilbride

Original data: Scotland. 1901 Scotland Census. Reels 1-446. General Register Office for Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland.

On the same boat as John, William and Helen are several more Milligans who may or may not be related included are a Mary aged 22, a Helen aged 18 and a Margaret aged 10.(all a bit out but possibles)

Personally I would follow up all the Milligan names from that boat and see if I could find them in the US 1920 census.

You can also look up the Scottish 1911 census on this site http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=554&2064

I haven't used it as I have no Scottish ancestors. It seems to say that you can do a surname search after registering but you have to pay to get access to the various records. 

Edit I checked one of the Milligans called Sadie as it is an 'odd' name and found this for the 1930 Census for Bethlehem, Northampton, Pennsylvania, United States

 Ellen Milligan is head, along with children George, Janet, and Margaret (boat passengers also included a George and a Jeanie)

They also appear on the 1820 census for Bethlehem Ward 9, Northampton, Pennsylvania, United States along with Arna aged 17 (Margaret?) Say it with a thick Scottish accent!

I'm looking for information on my Kenyon ancestors? I know of many of their wives and children, but not about any more ancestors, with the "Kenyon" surname in the region, where it originates.

Here's the details of three of the men that I know of:

* Robert Kenyon (Kenyon-667)
  Born 1805 in Shaw, Lancashire, England
* Robert Kenyon (Kenyon-640)
  Born 1837 in Shaw, Lancashire, England
* Charles Kenyon (Kenyon-629)
  Born 2 Dec 1860 in Staleybridge, Cheshire, England

Do you think you can help Susan?

Cheers

Bob Kenyon

Hello,
I was wondering if you could possibly help with my search? I don't know much about my father at all, I don't even know if he's alive. I am trying to get a more complete look at my lineage like his parents and further on back and have been honestly trying to find out since google first came out (roughly 15-16 years). I have barely made any progress in all that time! I have some medical issues but with 50% of my background missing it has become difficult for my doctors to know what to look for. 
I know that his name was John Bingham(SP?), he was a local DJ/possible local TV Anchor/occasionally was the Manchester City announcer circa 1985-1994? He was ten years older than my mum, so approximately at the age of 62/63 now. My mother believes that his parents passed away before she met him in 1988/1989 and does not know whether or not he has/had siblings. (I was born 7/7/89 at St. Mary's in Rusholme) The only things that I found (and that's if i found the correct person) was that in 1994 he moved to Florida. (I found an article in my grans house before she passed last year in Chorlton that mysteriously vanished shortly after) I moved to america and was only 300 miles away from him about year later, 1995, without knowing. I vaugely remember my mum showing me the article where it said he was moving to florida back in 1994/1995. According to the article he moved back around 2000/2001.

I understand that this is totally not much to go on and I'm not even sure if you're still responding to this thread, but thank you anyway :)

Hi Elle, Looking like this is not an easy one as i am no expert. But ill give it a go. After just looking on Family Search.org came up with the name John H Bingham born in Salford, Manchester, Lancashire, England in 1952. States that his mothers Maiden name was Booth.... Is there any possibility this could be him, if so will put details up for you. Ill still keep searching and let you know any more i find.
Hi Bob so sorry i not responded just that ive not been doing much family research for a while as i have been busy doing other things. Ill certainly try and help with your search...please give me time as it takes a while. Once again sorry for not responding

Hi Susan, any assistance you could provide on helping me find more information about Eric Wright?

 

He married Marion Wright (Wright is Marion's maiden name too) in Ashton under Lyne around November 1940, and subsequently had 3 children with her, but that's all I know of
Susan, only just seeing your reply, sorry! That year does sound about the right time!
Hello Susan,

I am hoping that you are still providing help in Lancashire research. My grandfather, George Richard Holahan, is said to have been born in Manchester in 1858 (+/- 1 year). His father was James Holahan and mother was Ellen Howard, both born in Ireland. I have looked through the English BMD records and can find no reference to his birth and would like to know if you have any additional resources that could help.

Thank you,

Peter Holahan
Hello I'd like help with my Manchester lineages especially the Marr family who I assume came from Ireland. Gillian Byrne might know more but I'm not sure.

Hi Michael, I dont think i was very clear with my offer of help, I really meant researching as in Sourcing and helping to find info on internet., more than feet on the ground ie Photographing headsones and going to Libraries. Can i adjust my offer is so Sorryto mislead you.

Hello Susan

I really think that your offer is still as good as Michael suggested. Don't under-rate the importance of the internet searching. It can be time consuming and you may have access to sources that others may not. In both cases, to people with little time, or without access to those sources, your assistance will be fantastic.

I think perhaps you feel that it has less value than foot-slogging. Internet searches can be of immense value and will often lead to new avenues of research that a gravestone may not, and will almost certainly mean that the person being helped can narrow their search in terms of identifying archive repositories.

So, dust yourself down, pat yourself on the back and believe it - your offer is well made and will be gratefully received! smiley

 

Did I forget to mention - as a local, your knowledge of places will be of immense help too. People in British Columbia may not realise that the story they heard about the great aunt Agatha walking daily from her home in Eccles to nearby Rotherham is probably false!
Thanks John, Suppose i did think it was less of an offer, didnt really realise in the first place that id worded it all wrong, as still learning. Youve made me feel alot better and i surely do understand more now Thanks. Who know why we think like we do sometimes gusee its just being human. Also understand about peopl not knowing my area of research so true
