Anyone know anyone with the name of Macoemac or Rafferty?

Thanks

I have an Elizabeth Kelly(ie?) who married Daniel Rafferty c1900

There is a Susanna Rafferty in my family tree, she immigrated from Ireland & her parents name were Daniel Rafferty & Mary Muirhead. She married James Brown in Girvan in 1857, if thats any help/relation.

I note you have a Mary Muirhead married to Daniel Rafferty.
Do you have any more info on Mary as I have several in the family and am seeking marriage details.

Hi there,
Unfortuantly I have nothing other on Mary Muirhead & Daniel Rafferty other than they had a daughter called Susanna & were from Ireland. I do'nt know if they imigrated to Scotland with their daughter, but she arrived before 1857.

Hi, I've just discovered this post- James Brown & Susana Rafferty are my G-G-grandparents. I am very keen to know more, especially James' origins and Susanna's in Ireland.

Hi there, unfortuantly I havn't found anything further on James & Susannah's history before 1857. I have tried lots of different websites but had no luck so far. They are my G-G-G Grandparents. Their daughter Maggie (Margaret) is my link. She married John Wilson in 1883 (from memory) & then immigrated to Australia & then on to New Zealand in the early 1900's where my great grandmother Elinor was born :)

Hi, thanks for replying- I wasn't sure after 2 years I'd get one!
I have a little more info pre-dating 1857 which I wasn't sure about but your posts confirmed them. It would appear through census reports that Susanna came over from Ireland as a toddler as she features on the 1841 census in Girvan; the birth year is out slightly as it lists her as 3 ( I know census reports aren't as accurate as they should be) but her parents are listed Daniel (c1816) & Mary (c1811)and there is an older brother, Thomas (c1868) all born in Ireland. Daniel is stated as being a stone mason, they also mispelt Rafferty as 'Raffardy' hence the confusion. Unfortunately it doesn't say where in Ireland they came from but looking at the immigration routes it's more likely to have been the north.
As for James, we have a uncovered a tenuous link from the 1851 census reports fromm Stockport- we believe he changed his name to 'Aglicise' himself and his original name may have been 'Cronin' which means Brown. It is very speculative but we followed the 'cotton weaver' link (this was his profession on the 1861 census for Girvan).He is likely to have come through Dublin on his journey to England.
My link is through James' & Susanna's son Thomas (1868-1917). Thomas had 3 sons, Thomas, Archibald & James and a daughter Elizabeth. James was my grandad and was born in Liverpool(1902) although they returned to Scotland after he married my grandmother (who was born in Fife).
I really didn't think I'd get anywhere with the 'Browns' but am amazed at what I learned in such a short time- although I'm not sure how my mum will cope with her Irish roots when she always been so proud of her Scottish ancestry!
Are you still in Australia/ New Zealand- it's quite nice to have a link albeit a very distant one!

Hello Mcanlen,

I think your Susana Rafferty, came over from Ireland, to Girvan, Ayr, along with her parents, Daniel Rafferty, and Mary Muirhead, and there is a good chance Mary Muirhead's, mother was with them.

I take it you got Susana's, parents names from her marriage certificate 1857. to James Brown, in Girvan.

Regards,
Jonn.

Can I ask what the Macormac interest is?
