Find Ancestors

You may get the result in census, birth, deaths. Among Scotlandspeople records

Elaine, I don't know where you live but if you can manage to visit the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, they hold the Poor Relief Records. These can be very usueful when tracing Irish ancestors who cam to Glasgow. They often give more information than can be found elsewhere. Do remember that often people claimed because they needed hospital treatment and were no longer able to work. For example the family maybe have had to make a claim in 1907 when Robert died. Hope this helps and good luck with your research.

I am new to this and must say I am rather impressed at how helpful your replies have been...thanks again all.

Thank you all for your replies and input...Lizzie Ohara's mother is definately Annabelle McKibben as I could see that on Lizzie's marriage certificate ..Thank you Maura, I can now add siblings to my great grandmother's side.

I have just discovered that I am actually the 2nd cousin (through Lizzie Ohara) of a family friend who's son was the best man at my daughter's wedding 3 years ago. A very small world indeed.

There's a tree on ancestry that has these people in it, they have Robert O'Hara sr. dying 1907, plus the have the name of the Annabella parents.

I believe that her birth registration can be found here:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c=fs%3A1408347
An index of Ireland civil registration including births, 1864-1958, marriages, 1845-1958, and deaths, 1864-1958.

For anyone of Belfast ancestry, it is well worth looking / posting here -
http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/

There's a death on Scotlandpeople for a Annabella O'Hara nee McKibben 1897 Bridgeton estimated year of birth 1845

Morning Erin, right found these births for children of Robert O'Hara & a Ann/Anna/Anabella McKibben/McKibbin all born Belfast.

William James 1865
Anna Mary 1867
George Alexander 1869
Edward 1871
Eliza 1874
Robert 1876
Agnes 1878

Robert O'Hara married Anna McKibbin 27th November 1864 in Knockbreda C.O.I. Belfast Co.Down

Robert & Anna father's name is George

births & marriage on www.ancestryireland.com

Have found an Annabelle McKibben b Belfast to Thomas McKibben and Anne Wallace but that is abt.1860...possible for Agnes but not for dob of Lizzie..!!
"Maura" needs to get in on this one...she can find a needle in a haystack..!!

Now that does look good Eringobragh! I do think that the mother was probably Anaabelle give that the son Robert seems to have named his daughter Annabelle.

Thanks for the above rootgatherer........ Have found the following however no other children found....as yet.....There cannot be many Annabelles but Elaine doesn't say where she obtained that info.....

This looks like her brother Robert living with her married sister Agnes in 1901. Could the parents have died or returned to Ireland? Have you looked on Scotlandspeople for possible deaths for them? Agnes's marriage certificate should say if they are deceased. On here it doesn't say if Robert (Junior) is a widower but that looks like his child Annabelle?

I have drawn a blank finding information about my great grandmother Lizzie O'Hara who was born in Belfast c1873 to Robert O'Hara and Annabelle (?) . At some point they moved to Glasgow where Lizzie married my great grandfather, John Cruickshank, on 25/8/1891

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Elaine
