Places of interest
I’ve spent the past couple of weeks, tying up loose ends in my research. Of which there are so many! And also reflecting on the places that were the birth place of many of my ancestors. Here are just a few places of interest to my family history and the surnames associated which each place.
WALES
Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire – Taylor and Lloyd
SCOTLAND
Glenshiel Ross-Shire – Morison
Lanarkshire – Louden
IRELAND
Inver, Donegal – Boyle
Kilkenny – Ireland
Cork – Ahern
ENGLAND
Bedfordshire – Waters
Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire – Izzard
Gamblingay, Cambridgeshire – Waters
London – Jones
Kent – Lowe
Steeple, Ashton, Wiltshire – Cox
WEST INDIES
Jamaica – McEwan/McQueen
As you can see, most of my acestors originate from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Except for the Jamaica connection. My great great grandfather, Thomas James Jonathan McQueen was born in Jamaica, but his father was born in Scotland.
