I have been searching for birth record for Thomas ANDERSON for a number of years. I believe he was born in Loch Aber in Scotland in 1836. His parents were Thomas Anderson and Ann Homes (or a similar surname). I believe that he had at least one brother called George. The family moved to Fermanagh, Ireland in about 1841. The only record I have managed to find is a marriage record for Thomas Anderson and Ann Homes. Thomas emigrated to Australia as a young man and died there. If anyone is also researching this person and can help, I would be grateful. Maxene :-) |

Birth records for Scotland are on Scotlands People however civil registation didn't start there till 1855 so you won't find a birth record for him. |

Thank you Shirley and Reggie. I know Scotlandspeople will not be of help. I did try family search but no luck - or none that I could find, anyway. I will keep looking. :-( |

Gins...this is amazing! I am wondering if he was born in Scotland and baptised in Fermanagh?? I have tried to find records in both Scotland and Ireland for so many years... Can I buy this record, do you know? |

Actually, Edit...I just checked my tree. I have his birth as Loch Aber, but spelt it differently. |

Lochaber is an area of the west of Scotland, not a loch. (I live there.) |

Gins, I have had another look...with my morning eyes on. That Thomas is not mine for several reasons: both parents' names are wrong and my family ancestors were Protestant, not Catholic. What I do find interesting in the record is that the mother was Kitty McBarron and the second sponsor was Biddy McBarron. Guess who Thomas married? Jane McBarron!!!! :-D |
