Hi Lorraine,
I didn't find James Margam and Annie Thomson Birrell marriage online, I have a series of letters written by both James in the US to his father in Maesteg and visa versa, In one of the letters home James writes of his marriage to Annie. They were married on the 25 April 1882 on Capitol Hill, Leadville, Colorado, by the Rev. T.J. Mackay, Rector of St. George's Church, Leadville, Colorado. Witnessed by Miss Maggie Thomson and Mr. Andrew Robertson.
If I didn't have these letters, I'd doubt that he married, he's a real mystery after 1882. His sister Catherine Margam also went to the US, married in Canada, and died in Globe, Arizona in 1919 - don't know if that's any help?
Kind Regards,

ShelleyRose

Hi Lorraine,
Many thanks for getting back to me with the Margam Family info, yes this is the James Margam I'm looking for, and Moses K. Margam was one of his brothers.
Yes I believe that James Margam surname was mispelt, I think it was down as Margan. I've been unable to find him or his wife Annie after they got married.
I'm really grateful for any info you can find about them, as I've been searching for years.
Kind Regards

Lorraine, thanks for the info about Richard Rowlings. We think it is the right person as he was in the navy and he also lived in Clapham.

Take care and best wishes Jennifer

Many thanks Lorraine, all that info is taking me forward quite a bit, hope your Father is soon feeling better, thanks again.

Hi Lorraine,
I don't know if you're still doing look-ups? If you are could you please try to find my (elusive) ancestor James Margam, b in Maesteg, Wales in 1847 he went out to America where he married Annie Thomson Birrell (b. in Fife, Scotland), married in Leadville, Colorado in 1882 they had a dairy farm. I believe James possibly came back to the UK in 1893 from N. York, arriving in Liverpool on the ship Majestic, I can't find him from here on, any info you can give me on him and Annie would be greatly appreciated, as I've been unable to trace them. I did wonder if he went back to the US?
Many thanks.

Hi Lorraine, Many many thanks for all that info, any info you could find on the children would be absolutly great, I know the niece Susan Knight, came home, I have all the info on her, but nothing at all about Andrew's children, many thanks.

Sandra

Can you help me find my two aunts who emigrated to Canada. One aunt is Mary Archibald who married a Canadian soldier around 1945 In Edinburgh. His name was Peter Storeshaw. Mary went to Canada with their small daughter (also Mary) in 1950. I believe they settled in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

I have found 2 people on Facebook who could be their other children, Jim Storeshaw and Debbie O'Neill. I sent them messages but they have not replied.

The other aunt is called Beatrice Archibald born Edinburgh 1927. She followed her sister to Canada and I know she married but have no other information.

I am not looking to contact them if they do not want me to but I would like to be able to show them on the family tree.

Thanks

jennifer

Thank you so much for your time, he was elusive as you can see.
Maybe he changed his name.
