This is the only Rebecca George baptism on Scotland's People - but that DOESN'T mean it's the right one.
GEORGE
REBECCA
SAMUEL GEORGE/REBECCA REID FR416V2-2 (FR416)
F
19/08/1821
612 / 2
20 / 18
Newton On Ayr
IF that's correct, and IF they both came from the same area, there's this baptism of a Joseph Hunter - but note this is PURE SPECULATION:
HUNTER
JOSEPH
HUGH HUNTER/JANET PRATT FR2715 (FR2715)
M
09/05/1824
578
100 / 84

There is no parish record of them marrying in Scotland - which doesn't mean they didn't.
Also no record of them marrying in Ireland, at least per irishgenealogy.ie
Their children (or at least all that there are death records for on FS) :
Robert 1844; Joseph 1847-9; both born in Ireland.
William A 1856; John 1859; Maria 1860.; both born at Antioch, Lake, Illinois.

Presume married rather than say - brother and sister
If married, did they have children - their names may give clues ie naming patterns were quite common in Scotland / Ireland
Do you have the family on a census - when and where - can you post or at least give year, ages and address at the time

Welcome to Genes and the boards.
If the church burnt down then the parish records will have been destroyed. They may appear on a Scottish census but there is no equivalent in Ireland as they were destroyed.
Use Scotland’s people as suggested to find their births and hopefully their marriage.
Added: lots of Scottish Joseph Hunters in Search/ search all members trees.
|
|
Try looking for info on Scotland’s People website
Basic info can be seen without cost.
Which Church burned down?
Doesn’t the US Census record their birthplaces?
|

I am looking for any information on Joseph and Rebecca Hunter. Family history states that they were born in Scotland, about 1820, and migrated to Ireland. Not sure if Rebecca was born in Scotland or Ireland. Church burned down in Ireland and no records are available by standard search.
I have the passenger list for their move to the USA around 1852.
Thank you for any help.
