    Default HALLIDAY 19th century

    My gg grandmother was Agnes HALLIDAY born around 1842.

    I believe her parents may have been John HALLIDAY and Elizabeth DICK (Elizabeth Dick were first&middle names of my gg grandmother's 1st born daughter (who was my g grandmother) and then of that daughter's 2nd born daughter)

    All I have from IGI data is that there was in fact a John Halliday married to Elizabeth Dick who had a son Robert born 8 Dec 1844 in Cambusnethan parish
    (IGI The source number is c116284)

    Family information has Agnes' siblings down as: Robert, John, David and Margaret. Some of these or their children immigrated to Canada (Quebec ...) and the US.

    Agnes HALLIDAY married James LEGGAT 2-Nov-1860 Parish Cambusnethan, county of Lanark, District 628 Lanarkshire Scotland.

    James and Agnes had 5 children in the Monklands before moving to (Harrington)Cumberland, Eng., where they had 3 more:

    Elizabeth Dick (my g grandmother) b. 1-Dec-1861 Old Monkland
    Jane Frew b. 10-Apr-1864 New Monkland
    John b. 16-Nov-1866 New Monkland
    James b 27-Aug-1869 New Monkland
    David Halliday b 30-Oct-1871 New Monkland
    Robert b. 1874 Harrington, Cumb. Eng
    William b. 1876 Harrington, Cumb. Eng
    Thomas b. 1878 Harrington, Cumb. Eng

    At least a couple of the LEGGAT children went to Canada, including my g grandmother, after she married James FERGUSON.

    A great aunt told me that the HALLIDAY family were connected Wishaw (whether originally from there or whether my g aunt knew of relatives there in the 20th c, I don't know.)

    Would love to hear from anyone connected to this HALLIDAY family to share info.
