Peter -
It looks as if you are the same person who started this thread in 2007.

Are you thinking that you have replied to someone else?
Or are you just coming back to your old thread and offering help to anyone who may have an interest in this family?

If the latter, it's not very likely that anyone will just happen upon this thread.
Clearly nobody with an interest in the family has done so since 2007!

Try "Search all member trees" under "Search" at the top right of this page.

Enter the name of anyone in your Glasgow family and see if there are any results. If so, click on "Find out more" beside the tree owner's name (if there are any other than your own), and send a message explaining your connection.

You may be lucky and get a reply!

Peter -
if you are hoping for help with your family tree, please state clearly what you want to know.
We'll be happy to help if we can.

Copying your first post again in what I hope is a more easily read way:

Descendants of ALEXANDER and ROSANNA (she died c23/10/1822)
and particularly their son THOMAS GLASGOW who was born in Lisnagaver c 1815 and died in 1870,
and his wife MARY ANN MCCRACKEN born in Carnfinton c. 1820.and died at Rasharkin in 1914.

They [ presumably Thomas and Mary Ann ? ] had several children :-

SARAH married CHARLES TAYLOR
PEGGY married. JOHN JEBB
ROSE ANN married ____ REDPATH
CATHERINE/KATE married BENJAMIN PHERSON ECKBURGH
ELIZA married JOHN HAIGH IN NEW ZEALAND
NANCY married ____ MCCAUGHREN
JANEmarried. ROBERT JAMIESON
ALEX - SUPPOSED TO HAVE GONE TO SOUTH AFRICA OR U.S.A
DANIEL married LIZZIE BOYD
Possibly had 2 uncles who lived in Kilrea and were clock makers.

Who had the two uncles? Thomas?
