Family

From Joan Fisher July 2004:
Agnes married a Mr. Lafferty and had the following children:
DAVID Lafferty--his aunt's 1911 affidavit says, "Diligent search has been made for this son at request of executors by his brothers and other relatives by a member of Scotland Yard detective force London, England, and by advertisement in several newspapers in Scotland, but no trace of him has been found since leaving the insane asylum at Renfrew. He had attempted suicide once, and the family now believe he has caused his own death leaving no trace of the crime." The affidavit notes that he was unmarried.
ANDREW Lafferty in 1911 was living at 35 High Glencairn Street, Kilmarnock, Ayr
ALEXANDER Lafferty, in early 1911 he was living c/o A. Gibb, 673 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow and by August 1911 he could be reached at the Edmonton Bottling Works, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
THOMAS Lafferty, in early 1911 he lived at Station Cottage, Knoweside, Maybole, Ayr. His aunt says he moved in July and by August 1911 he could be reached through G.P.O. Bowenville, Queensland, Australia
IVIE Greig Lafferty lived in 1911 at Carnshatlock, Patna, Ayr.

I have just located your Gregg/Greig website and am quite excited about the fact there are others out there with connections.
I am an Australian currently working and living in the UK (just had 4 years in Scotland and now in Suffolk) researching William Lafferty who it seems was first married to Agnes Gregg and then it seems Margaret Swan Fleming. This is where it gets confusing as most of the children's details that I had been given as being from Margaret seem to use the Craig or Greig names - which would suggest they really were children of Agnes rather than Margaret. I am about to do some more research to clarify the info that had been passed to me some years ago.
In fact our line of descent is from Thomas Davidson Lafferty the son of William Lafferty. He married Elizabeth McBirnie and emigrated to Australia. As someone else's record says, at one point they were living at Bowenville Queensland. On your site I see mention to Agnes marrying a Mr Lafferty and having children: David, Andrew, Alexander, Thomas and Ivie Greig. My records show their children were John, William Greig, David, Hugh, Marion Anderson Greig, John, Andrew, Alexander and Agnes. The names Agnes, Ivy and Greig have been used extensively by our line which suggests more of a connection to Gregg than to Fleming. One female had Margaret Swan the name of Margaret Fleming......so I am going to have to go back to scratch to establish which children belong to which wife. Unless of course, someone already has accurate records.
I would be happy to share what info I have to establish Gregg/Greig connections.
