I am looking for information for Samuel Blair and his wife Elizabeth (Eliza) Hamilton McAteer. 

Samuel and his wife migrated to Scotland between roughly 1872 & 1874 and died on 30/3/1883.  He was born circa 1843.  I am trying to locate marriage / birth records for them or any information on his siblings.   I have Birth / Death records for their children some of whom were born in Doagh Grange Ballyclare therefore they would have been living in that area prior to 1872.  (Blair Children Children: William, Robert ?, Isabella, James Magee, Samuel, Annie, Mary, John)

I am also interested in locating information on Samuel's father Thomas Blair and mother Isabella McGhee (Magee).  Birth/Death/Marriage.  I found a Thomas Blair who died in Doagh Grange (Born circa 1808, Died Doagh Grange 1875)  I have no way of identifying if he is the father of Samuel or if he is a relative.
