Daniel Maxwell Nithsdale Born 1754

Hi Sue,

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, given  the early birth date you may not be able to find a record of Daniel?s birth as the reality of finding documentation pertaining to births/baptisms/marriages/deaths in Ireland prior to 1800 ? particularly in rural areas ? is that they simply may not exist. It may be an idea to contact the East Galway Family History Society to see if they can be of any assistance, however please note that a fee may apply. Here are their contact details:

Hi Sue,

Have stumbled across your enquiry. Daniel Maxwell Nithsdale was my 3x great grandad too. I am descended from Charles elder brother Daniel. Sarah Anne Milligan was Daniel Snr's 3rd (think thats right) wife. He had lots of children.

I have tried without success to find a record & concrete evidence of his birth. I have been in touch with Traquair House, home of the Stewarts, closely related to the Maxwells. Also Hull university who hold a lot of Maxwell and Stewart records.

I am going to attach an email from Katherine Miller which will be of interest to you and an extract from her grandfather's notes. I no longer have all 8 copies of the typed family tree she refers to. I only kept page 3 which shows Daniel jnr's children and marriages. Katherine will I am sure email you copies.

The two brothers moved to Yorkshire and lived next door to each other (again sadly have not kept census copies!!!!) in the Hunshelf/Ryhill area near Wakefield. My forebears lived next door to Daniel and his daughter Jane married the boy next door, Thomas Crawshaw, my great grandfather. As you say, Charles was killed in an accident at Wortley iron works. if you do not already have it, there was a newspaper report of the accident and you should be able to find this on the internet. He is understood to have gone back to the works to retrieve some tools he had forgotten.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi,
I don't know if this may help in tracing the Nithsdale ancestry but Daniel Nithsdale was my Great Grandfather.
I am the Grandson of Mona Nithsdale who was one of Daniel's five children.

My Grandma was born in Thurgoland and my Great Grandfather worked at Worley Forge as a Roller.

The Nithsdale family address was 2,Moorland View,Thurgoland,South Yorkshire UK.

I do have infomation which is too long to list here but I do know that there is a link with William Maxwell Earll of Nithsdale as my Great Uncle who became a professional Actor once told me he had researched the family history.

Please contact me on davidwindle@icloud.com if you would like to follow things up.

Best wishes,

David
