Roxborough Family

Thank you very much.  I know that they were in this area for at least 100 years, probably came from Scotland I think as they keep going over the border.  I found the census before but it is hard to bring the family up to a point where any of them would be living, but thanks for the idea on the voter's roll.

Any other suggestions, feel free :)

Thank you very much.  I do use family search for most of my research, and it is fantastic.  I just have trouble when you have 2 William's & you don't know which child belongs with which William.  I wish they had other census available as that would take us right back lol  I do appreciate your time & Roxborough is unusual enough.  I think it is also spelled Rosborough as I have come across that spelling & have assumed it is the same family.  What do you think?  It is online, the parish of moneydig church registers.

Thanks for all your help, and any other suggestions don't hesitate to send them as I'm open to try.

Hi Andrew

Awesome to meet you.  I've sent you an email from a hotmail.com account & let you know that you do have relatives in Canada :)

I'm very interested in the family & would like to exchange photo's & info if that's ok with you.

This is a great site & I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, I am a Roxborough by birth.  My Grandfather was William Roxborough.  I believe we are from the same line of Roxboroughs.  Yes, my grandmother was Jane Dempsey and when she died William married a much younger woman and she is my Dad James Roxborough's mother.  Please get in touch with me, my brother and I are merely trying to fill in the gaps, we have a photo of Williams third wife with some of their children including my Dad, taken after William died.  I know when he died and really want to help you too.    

Hi Catherine,

you have a lot of relatives in  N I.

My grand mother was Rachel  Roxborough and as previously noted she did marry William John Gilmore on  3/7/1900  a farmer from 9 Mullan Rd Kilrea Co Derry. (It is still my family home)

They had three childern, Nellie,  Robert (Bobby my father)  and Mary.

Nellie married Sam Alexander who lived on the next farm and had nine childern (six still alive) Bobby married my mother Jennie Thompson from Aghadowey, had five childern all alive, and Mary married Alex Smyth, had two childern (one deceased).

I don't know any of your earlier family history other than what you have discovered, but  it is of interest that my grandfather (William)  his sister Mary married Robert Kyle they had two sons (William and Thomas) and Thomas seems to have inherited your family farm. They were in fact related thru Rache, a point i had overlooked earlier.l

Hope this is of interest my email is albert48@tpg.com.au   I live in australia

Regards

Albert Gilmore

Catherine, I am a Roxborough by birth.  Another lady suggested I put more details on this site, on reflection I had better not publicise the information I have, it is not only personal but astonishing and if you can email me on myblackbubba@mail.com (name comes from my beautiful black dog).  I'd be happy to share with you as I need to know the connection and sure you would also.  Cheers, Sheila (nee Roxborough).  I am doing my family tree on both sides, came to a halt with my dads side but Ive dug deeper lately and come up with things that need confirmation.

Hi,

I'm Ady Roxburgh and am related to William Roxborough through his brother James... (both having Richard as their dad). Im also doing the family tree and am happy to share !

Best Regards

Ady
