I'm looking for any leads for the family of John Carroll (1836 -
about
1908) who moved from Ireland to Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland, probably in the
1850s, then to the US in the early 1880s, with the family mostly ending up
in Charleroi, Washington County, Pennsylvania.
The oldest document I have is for the November 7, 1861 wedding of "John
Carrel" and "Mary Jane Shiels" in Rutherglen, Lanark, Scotland. John is
listed as a coal miner, age 25, son of Patrick Carrel, laborer, deceased,
and Ann Curley, deceased. Mary Jane Shields is listed as a power loom
weaver, age 22, daughter of Patrick Shiels, coal miner, deceased, and Susan
Murphy. The officiating minister was John Shaw, and the witnesses were
Thomas Friar and "Ann Carrell" (may be John's sister).
John Carroll and Mary Jane Shields had 13 children. At least 12 were born
in Scotland. John, Mary Jane, and most of the children came to the US in the
1880s, briefly lived in Illinois, then in West Houtzdale, Clearfield County,
Pennsylvania, then Charleroi, Washington, Pennsylvania, and finally some
also moved to Pittsburgh. John apparently died between 1901 and 1910. Mary
Jane Shields Carroll died Feb 8, 1923 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Here's the list of children:
1. Patrick Henry Carroll b. Aug 31 1862 Bathgate, Linlishgow, Scotland; d.
Dec 26 1916 Chicago, Illinois
2. John C. Carroll b. Dec 24 1863 Dalry, Ayr, Scotland; d. Mar 6 1927
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
3. Thomas Carroll b. Nov 16 1865 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. unknown
4. Francis S. Carroll b. Jun 19 1867 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. unknown,
probably Columbus, Ohio
5. Ann Carroll b. Jun 23 1869 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. unknown
6. George Carroll b. Jan 8 1871 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. Jan 8 1871
Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland
7. James L. Carroll b. Jan 12 1872 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. unknown,
possibly West Virginia
8. Michael Aldin Carroll b. Oct 29 1873 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. Feb
25, 1941 Charleroi, Pennsylvania
9. Susan Carroll b. Jun 14 1875 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. unknown
10. Mary "May" Carroll b. Jun 7 1877 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. unknown
11. Rosina G. Carroll b. Sep 21 1879 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland; d. Oct 30
1949 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
12. Andrew Carroll b. Sep 21 1879 d. Apr 13 1880 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland
13. Nancy Ella Carroll b. unknown d. Aug 25 1932 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Family lore says the Carrolls were from County Offaly, but I've not found
any documentation to support that. I also don't know if Patrick Carroll and
Ann Curley died in Ireland or made it to Scotland with John and Ann (the
witness from the marriage record).
Thanks for any help!
