Are you suggesting a different route for Close family that is protestant?
My family - David Closs and Agnes Ferguson - came from Scotland (born in
Ayr, married in Lanark, left from Glasgow) in 1850s and I can not track
anything more on them. They settled in Tucker County, West Virginia.
Thanks for any suggestions ... I have been told Closs/Close is not a
Scottish name and possibly his grandparents (according to his death record,
wife said his parents were also born in Ayr) or earlier emigrated from
Ireland or Wales but I have nothing more to go on.
Thanks,
Pam Woolcott

Hi,
I'm new to this list and I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I searching for Thomas CLOSE who died at Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1865 aged 64. His obituary claims that he was late of Newry, Ireland. Thomas had a daughter Eliza and sons James and John, there could be more, I'm not sure.
Is anyone researching this family? I would love to hear from you if you are.
- Brenda, Victoria, Australia
