I would appreciate any help or guidance on finding more about William Pollock, and his family (parents, wife, children). He was born in Kileevan, Monaghan on 3rd Oct 1827. His parents were:
- George Pollock (born 1 Sep 1798 in Ireland) and Elizabeth Mahon (born 3 Mar 1799 in Kileevan, Monaghan). George and Elizabeth supposedly left Ireland in 1843 to go to Scotland.
On 28 Apr 1854 (do not know where), William married Margaret McCormick (born 13 Jan 1837 in Scotland). Both William and Margaret died in the US. They immigrated from Scotland on the ship Columbia, arriving in New York City on 9 Jun 1871. Their first eight children were born in Scotland (Isabella, Elizabeth, George, Margaret, Sarah, Anna, Jennet, and William.)
There are so many George and William Pollocks - I don't know how to sort them out to be certain I have the correct ones when I look at the records. But I hope to find the records/copies to verify any information I can about them before they came to the United States.
I love visiting the graves of all these Pollock ancestors and am blessed that they are buried not far from where I live.
Thank you for any assistance!
