My name is Jessie Meaklim but I am trying to trace Jane Forsyth, believed to be related to RW Forsyth of Glasgow and Edinburgh. I can give you some info on RWF's family but am a bit incapacitated at the moment as I have just had a cataract removed from my eye a few days ago and not seeing too well. Will be happy to hear from you in 2 or 3 weeks. I have been on this quest for a while. Said Jane Forsyth is my Grandmother.

I am hoping to get some information about William FORSYTH, my husbands GrGr Grandfather. We believe that his father came from Elgin but we don't know, where William was born neither the names of his parents. We know that he married Mary Wallace, who was born in India about 1800. William himself died in Dublin in 1888, 90 years of age, which gives me a lead to the year he was born! I know a lot about his life in Ireland thanks to the Librarian at the Public Works in Dublin. >From about 1845 he was appointed Assistant Engineer to the board being involved in Drainage Works and Bridgebuilding and he retired in 1874 as Chief Engineer. But where he was born and where he spent his early life and gathered all the experience and knowledge as a Civil Engineer, we do not know. I have found a marriage on the IGI between a William Forsyth and Mary Wallace Inverness 26th December 1818. I have had the Microfilm of the Church register on loan but all it says is: Forsyth William Forsyth Mason and Mary Wallace ( No date of birth, names or occupations of their parents ) I know this is like looking for the needle in the haystack but having spent about 4 years researching dear William, I feel that I have to try and take this one step further.

My Forsyths originally came from Scotland, and DNA places quite a bit of Scottish blood in my veins, though the most 'ancient' ancestor I'm aware of lived in Ireland. Exactly when the family left Scotland for Ireland is unknown. Here's what I know of my line: George FORSYTH was born circa 1762 in Ballymageogh, Mourne Parish, County Down. Around 1787 he married a Mary PATTERSON who was born circa 1766. One of their children was John FORSYTHE, Sr. His birth took place in September of 1788 in the same locale as his father. On 9 May 1813 in County Down John married Elizabeth McKINLEY. She too was from County Down, having been born there in March or May of 1790 to William and Jane THOMPSON McKINLEY. John and Elizabeth sold their 6 acres and set sail for Allegheny Co., PA in 1843 with their 10 children aboard the ship "Georgianna". The family eventually settled in Wapello County, Iowa, where John died in Nov. of 1853, and Elizabeth in the spring of 1873. One of their many children was John, Jr. who is my direct ancestor. He was born 31 May 1820 in Ireland, married Ellen PERRY (the possible daughter of James & Mary Perry) in autumn of 1849 in Allegheny County, PA, and he died 7 Dec. 1858 in Wapello Co., Iowa. The date Ellen left this world is unknown. My line of descent is: George Forsyth, John Forsythe, Sr., John Forsyth, Jr., James E. (Ellsworth) Forsyth , Leland Roy Forsythe, Audrey Forsythe Birk, Karen Birk Weatherford Thank you everyone for your time!

We hope to include many helpful elements for the public to view. Currently one of the major projects in process is a comprehensive games listing for all 50 US states. In future, we hope to be able to add an International games listing.
