Robert Buick

jennysamways — 2012-04-28 10:55:58Z

My great grandfather was born in Ballymeena, Co Antrim in 1867.He married Sarah Newitt in London 1899 and fathered a daughter Sarah(my grandmother)born in Oct 1900. I believe he never saw her as he was a merchant seaman. He died in a lunatic asylum in Avondale,Auckland, New Zealand in 1902. Does anybody know anything more about him, paricularly his ancestors?

Hi Mfaria :)

We are researching James Henry Buick born in Angus, Scotland during November 1863.

Does anyone know anything about his parents and other relatives?

Some people have posted that his mother is Ann Brown Buick.
Others have posted that his parents are Duncan and Della Buick from St. Andrews, Scotland.

Thanks!

Re: Buick Place : researching Buicks in Arbroath

mfaria87 — 2011-03-04 23:38:09Z

Yes - we have traced the lineage to Mary Ann Lumgair and Ann Brown Buick... Elizabeth Brown may explain her middle name.
Thanks for the info! Currently I am just doing the 14 day trail, so my capabilities on the site are limited.

Re: Buick Place : researching Buicks in Arbroath

nightingalejanice — 2011-03-04 06:28:59Z

Yes and maybe no.... Your family line is descended from William Buick x Mary Ann Lumgair. I suspect (but have never been able to prove) that your William is the granson of my ancestors William Buick and Elizabeth Brown. This is conjecture only. Your William 1797-1861 was (I believe) the son of Peter Buick and Jean Watt (would have to check his death cert to confirm). My William had a son Patrick ch.1771 (born, married and died before statutory registration). BUT, back then Peter and Patrick were entirely interchangable, Peter simply being the anglified form of the Celtic Patrick.
So that's my theory.
Anyway, do you have ancestry membership as there are a couple of reasonably extensive family trees posted there for your Buick family.

Re: Anyone out there interested in Buicks?

mfaria87 — 2011-03-04 04:31:26Z

This may relate to your lineage and if anyone can help me fill in the blanks that would be great!

Ann Brown Buick (born 1835, died 1909) was my Great Grandfather's mother - my great grandfather is James H. Buick. He was born in Arbroath in 1863. At some point he came to the US and settled in Vermont. He died in 1916 of Tuberculosis after marrying Rose Lassor and having 9 children, the youngest being my grandmother. My cousin who is doing the research has also linked a Mary Ann Lumgair as Ann Brown Buick's mother.

Please send me any insight should this link to your research!

Thanks,
Mel

Re: Buick Place : researching Buicks in Arbroath

hello!

My family recently discovered the following lineage:

My Great Grandfather was James H. Buick (born 1863 in St. Vigeans , died 1916 in VT, USA)
His mother was Ann Brown Buick (born 1835, died 1909)
Her father was William Buick (born 1797, died 1861)

James was traced back to St. Vigeans, Angus Scotland and Arbroath, Angus Scotland

Different James Buick - but from similar areas?

I am looking for the biological parents of Lela Vivian Buick (my grandmother), born April 22, 1900 in Hartford, Missouri, death November 1, 1993 in Bend, Oregon. She married John Wilmer Yelton. I have her parents names as William Jefferson Buick and Ella Corneley Little. I have no supportive documentation for these names and I'm suspicious because I can find absolutely no information about any of these people. I know that her parents divorced so I am not even certain of her birth surname. Any information would be helpful.

My grandmother, Corneilia Stewart Buick(McGuire), told me that we were related to David Dunbar Buick (1854-1929) the American car manufacturer who was born in Arbroath, Scotland. Are you aware of any s- a connection?

John Buick and Janet Wilson Robertson were my great grandparents and Corneilia Stewart Buick and Robert McGuire were my grandparents. Corneilia died Summer 1968. I met her sister Helen Dorward Buick (Nell) on several occasions as well as her daughter Liz Yeaman. I have pictures of Janet Wilson Buick, Corneilia Stewart Buick, Mary Ann Isobel Buick and of three of Janet Wilson Buick's sons (don't know which is which on that one)
If you are interested in more details of this branch of the family please let me know.

Re: does anybody know???

alyciagallagher — 2010-03-22 04:11:21Z

I have several Buicks in my tree, and actually one that follows the tradition of passing on the mothers maiden name as a middle name.

Edith May Buick, my grandmother, born 1924, Hamilton Ontario. Father Benjamin David Buick, born 1890 - 1960 in Belfast, Antrim, Ireland. He married Rose Nellie Cheater. Benjamim's father, John Buick married Charlotte Hodson (or Charlotte Marks, there is some dispute in the name) and that is where my trail ends. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and best of luck to everyone searching!

Re: does anybody know???

aljbuick1 — 2009-11-20 12:54:49Z

No,
our Nicholas was Nicholas Craig White Buick, was married to Margaret Wilson in 1879 and moved to New Zealand that same year. My uncle Robert was born in 1886, lost his right leg at Passchendale WW1 then operated a high country station of some 32,000 acres for many years. He had 5 children, my cousins that I am personally aquainted with and died in 1959.
I don't think he could be the same one, sorry.

Re: does anybody know???

aljbuick1 — 2009-11-20 12:42:53Z

Hi Colin,
yes, the Robert Ballingall Buick could well be a fit. My Great Grand Father was Robert Buick, born in County Antrim in Northern Ireland. He married a Martha White and gave that family name to 2 of his offspring. One Martha White Buick and my Grand Father, Nicholas Craig White Buick. So the tradition of giving the mother's maiden name as a middle name could be a clue.
You may want to contact me directly at aljbuick@yahoo.ca

Sorry you have wet & windy, we are currently having beautiful mid to upper teens weather here when it should be below zero.

Hsve a good one, Alan Buick

Re: does anybody know???

COLIN1UK — 2009-11-20 07:20:25Z

Hi Alan

Im having the same problem with the Ballingalls, im stuck around 1793 when mymanytimes great grandfather married. the Elspet Ballingall could be his sister, but im struggling to prove it as he died before any of the census's so ive no idea for certain where he was born.
One of Elspet and Johns children was named Robert Ballingall Buick, Elspets father was aRobert Ballingall, so that could fit in.
I will keep at it, if i find any more i will let you know.

Colin...... from a very wet and windy Scotland

Re: does anybody know???

aljbuick1 — 2009-11-20 02:51:28Z

Hi Colin,
we are only guessing that she was my Great Great Grandfather's wife. If her death occurred in Northern Ireland then she is more than likely the right one. This Buick that is referred to as old John Buick within our family moved from Scotland to Ireland sometime in the early 1800s. he has become the dead end of our ancestry search having left no record of where he came from or his birth place.
If you can make a connection we, the Buick family, would greatly appreciate your information.
Other than that here's a big HI from a very distant relative, one Alan Buick, (born in New Zealand), living in Canada.

Re: does anybody know???

COLIN1UK — 2009-11-19 18:18:41Z

Hi Alan

I saw an old post of yours, i just wondered if you had any more info on Elspet Ballingall, i have an Elspet in my tree possibly, i found a death for an Elspet Buick in 1828, not certain if its mt Elspet.

Edmond Buick

dhooper79 — 2008-01-20 23:24:05Z

I am searching for information about an Edmond Buick who married a Edna Edna Erle Ashby born July 1894 in Indiana. He would have been born about 1870 to 1890 and the marriage would have been after 1918. There was an Edmond D. Buick 1877 in Vigo county Indiana in 1930 census. I don't know if this is him.

Thanks for your help,

Re: Anyone out there interested in Buicks?

lynnemig1 — 2007-03-20 00:15:25Z

I am searching for any connection with an Allison Buick from Scotland. Possibly m. John Sime, had 2 d and 1 son (Christina, Jean and John). John b. 12/13/1901 in Dundee. They lived at 46 Kemback St. Allison may actually have been Alice Robertson, but my mother is named Allison Buick after her G-m, and my daughter also is Allison Buick after her G-m. My g-f (John b in 1901) immigrated to the US in the 1920s. I believe his sisters married an Eirce and a McHattie. Very difficult to track down details on his parents. Any help would be appreciated!

Gwenda,
Replying to your email date 5 Feb 2003. I am replying for Edward (Ted) and John Buick from Melb Australia. They are descendants of James Buick who married Agnes Robertson. Also John Buick married Frances Filmore. John Buick and Frances died at Kangaroo Island Australia. They appear to relate to some of the names you have mentioned in your email.

Thanks, have not given up hope just yet it's just a family puzzle that may take time to solve ie Agnes had a son to someone else the son was called David Amos (searched under Amos not found anything) plus there is a family rumour that William Henry Buick changed his name to join the army (can't think why) but I'm sure I'll solve it.
Kindest Regards
Steve

Re: Look Up help needed

Peter_Hayman — 2006-10-10 09:48:43Z

Steve, just because you can't find a marriage record on Scotland's People, it doesn't mean they weren't married. Quite a few parishes have gaps in the records, and there were others which were in such poor condition that they were unable to be scanned. There is a section on the website which lists the records available for each parish, so you could check that out.

There were also various forms of marriage in Scotland, all of which were / are recognised under Scots law, but not necessarily recorded. If they claim to have been married then they probably were!

Pete.

Re: Look Up help needed

2006-10-09 12:36:54Z

Cheers, someone else recommended this site although still not found them yet beginning to think they didn't get married at all.

Re: Look Up help needed

2006-10-09 04:29:30Z

scotlandspeople.gov.uk is without doubt the best site and although it is not free, it works out at about $2:00 to view any certificate. Broad single name searches produce mush to think about and I find it well worth the money. 30 credits are purchased by credit card on a secure line at six pounds sterling per set. Careful use of the site reduces costs. Do NOT search for single names, that uses a credit up. It is much better to have a full page of possible names for the same credit. Hey! I am a Scot, my money is worked for.

Re: William Henry Buick born Cira 1883

Ah well, keep my post in mind. Age at death can sometimes be inaccurate. The informant could be a son-in-law or grandchild who was not sure of the decesed's exact age. If you get the death certificate and his father was Stephen Valentine let me know, I can provide a whole family tree.

debbiefaulkner1 — 2006-04-21 13:38:48Z

Can anyone help me trace a William Henry Buick? He died in 1957 at the age of 74 so I'm putting his birth at round 1883.

I know he was born in Scotland and we are told it was Glasgow but then the family moved to London. He married Agnes Smith but unable to find anything on marriage index. They had there first child in 1921. Agnes we believe had been married before and could have possibly used the name Amos but again we are not sure. I'm very new to this so any help anyone is able to give would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Anyone out there interested in Buicks?

2006-04-02 02:50:10Z

Hi Jill,
I haven't looked at the notice board in quite a while and I don't think I've seen this message before. You located my Grand father's sister, Elizabeth. Granddad was Nicholas Buick born in County Antrin N.Ireland, his dad was Robert Buick, married Martha White in 1850. Robert's dad was John Buick and that's all we know about him. I have a feeling he was the one that came from Scotland as we know we came from there to Ireland.
Happy hunting, Alan Buick

James Buick and Agnes Robertson m. St. Vigeans, Scotland in 1820

GwendaDove — 2005-10-24 14:34:24Z

I am trying to find out more about James Buick and Agnes Robertson, who married in St. Vigeans, Scotland in 1820. I understand that some of their descendants may have moved to England or Ireland. James and Agnes were my great, great grandparents and I would like to find out who James`s parents were - I have three possible sets of parents at the moment! If anyone can help I would love to hear from you. Also, if anyone knows anything of a Francis Ann Filmer, born Canterbury 1825 (married John Buick) or Sarah Harwood, born somewhere in England in 1842 (I know it is a long shot - she married someone with the surname of Littledike, but I do not know the Christian name) I would be pleased to hear.

I look forward to hearing from you when you return and I hope that you had a wonderful time in Australia. Cheers Tanya

Hi Alan, we have corresponded before and I wondered if you had found anything about the Buicks from AntrimI told you my gggrannie Catherine Buick settled in Oamaru wuth her husband about 1875. I have just locted a Buick in Oamaru in the 1880's- Elizabeth Buick married William Milne in 1887.
POamaru being a smallish place and Buick being a relatively ubncommon name I am hopeful of finding a connection there.
My Catherine was born about 1840ish in Broughshane or thereabouts in Antrim and her father was JOHN Buick and mother Hesther or Esther. I have been hitting the brick wall for ages.

Re: DAVID DUNBAR BUICK

fmclinden — 2004-12-08 17:26:19Z

I don't know if this is of any help to you, Donald, but my husband's family tree goes back to Dundee and St Vigeans [a village next door to Arbroath].
We have a Henry Buick b.St Vigeans 1831 son of William Buick b.1805 son of another Henry - birth date unknown so far. William Buick was a canvas weaver and married an Isabel Silver Burnett in 1829.
This [1836] Henry's siblings were William, John, David, Charlotte, Jean, Mary and Stephen. Are these names familiar?
I can't tell you who he married but he'd be about the right age. I'm visiting Edinburgh Register House next week to do some work on our Buicks. I can't promise, but I'll try and fit in Henry. You have to pay for your time there and it becomes a frantic race to fit in as much as possible in the time.
I'd be interested to find out too!
happy hunting

Re: David Dunbar Buick

fmclinden — 2004-12-08 17:26:19Z

hi, looks like you''ve met up with my husbands family!
John Buick b.9 Nov.1834 St Vigeans, Arbroath Angus Scotland m.on 26Mar 1859 Aberdeen to Janet Robertson b.c. 1837 Old Machar Aberdeen.
John was the son of William Buick and Isabel Silver Burnett.
Janet was the daughter of George Robertson and Catherine Jackson.
They had 10 children: John Beattie, Janet, Helen, James, Elspeth, William, Carnelia, Henry Willis, Jane and Mary. Does that match?
There are other Buick families and confusions are arising in some peoples trees. I''m visiting Edinbugh Register House on Monday and Tuesday where \i plan doing further Buick research. I''ve got a lot more on these Buicks. Where are you and what is your E-mail address?
