Re: Millars of N. Ireland originally from Scotland

I have seen this family on a census report and was wondering if they belonged to my Millar connection of County Antrim/County Derry. Do you know who the parents of the father, Andrew Millar b. 1852/1854 are?

Samuel Millar/Miller, who married Susan Trimble

lauren9847 — 2012-04-11 03:42:40Z

Hello friends, I'm looking for information on the family of Samuel Millar/Miller. He & Susan Trimble married 14 Oct 1890 in County Tyrone at the Sandholes church.

Siblings of Samuel: (in no particular order)
Margaret
Sarah Ann
Thomas
Mary

Samuel & Susan came to the US shortly after they were married & settled in North Adams, MA. The name was officially changed to Miller.

I am looking for info on who the parents of Samuel & his siblings are. Family lore suggests they were from County Armagh, but the marriage certificate leads me to believe they had lived in County Tyrone, at least Samuel & possible father Alexander did. I've found marriage certificates for two of the sisters & those lead me to believe it's Tyrone as well.

I've hit a major brick wall with this branch in my tree & I've only gone back slightly over 100 years.

The following is taken from the Dundee Courier & Argus, Thursday October 23, 1884, and I have replicated it here in case it is of help or interest to anyone else. I have no known connection to the family concerned.

MONTROSE

DEATH OF MR C. H. MILLAR – The death of this respected gentleman took place at Blair Castle on Monday night. From the first it was not thought he would recover from the illness by which he was seized on Saturday afternoon. Mr Millar was well known and much respected here, both as an upright, shrewd man of business and as one who was never appealed to in vain when help was required. He leaves a family of sons and daughters, the oldest son being in the business at the sawmills here. Mr Millar was a member of the Town Council for five years, having entered in 1844. He was three times elected, and was, while member of Council, Harbour Representative, and he continued a member of the Harbour Board long after he left the Council – in fact, almost continuously from 1845 to 1873. Mr Millar was 77 years of age.

DISTRESSING DEESIDE FATALITY

ABERDEEN MOTOR CYCLIST’S SAD END

MR HAROLD W. H. MILLAR

A distressing fatality occurred on the Clash road, in the Tarland district of Deeside, on Saturday afternoon. Taking part in the hill climbing competition of the Aberdeen and District Motor Cycling Club had there, Mr Harold W. H. Millar, one of their most prominent members and a most recognised ability, met with an accident and succumbed to his injuries.

HOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED

The Clash, although not straight be described as a stiff road so far as gradient is concerned, affords a good number of fairly sharp and, in the opinion of experienced cyclists, deceptive turns having to be negotiated. Mr Millar was riding a new 7 to 9 T.T. racing Indian machine, which he had got in the beginning of the week. About 30 members took part in the outing, and shortly after four o’clock the competition commenced. The road is about a mile in length, and from the foot of the hill the progress of the competitor could be followed from start to finish. The first to go off was Captain Bethel, who made the ascent without mishap. Next in order came Mr Millar, who left at and maintained a fast rate of speed.

All went well until he was about 100 yards from the summit. The road takes an S-shaped bend there, and the competitor was lost to the view of those who were watching from the starting point. He did not come in sight again when he ought to have done, and the appearance of people running downhill from the top of the road, confirmed the fears that something amiss had occurred. Mr Millar seemed to take the corner rather widely, and ran into a heap of road scrapings lying at the roadside. The cycle turned somersault, and fell on the top of the rider, the heavy engine landing on his chest. The accident was observed, and by the time Mr Mutch, the next competitor to start, came up officials were already rendering such assistance as was within their power.

Mr Millar was unconscious, and as it was apparent that his condition was critical, Mr Mutch went off to Tarland for Dr Hector and Mr Spencer motored to Torphins for Dr Davidson. Both gentlemen were soon on the scene, and Mr Millar was removed to a blacksmith’s house not far away. His injuries were of an extensive nature, and no hope was held out for his recover. His father and mother arrived from Aberdeen and remained until the end. He passed away shortly after 10 o’clock without having regained consciousness.

POPULAR PERSONALITY

Mr Milne was the second son of Major R Hoyer Millar, 33 Queen’s Road, Aberdeen, who is the senior member of the firm of Messrs R Millar and Sons Ltd., timber merchants, Montrose and Aberdeen. Although but 21 years of age, he had for some years been a prominent figure in the athletic and social life of the city. He was educated at Repton, and then entered the office of his father’s business. Major Millar commanded the 1st Black Watch Service Company in South Africa, and from boyhood Mr Harold evinced keen interest in a military direction. At Repton he joined the cadet corps, obtained the proficiency certificate, and held the rank of sergeant. Two years ago he came identified with the Highland Division of Royal Engineers. He was a most painstaking and efficient officer, and in the report recently given on his lieutenancy examination he earned high approbation from the general officer commanding the Highland Division. There, as in other spheres, his frank and genial disposition made him popular to a degree. There was no more enthusiastic or competent motor cyclist in these parts. He had a bent towards mechanics, and obtained practical experience as an engineer with Mr George Cumming, Holburn Street. He was a “gentleman” of the road in the finest sense of the word, giving freely of his time and undoubted skill no matter what the circumstances of the need for assistance might be. He was the life and soul of the outings of the Aberdeen and District Club, and although he had given up the cycle – only temporarily it proved – for a car he supervised the three days’ reliability trial held in connection with the club three weeks ago.

Hockey was another sport in which he made his mark. He was a member of the Aberdeen Club, and his merits were recognised by his selection as goalkeeper in the international match played at Wrexham between Scotland and Wales in 1912. Amateur theatricals proved him to be an accomplished actor. As a member of the Aberdeen Footlights Club and the Grammar School F.P.’s Theatrical Club he made quite a name for himself locally. His most recent appearances on the “boards” for these societies confirmed the views of critics and friends that he possessed powers in the portrayal of character of no mean order. The sad end of so bright and promising a life will evoke heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved family.

A MILITARY FUNERAL

The funeral will be attended by military honours, and will take place from St John’s Episcopal Church, Crown Terrace, on Wednesday at 2 pm, on its way to the family burying ground at Montrose. Canon Cruickshank is to officiate. The order of the procession leaving the church will be Cross-bearer, choir, clergy, officers of Royal Engineers, Boy Scouts, the coffin on gun carriage, chief mourners, and general public. The cortege will be by Crown Street, Union Street, and Holburn Street, to Justice Mill Land, where six sergeants of the Field Company of Royal Engineers, to which company Lieutenant Millar belonged, will carry the coffin from the gun carriage to the motor hearse, which will be in waiting. Mr Millar, it may be added, took a characteristically wholehearted interest in the Boy Scouts connected with St John’s Church.

THE LATE MR HAROLD MILLAR

TOUCHING FUNERAL SCENES

How deeply citizens of all classes in Aberdeen had been moved by the tragic circumstances attending the death at a motor hill-climbing contest at the Clash, Tarland, on Saturday, of Mr Harold W. H. Millar was touchingly shown yesterday afternoon. A lieutenant in the Royal Engineers (T.F.), military honours were accorded him, and in the cortege the Boy Scouts and the motor cycle and hockey clubs, whose ranks he adorned, were specially represented. A service was held in St John’s Episcopal Church, and thereafter the remains were conveyed on a gun carriage through crowded streets to Justice Mill Lane, where they were transferred to a motor hearse. The interment took place at Sleepyhillock Cemetery, Montrose.

IN THE CHURCH

Seldom has the funeral of a young man excited so much sympathetic interest. Over the church the Union Jack was flown at half-mast. Inside there gathered a representative congregation. The chief mourners were: Major R. Hoyer mIllar and Mrs Millar, the father and mother of the deceased; Mr Chistian Hoyer Millar and Mr Derek Millar, his brothers; Mrs Simson (aunt) and Mr Alan G. Simson, Edinburgh (cousin); and the Rev. Charles Grub, Dunoon (late of St Mary’s, Montrose). Lord Provost Maitland was present in Lord-Lieutenant’s uniform in his capacity as president of the City Territorial Association, with Colonel W. S. Gill, chairman, and Major Gordon, the secretary. The fellow-officers of the deceased in the Royal Engineers who attended to pay a last tribute were: Major Kinghorn, Captain and Adjutant Wedd, Captain Mitchell, Captain Gordon, Captain Robertson, Lieutenants Bruce, Barron, Ledingham, Glegg, and Wilson; Captain Reid and Lieutenant Harper; and the Rev.

Fammell, Scottish Horse; Lieut.-Colonel M. M. Duncan, Captain and Adjutant Dewitt, Major J. W. Garden, Major F. Fleming, Captains J. H. Edwards, L. J. Davidson, F. W. Kay, and T. Davidson; Lieutenants J. R. Cooper, J. F. Macdonell, J. C. Duffus, J. S. G. Collie, A. Innes, R. H. Williamson, R. N. Ledingham, J. Barclay-Milne, and G. D. Mellis, R.F.A.; Captain Stephen, R.A.M.C.; Major Minto, Lieutenants L. L. Shepherd, J. N. Savage, I. L. F. Macbeth and C. G. Lumsden, North Scottish R.G.A.; Major T. Ogilvie, Major G. A.

Cook, Mr David Douglas, Mr William Douglas, Dr Ogilvie Will, Dr Watt, Dr Alexander Mitchell, Mr R. W. Walker, Mr A. D. Crombie, Mr Donaldson S. Rose, Mr J. R. F. Elsmie, Mr R. Gordon Nicol, Mr A. Latto, Mr J. Martin, Councillor Smith, Mr Allan Milne, solicitor; Mr G. Sowden, Mr A. Martinean, Mr W. N. Macdonald, Mr Alex. Lyall, Mr Jamieson, Woodside; Mr W. Young, Alford; Mr Robert Cumming, Mr W. Julius, Mr William Ross, Mr H. M. Sinclair, Mr Peter Smith, president; Mr David Ogilvie, captain; Mr F. R. Gordon, secretary, Aberdeen and District Motor Cycle Club; the Messrs Loke, Mr G. Cumming, Mr Mutch, Mr P. Reid, Mr Gillies, Mr Bisset, Captain Bethel, Mr Matthews, Mr James Taylor, Mr Massie, Mr Watson, Mr Davie, Mr John Coulter, Mr Alex. Gauld, etc.

THE PROCESSION

The coffin, of polished panelled oak, with raised cross on lid, brass mountings, and cords and tassels of purple, bore the simple inscription:

HAROLD
Aged 21 years.

There were between 40 and 50 wreaths, including beautiful floral devices from fellow officers and the various clubs and other organisations with which Mr Millar had been associated besides numerous tributes from relatives and personal friends.

The service, conducted by the Rev. Canon Cruickshank, opened with the hymn, “Fight the Good Fight,” and also included “Lead Kindly Light,” closing with the “Nunc Dimittis.”

To the impressive strains of Chopin’s Funeral March, played on the organ by Mr J. H. Mackay, the coffin was borne out of the church, the wreaths being carried by old Boy Scouts, in whose work the young man had taken a warm interest. The Royal Engineers, who bore the coffin to the gun carriage, included Messrs F. R. Gordon and G. Cumming, representative of the motor cycle section. The route was via Crown Street, Union Street, Holburn Street, to opposite Union Grove. The cortege moved slowly along through thoroughfares lined by deeply affected crowds, and to the wailing pipe music of “The Flowers of the Forest.”

The order of procession was:

Royal Engineers:-
Band;
Men;
Non-Commissioned Officers;
Officers;
Cross Bearer;
Choir and Clergy;
(Pall Bearers) Gun Carriage (Pall Bearers)
Chief Mourners
Scouts
The President, Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary of the City of Aberdeen Territorial Association
Officers of other Regiments
General Public

It was a memorable and impressive scene. As the funeral procession wended its way slowly along Union Street and Holburn Street, all traffic was stopped for the time being, so dense was the throng. Holburn Street, in particular, became impossible to tramcar and other traffic. The motor hearse was waiting beyond Justice Mill Lane, and when the funeral procession had halted the coffin, shrouded in the Union Jack was transferred from the gun carriage to the hearse. The soldiers stood at the salute, and amid the respectful silence of the thousands around the 40-mile journey was entered upon.

AT MONTROSE

Sleepyhillock Cemetery, Montrose, was reached shortly after five o’clock. Canon Cruickshank conducted the committal service in presence of a large company of mourners. The pall-bearers were: Major R. Hoyer Millar (father) and Mr Frederick Roberts Millar (brother), Mr E. C. Millar, Montrose (uncle); Mr R. C. H. Millar of Rossie, Montrose; the Rev. E. W. Millar, Arbroath, and Mr Alan Simson, Balmanno, Marykirk (cousins); Major Kinghorn, Aberdeen; and Mr A. Oliphant, Montrose. Mrs R Hoyer Millar, Mrs Simson, Balmanno, and Mrs R. C. H. Millar, Rossie Castle, Montrose, were present, and amongst the general company were: Mrs H. More-Gordon, Montrose; Mrs Cruickshank, Aberdeen; Captain Wedd, adjutant; Captain Mitchell, and Captain Robertson, of the Highland Divisional Royal Engineers; Mr Alexander Lyell of Gardyne, Mr Thomas Lyell, Mr H. More-Gordon, Mr T. More-Gordon, Baillie Petrie, and Mr James Cumming, town clerk, representing the Town Council and community of Montrose; Mr W. A. Kay, Mr G. M. Wills, Mr W. Prain, Montrose; etc. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs William Cay and Sons, Aberdeen.

This was an interesting post. Rachel Price Millar was my Great Aunt, the sister of my grandmother, Grace Price. I have heard many stories over the years of George and Rachel, your grandparents, from my mother, who was very close to her Aunt Rachel.

There are Millars (Donny, Mark and Scott) from York, PA, sons of Donald Millar (a son of Rachel and George). I always thought Rachel had nine children though.

John Brendon Millar born 1885 Ireland

soniammillar — 2011-05-05 20:40:40Z

Trying to find any information on John Brendon Millar who was born in Ireland in about 1885, not sure where about? He servrd in the 18th Royal Irish Regiment, served in India until 1910 and fought in france from the end of 1914 and throughout the war. I think he had two brothers who were also service men, one may have gone to Australia. He was married to a Mary Murphy also from Ireland somewhere. They moved to Staffordshire in United Kingdom towards the end or not long after the war where he died in 1947. The name has apparantely been passed through generations so maybe his Father was John Brendon also...

Dorothy survived, and I find her in Boston in the 1920 census as an Interior Decorator. I can not find any information about her after that time. Does anyone have her in their family? Addison Millar's parents were Rev. William Millar and Permelia Kennedy Millar, and the family lived for a time in Trumbull County Ohio. They had the following children: Addison, Clarence, Azalia, Phelps, and Grace. Any help with this family or Dorothy will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Trish, I am no longer an ancestory member so might be best if I had your email address - I am mgleeson@oldgroundhotel.ie I am not sure what old info you picked up on but our Martin Gleeson came from Kilmore in the Silvermines to Knockbrack - there he married Uriel and had at least 3 sons and a daughter - the son who was my great, great grandfather was Daniel Gleeson who died there in 1902 - his brother Martin died in Ballarat - I will find the dates somewhere and the sister stayed in Tipperary too - I will see if I can find out some more.
Nenagh Heritage Centre is also very good.

Margaret Millar and Charles McGregor of Kilmaronock (Dunbarton) Scotland

rhiannon843 — 2010-10-29 20:16:38Z

Margaret and Charles had at least 5 children between 1774 and 1783 that I have been able to locate in the OPR. I have not, however, been able to find a marriage record for them. I am descended through their eldest daughter, Janet.

I am also trying to find the parents of both. Scottish naming patterns, dates, and places suggest that Margaret's parents may have been John Millar/er and Janet Glen of the parish of Luss.

The same indicators suggest the parents of Charles McGregor/McGrigor may have been John McGregor and Christian McGregor of the parish of Dull.

Any information that anyone might have on any of the individuals above would be much appreciated.

On July 20, 1900, in Nebraska, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Millar celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversay. A group photo was taken by G. C. Armstead. Would anyone known where a copy of this photo could be obtained? Would appreciate any help you can give. Thank You.

Re: Millar's of Randalstown, County Antrim, Ireland

Hi Mindie,
I have a gggrandmother Jane Millar from Ballygrooby who married a James McDonnell in Randalstown 1853. They had at least two children - William (my g grandfather) born 1854 and Mary J b.1863. According to the marriage entry she was Roman Catholic. At this stage I do not know any more about Jane Millar. On the marriage entry it just gives her father's name as Millar from Ballygroober. No details of her mother. And I don't know when she was born.

Ballygrooby was not that big so it is probable that they are related somehow. Any further information you are able to share would be appreciated - though I know it is some time since you posted your message.
Regards

George James Millar

minky248 — 2010-09-12 05:29:10Z

Son of James Millar and Mary Gates born on the 22/2/1931 probably in the Leongatha area of Victoria. There were 7 children George Stanley Thomas Lindsay Humphrey Mary and Maureen. He left home at a young age and was not seen by anyone after that. There were some suggestions that he had remained in the Traralgon area where they were living at the time but changed his name. If anyone has information we would love to know what happened to him.

Hi

My family name is Millar, from Kirkudbrightshire / Wigtonshire, but from N Ireland originally i believe in the 1840's. Robert Millar (Miller) came from Ireland in 1840's and the name still runs today :-) My Grandad was called Archibald Auld Donaldson Millar, but i don't believe there is any connection.

JMcGrath07 — 2010-04-27 07:10:29Z

Hi,
The William Millar referred to here is William Alexander Millar born in 1888 in Carrickfergus, he was married to Sarah Finlay in 1907, and they had 6 children. Sarah died in 1923 and William remarried in the same year to Lillie Brankin and there were 4 children born from this marriage which I don't have any information on at all.
Is this the same person you are looking for?

Re: walter/david millar

scottmillar40 — 2010-04-26 23:14:35Z

I am a Millar in Northern Ireland, and those are popular names in my family history - I believe we may come from Scotland.

Have you any idea as to what year they migrated?

Re: MILLAR, William - Co Antrim - 1888

scottmillar40 — 2010-04-26 21:43:22Z

I believe William may be my Great Grandfather.

My father's Grandfather was a William Millar married to a woman by the name of Sarah.

Do you have any other information on William Millar?

My grandfather (born Samuel David McCandless Millar) had 5 or 6 brothers and one sister. They had lived in Coleraine, County Londonderry.

Any further information on William Would be very much appreciated
