Weir/Ireland

[Bonnie Parker-Duke]

Am looking for descendants of Mary Weir b. 9 February 1858 in Wick, daughter of John Weir and Catherine Meiklejohn, and William (Will) Ireland b. about 1855 in Wick, son of John Ireland and Barbara Campbell. They had children:

Catherine J. Ireland b. Oct. 1882

John C. Ireland b. Nov. 1884

James Victor Ireland b. April 1887

William Ireland b. abt Jan 1890, d. Jan 1890, Dartford, Kent, England

Daniel Robert Ireland b. 17 March 1895

Will Ireland was a cooper and because of the lack of coopering jobs, moved around quite a bit. They also lived in Swanscombe, Wick and in Leith at various times.

Thank you so much for all that information! I am overwhelmed with gratitude! Are you related to the Irelands?

I have two letters written by Will Ireland and would love to share the letters and all the other Weir letters in my possession with descendants.
