My Mum was a McFadyen. The furthest back I have managed to get is to my GGGrandfather, James McFadyen, who was a United Presbyterian minister in Patna, Ayrshire. He died 17 April 1882. I know his father was John McFadyen, a weaver, but I have no dates for him. He married Jean Renfrew (27 Aug 1783-24 Jan 1855) in September 1806 in Paisley. I am very interested in finding where theses McFadyens came from; I'm hoping from one of the Isles. Hilary

I have drawn a blank with my McFadyen forebears. I really want to know from which of the Isles they came, and when and where they settled. I think they went to the mainland of Scotland. Would it help if one of my brothers did the DNA testing? Hilary

Hello, I am a female McFadden, Jayme Ross McFadden. I can trace my Mc Fadden family tree from the mid 1800's in North and South Carolina, next to Texas, Arizona and then California. My Grandfather and father were both James Ross McFadden. a GGG grandfather was Felix Mc Fadden. I have more information and will post in a few days. I am currently visiting Scotland and was lucky to visit Loch Buie in Mull today. I am hoping to find that golden thread that will link our family to Scotland or Ireland.

Hi folks my name is Connor MacFadyen my grandfather was from mull but moved to the mainland for national service I have traced my MacFadyen relatives back to the late 1780s my family moved back to island after my 3x great grandmother Catherine MacFadyen was sent to Glasgow to have an illigitimate child. My great grandparent Marion and Arthur MacFadyen are buried in dervaig. Any information would be great. Thanks.

Co Antrim McFadden

My maternal grandmother was Minnie McFadden (Mary Ann) born Oct 1896 near Dervock, Ballymoney, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland. She was the daughter of William McFadden -see census 1911 Ireland.

My cousins and I have done substantial family tree work, but we cannot get back beyond William McFadden himself - due to the fact that there was another William McFadden similar age in the Dervock area, mine significantly resided at Drum(n)afivey, some two or three miles from Dervock village. The wives were Annie (confirmed as my great-grandmother) and Lizzie, who was not our ancestor. My family may have been Church of Ireland, then Presbyterian, the other McFaddens were mixed - father William Presbyterian, mother and children Roman Catholic. We would love to trace Annie McFadden by her maiden name, and know more about our great-grandfather's ancestry, if anyone has info.

The sons of William my ggf were James, William and Alexander known as Sandy, and the daughters were Minnie, Jeannie and Martha married to Gordon, Hickinson and McGrotty respectively.

Rob:

We may be related as my family is also from Creeslough, but much more recently. My parents came to the US in 1956.

I am from the "Dinny-Paddy-Owen" branch of the family. My Dad was Denis (b1926-d2009), his father was also Denis (a/k/a "wee Dinny"), my great grandpa was Denis (d1937 - a/k/a "big Donohue"), my great great grandpa was Patrick, and my great great great grandpa was Owen.

My grandma Grace McFadden's background has been harder to trace, but she was already a McFadden before they married.

If you would like more background information, let me know.

All the best,
Pearl Seafield
