Hi,
I'm looking for any living family of the following. I will start from the most current to as far back as I can trace.
These are the family members I cannot locate their burial locations, death, nor any of their descendents:
" Alfred Leopold Plant born January 1884 in Manchester, England to Alfred Plant 1861-1911 and Sarah Baguley 1859 - 1914. The parents Alfred and Sarah I have death and burial locations.
July 1915 Alfred married : Kate Livingston born 1885, in Manchester, England, to William John Livingston 1861-1921 and his wife Mary Bennett 1860-1915.

Alfred and Kate had a son born in January 1917 and died 13 October 1917. He is buried in Manchester General Cemetery Consecrated Section Grave 971 with his Grandmother Sarah Baguley.

William and Mary had 2 daughters: Kate Livingston Plant and Amelia Livingston.
Amelia born 1889 in Manchester, England. When her father William died in 1921 he left everything to Amelia. As far as I can tell she did not marry. I believe she came to the United States in 1920, but I'm not sure.
From here upwards I have no information about their death, burial, nor any living children they might have."
From here below is family history that you might find helpful in determining if you know any of my family.
William J. Livingston born 1861 to Thomas Livingston botrn in Sligo, Ireland and his wife Catherine.
In July 1883 William married Mary Bennett born 1860, in Manchester, England to John Bennett 1823-1881 and Amelia Fielding 1826- 1891.

William, Position #4, and Mary, Position #2 of K Consecrated, Grave 490 in Philips Park Cemetery Manchester, England, with Mary's 2 brothers James and William.

The inscription reads: In Loving Memory of James beloved son of the late John & Amelia Bennett, who died Jany 31, 1913, age 45 years, "Peace Perfect Peace," Also his sister, Mary, beloved wife of William J. Livingston who died May 6th, 1915, "Deeply loved and sadly missed," also William J. Livingston beloved husband of the above, who died Dec 24th, 1921, Aged 61 years, "rest after suffering", also William Bennett who died Nov 16, 191, aged 56 years, "at rest."

Mary's parents John and Amelia I believe owned a furniture upholstering business. He as a fustian cutter.

Feel free to look at any information on Ancestry.com under Borleas Fielding 1792-1840 work forwards. Or look at Find A Grave.com and start at Borleas and look at his wife and children. Moving forward you will come to the Bennett, Livingston and Plant.

Thank you so very much for any help you can offer. Patti

Hi Patty,

Welcome to the Clan Maclea Livingstone Society Forum. Unfortunately I dont have any detailed information on your Livingstons from Ireland that moved to England and their subsequent Livingston kin such as you are searching for, but others in the future visiting this site may know something of your Livingston family.

regards,

Hi Donald, Thank you for checking. I also have Bennett's and Smythe's from Ireland relations, so we may cross paths in the future. As you know, this takes alot of time and money to make sure our Tree's are correct. I was told by an Ancestry tree family member I met this year, to start from what I know to be fact, and work backwards. Make sure you have documentation That was good advice. The only problem was, when I received my Marriage License that was proof he had the wrong Sarah in his tree. His Willacy was married to my Fielding. Then he had to totally restructure his branch. It was kind of funny. He said his advice cost him a month or so of work to restructure. But we are now good friends and family. It has really been nice working on my Tree this year. So far I have met 3 new family cousins. We connect with our Great Grandfathers and one Great Grandmother were brothers and sisters. I'm going to New Mexico and Arizona to meet them at Christmas time. I'm so excited. Well, thanks again for checking. Nice to meet you. Patti

Welcome, Patti.

Others may have thoughts or contributions as well, but in the mean time, I encourage you to also check in from time to time. These boards are indexed online and so frequently someone else from the same line will show up later and want to get in touch. Hopefully that happens for you!

Good luck!

Patti,

There was some discussion here a few months ago about Livingstones from Sligo, no idea if it was the same family, but I doubt if there were too many Livingstones in Sligo, who were not related to each other.

I think this particular family may have originated around the Edinburgh area,
