CONNECTED Surnames Coyne, Green, Grady, Whelahan, Madigan, Sutherland, Quilietti and Soukiassian. The Irish Potato Famine was the reason that from Edward 1822 the family moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, where many of their descendants still live today as well as other branches in Canada and South Africa. The photograph above is the Cowgate, Edinburgh, circa 1850 and the area was where many of the Irish immigrants found themselves at this period in history. The Cowgate it times before this was predominately a good middle class area of the City where many Judges, Doctors and the like lived, away from the squaller of the High Street and the closes. After the New Town in Edinburgh was built these gentry moved over there. Over the decades it became more and more run down.

        DENIS  MADIGAN STANTON with DENIS JAMIE STANTON

        Denis Madigan was named after his Irish grandmother’s line.  The name DENIS MADIGAN is plentiful in Counties Limerick and Clare, Ireland.  DNA matches for Denis also confirm that he is very much a Munster Irish.  There are many branches of the family who have the same name and who emigrated to the USA, CANADA,  SCOTLAND and ENGLAND.

                  Dennis,

                  I am a 66 year old retired Engineer living in Edinburgh and have recently begun to piece together my family tree.

                  My great great grandparents were James Gordon and Jane Asher from Morayshire and one of their grandchildren Jane Gordon married a Donald Sutherland. I believe this couple are your great grandparents.

                  A very distant connection but if you wish to compare notes I’d be pleased to hear from you at the above e-mail address.

                  Regards,

                  Jim

                  Hi Denis,

                  I don’t know if you’ll remember me but I lived on the Terrace at no. 71 – we used to play together when we were wee and I think you worked with my father (Harry) for a while.
                  I’m in Canada now but would love to hear from you – great pictures, by the way !
