Maggie says "I think James came from Dublin, but that is unconfirmed. He married Mary Paterson they lived in Johnstone Scotland all their lives. He was a carter and delivered coal."

"They raised eight children in Johnstone, most of them emigrating to the U.S.A. during the 1920's."

"Some still remain in Johnstone."

Update: I have received and email regarding Duncan Ferguson, who was born in 1936 in Bonnybridge. It would appear that he is related to the Bellingham/McMenemy family.  

During the 1901 census at Barleyhill in Bonnybridge. Mary McMenemy, aged one, was visiting the house as grand daughter of David Bellingham and Martha McHugh. Mary's parents were Patrick McMenemy and Elizabeth Maitland Bellingham.

David Bellingham's (born Ireland around 1839/1841) parents were Dawson Bellingham and Sarah Montgomery. Martha McHugh, born 1842 in Culmore, Antrim. Her parents were Arthur McHugh and Mary Bellingham. Duncan Ferguson's Great Grandmother was Mary Bellingham who was born in Camelon, Falkirk in 1866. Mary Bellingham was the daughter of David Bellingham and Martha McHugh.

Cleone Barrus is also doing research on a McMenemy line, and writes:

"Mine went from Ireland to Glasgow in the mid 1830's as near as I can tell and then on to the US in 1870's. My grandmother was a daughter to James McMenamy and Margaret Jaap Jamieson (who was Scottish). James father was William McMenemy and I do not have his mother's name. I have William's death registration from Scotland. But I have been collecting every McMenemy I could find in the 1840-1870 period."

Billy McMenamy relates the following family legend:

"I am trying to verify a story my father told long before he passed away. The story goes, there were four (4) McMenamy (or however it may have been spelled) brothers who were Knights for Mary, Queen of Scots. For some unknown (to me at least) reason they switched their allegiance from the Queen to her opposition. For this the story goes, she put such a price on their heads they had to leave Scotland and purportedly came to America in the early 1600s.

I recently met a cousin who spells his name McMennamy, who told me the same story."

(Source: Billy McMenamy 9/12/98)

Ref: F15/JLF

Jeff LeFaucheur provides the following background to his family in Australia

"My grandmother was a McMenemy - Bridget McMenemy born in Rutherglen, Scotland. She was the daughter of James McMenemy of King Street and Ellen (nee Gilmour) who was married in Lanarkshire, Scotland (date of marriage unknown). James McMenemy's widow (Ellen) then married S/Sgt. Moule ex British Army in Calcutta.

They had four daughters and two sons - Margaret, Bridget, Benny, Paddy (drowned in a pond in Calcutta, India), Nora,Catherine and Neille. Two of Mum's uncles were famous Celtic Soccer players (one was named - James). Margaret (Maggie) m Bagot. Bridget (born 18 March 1893 and died in London March 1970). m Magnus Wayne. Bridget's family then moved to India during the British Raj and had strong links with the Black Watch.

The McMenemy's born in India were
    Nora m Hughey,
    Nellie ,
    Catherine (Kathleen) m Tancred,
    Phillip (Benny) m Miss Heffron ( or maybe Miss Heffner)
    Patrick (died as a child - drowned in a pond)
    Violet (died in infancy)
    Mary (died in infancy).

Guy McMenemy provides the following:

"My Grandfather Robert E. McMenemy b.1840-d.1904 came to the USA with his brother (first name unkown) just prior to the Civil War. They left from Glasgow, Scotland and arrived at unkown port in USA. Robert's brother remained in the North."

"Robert moved south to Louisiana and served in the C.S.A., Co.E, 25 Regt., La. Inf. and was a prisoner of war at the end. He went from Louisiana to Texas after the Civil War and married Florence Hermes whose father Emil Hermes had migrated from Germany and served in the 4th Texas calvery during the Civil War. Robert and Florence settled in Beeville, Texas where he was the town's Blacksmith and raised a family of seven. My father was the first born, Robert E.J., b.1883 and the rest as follows: Albert C., Mary A., Philena, Fred L., b 1889, Harry L., and Lela McMenemy. All children are now deceased."

Jeanne McMenemy provides the following snippet:

My father, Richard Alexander McMenemy, died in 1990, (born 1912, in St. Paul Minnesota) and he was the last of eight siblings, many of whom have been gone for years. His only sister, Blanche, died in the influenza epidemic of 1918, in her 20's. His brothers were Robert, Sidney, Hugh, Edward, and two more whose names I can't remember---one of them died in childhood.

His father's name was Robert. He was Canadian, and that's all I know about him, except that perhaps he was a bigamist. My father, very late in his life, when he was already in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, told me a story about his father, which I don't know the accuracy of: he said that he had a memory from when he was very young of a woman from Canada coming to the door of his families house in St. Paul, and claiming to be his father's wife! She had some children, (my father didn't remember how many), and had somehow found Robert, who had walked out on his Canadian family, come to Minnesota and started a new family. My father didn't remember any more about the story, and by the time he told it to me, all but one of his siblings were gone (and the family was not communicative anyway) and I have never tried to verify it with my surviving cousins.

My father worked for Northern Pacific Railroad for 20 years, but left Minnesota, with his wife Rose (Ladin) after he returned from his WWII service, and moved the Pacific Northwest. He graduated from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and moved to Portland, Oregon, where he lived the rest of his life. He was a teacher, a remedial reading specialist, and an administrator in the Portland Public Schools. In his retirement he opened and antiques shop which he operated for 10 years, until the Alzheimer's disease forced another retirement.

I was born in January, 1949, and my sister, Meredith, in July of 1952. I live in Walla Walla, Washington and work as an artist and graphic designer.

Jeanne adds:

My dad's first teaching job in Portland, Oregon, when he arrived there in 1951, was at Kennedy Elementary School (not named for JFK, of course), which is the site of the newest McMenamin's lodging and restaurant complex.

Jeanne also said that she'd be happy to correspond with other McMenemy families.

Samuel was a weaver and it would seem that he and Martha are my great-great grandparents.

Robert, one of their sons, and my great grandfather and a labourer in an iron works, married Agnes Clark in Glasgow on 2nd September at the High Church in the Milton District of Glasgow in 1870.

A son Thomas, my grandfather was born on 20th December 1870, his birth was registered by his father, and signed by his X mark on 6th January 1871. They had, other children at this time unidentified, and Thomas, iron dresser married Elizabeth Lamb in Glasgow on 22nd January 1893. They had the following children in age order:- Thomas, John, daughter who went to America, William (my father), Isobel, Robert, Felix and Danny.

The spelling of our name was consistently that of McMenemy until the birth of my father who was registered as McMenemy, but later family births , including my own and those of my children have been spelt, McMenamay - the reason for this remained shrouded in the mists of history. It seems to me not improbable, that my great-great grandfather Samuel and James of a similar time could be related.

Rod's cousin, Diane GEORGE has also been chasing the family line. Her  branch of the family has recollections that when Patrick McMENAMAN came to Australia in 1840 another brother migrated to USA..

Carol relates:

One of Jack's (John's) children, Jim, went to Liverpool England and owned a coal company, later around 1950 he returned to Athlone with his wife for a while then went back to Liverpool, they had no children (and died in Liverpool in 1963).  His last name was spelled McMenemy.

My great grandfather's brother Henry went to South Africa in the early 1880s. (Any information would be welcome)

James McMenemy offers the following fragment, accompanied by the the background:

William McMenemy and Helen (Nellie ) Buchanan were my grandparents. To the best of my knowledge my great grandparents came from Donegal moving to the Stirling area of Scotland in the 1800s following on from the potato famine. I believe they eventually settled in Cambuslang were my great grand father worked in the mines as did my grandfather William. I don't know exactly which year my grandfather was born but know his birthday was on the 12th July which he hated due to the King Billy 1690 links of the battle of the Boyne.

Chris McMenamy has provided the following fragment relating to his family:

A few McMenamy's from Easton, MA fought in WWII.  I think they were all drafted.   James (my grandfather) and John both went to Europe.  James was in Ireland before he was shipped over to Normandy beach on the "Exchequer" boat.  This was D-day + two or three weeks.  He spent more than a year in Europe fighting all over the country.  In fact, he was involved in the Battle of the Bulge.  He also saw much of the destruction in Germany.

During his time in Europe, his wife sent him a Dear John letter (I have no respect for any woman who sent a Dear John letter).  Nonetheless, he was devastated.   

His brother John was a cook I believe and was wounded when his jeep was nearly hit by a hand grenade.  He received shrapnel in the back.  After his being wounded, my grandfather was taken out of combat to become a cook as well.   

After all of this and Germany's surrender, James was on his way (as well as most of the infantry) to fight in the pacific. Fortunately, troop movement was slow back then, and Japan had already been bombed and surrendered by the time he got back to the states.   

When James returned, it was the first time he'd seen his family including his brother in more than a two years.  He met my grandmother in the late 1940s and they had my uncle James, Kevin (my father), and my Uncle Shaun.

My Grandfather, Robert McMenemy, b; 1840 Glasgow, Scotland came to the USA just prior to the Civil War abt; 1860, with a brother, name unknown. His brother remained up North while he came South to Louisiana. He was inducted into the Confederate Army and fought with the 25th Infantry Brigade.

As you may know, children were often named after their parent's brothers and sisters in those days. My father, Robert Emil James McMenemy was the first born. His father was Robert. His Grandfather on his mothers side was Emil. Possibly his father's father was James. This would indicate my Great Grandfather was James McMenemy from Glasgow, Scotland. A long shot and I'm sure that James McMenemy was a common name in Scotland. I have no other documentation on my Grandfather's relatives in Scotland. I might add that his other sons were named Albert Edward, Fred, Harry Luke and Edward Lee McMenemy.
