Henry PITTOCK & Sarah MCINTOSH - Dundee
My great great grandfather was Henry PITTOCK and according to the 1881 census he was born around 1850 in Milford, Yorkshire which I take to be now called South Milford near Leeds. In 1873 in Liverpool he married Sarah MCINTOSH (born c1853 in Dundee but I have no other info on her) and in 1881 they were living in Barrow in Furness before moving to Motherwell in Scotland with their (at that time) 5 children around 1887. The children were James (c1874), Sarah Ann (my great grandmother - 1875), Betsy (c1877), Henry (c1879), Isabella (c1880) all born in Barrow in Furness, and finally Donald (1887) born in Motherwell. Donald died in 1939 in hospital in Glasgow, and Sarah Ann died in 1962 in Motherwell. Both parents had died by 1939.
Henry was listed on census as an Iron Smelter or possibly Steel Hammerman. Family legend has it that they were of Romany origin but that is extremely doubtful at best.
Does anyone have any relevant information on any of the PITTOCK or MCINTOSH families? Thanks in advance.

Thomas Woods, Mary Delaney - Dundee
My ggg-grandfather was Thomas Woods. He was born in 1799 or 1800 in "Dundee, Ireland"--North. (My grandmother's writing--I've since learned that Dundee is in Scotland). He attended Trinity College in Dublin. From Ireland, he eloped with "Mary Delaney" to America.
One of them was Catholic--the other Protestant; they hoped to find more religious tolerance in the States.
I know nothing about their families, but would love to find them. If anyone has any clues or advice, I'd be extremely grateful!
