Christine Woodcock - Canada
Just found your website. I too have Carricks from Lanarkshire - Hamilton, Roughrigg. All were miners.
My history starts with James Carrick 1757. He had 5 children. I come down through his oldest son Andrew (1783) who had 8 children; then through William (1817). He and his son, Andrew were killed in a mining accident. William's daughter, Jane was my gr gr grandmother.
Jane and her family lived in Roughrigg / Longriggend.
Love to hear from you
Christine
