Armagh (county)
My great great grandfather was George McLoughlin. He married Maria Matilda Lester from Killylea in 1853. George and Maria eigrated to Scotland where he was an Excise Officer. He later joined the Inland Revenue and served in Bedworth and Brackley in England. He died in london in 1880's Maria went to Nottingham where she brought up the family until her death in 1912. Does anyone know where George McLughlin was born and who his parents were?

George McLaughlin was a Revenue Officer which may have had a bearing on the move from Ireland to Scotland and then back to Dublin, where most of his children were born. A clue to family connections may lie in the middle name of his John. the Pentlands were a prominent Dublin family in the mid nineteenth century and also had connections in Down, some even in Killyleagh parish where George married.

George McLoughlin and Maria Matilda Lester were my great great grandparents who married in Killylea, not Killyleagh which is a different place. I am curious to know your interest in the family. I am descended from William Lester McLoughlin one of George and Maria' sons born in Carlow. The last two children were born in England, Charles in Bedworth and Ernest B in Nottingham where Maria lived until her death in 1913. George left Maria sometime before he retired and returned to Armagh where he died in 1889. Inland Revenue records are available at The National Archives at Kew.

My interest is purely in John Pentland's midle name and why his parent's chose it. From what I can see there were no Pentlands on his mother's side but I cannot trace his father's side, have you any idea of the origin of the name?

Like you, I have had difficulty in tracing the McLoughlins. George's father was John McLoughlin of Barrack Hill who was a 'pensioner' in Armagh at the time of his second marriage to Elizabeth Winter on 15/11/1851. His father is named as John McLoughlin, a farmer. I have seen the original entry in St Mark's church register for the marriage. I deduced that John McLoughlin was George's father from the confirmation records at St Mark's which stated that George McLoughlin of Barrack Hill was confirmed in 1846 age 15, so he must have been born in 1831. He entered the Inland Revenue in 1852 (TNA CUST 116/58/18, however this record refers to a John McLoughlin born in Termonfeckin about 1836!! That is as far as I have got. I have checked records at PRONI, but don't expect to get any further until I have been to TNA and seen the original Inland Revenue record for George.
My guess is that as George and Maria's son William had the middle name Lester after Maria's family, that Pentland is the maiden name of George's mother. As Mary Ann, Matilda and Jane are Lester Christian names, then it might be that George's mother was Caroline or Elizabeth Pentland.

Your logic is excellent but none of my Pentland records from that period offer an immediate solution. I do not have death or marriage records for ever Pentland female in that period but believe I have most of them. Other more pressing issues are diverting my attention from genealogy and will do for a few weeks. I have recorded your comments and will look more carefully at the possibilities when time allows but meantime there is another possibility.
George Henry Pentland of Termonfeckin was second solicitor to the excise in Dublin in the early part of the nineteenth century and undoubtedly his family would have continued to have god connections. Perhaps the middle name referred to a recommendation made for John McLaughlin and was no more than recognition of a favour done?
