Mother's side left much later—from Derry & Belfast in the early 60's—notably to get away from the Troubles— but that's another thing altogether (yet still rooted in English interference...).

Still it's long been on my list to visit. I still have family in Belfast and Newcastle and some in Edinburgh and London. There's even an old Fairlie castle I'd like to see. Reminder of what became a family of tradesmen used to be haha... it's kind of striking to read back in family history and seeing a few common names repeated again and again. Mine pops up in this article (namesake, rather) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairlie_Castle

Sadly, the family is noted as being extinct. We're still here, just not reflective of what it was, I suppose.
