Coe called "The Engineering Industry of Norther Ireland". He may be my 4th great grandfather. When he immigrated to Canada he was a teacher.

Robert Gardner - 01:28pm Aug 15, 2008 Irish (#765 of 1070)

I am looking for any descendants of a line of Mitchells that emigrated from Antrim, Northern Ireland sometime between 1890-1915. Earliest name is Burton Mitchel(l), born ca. 1800. He had a son Robert, born 1836 in Ireland, married Matilda Scott. Robert died at age 106. The following is his obituary, published in the local paper in Antrim, Ireland: Headline: Buried Nov. 7, 1942 Co. Antrim Patriarch Rec. W.M. Handman, Officiated at funeral service

"The funeral took place to Drumreagh Presbyterian burying ground, Ballymoney, on Saturday of Mr. Robert Mitchell, formerly of Eden, Ballymoney, who passed away at the age of 106 at the residence of his grandson, Mr. Mitchell, Antrim Road, Belfast. Born on 21st March, 1836, Mr. Mitchell was one of twins in a family of 14. His twin sister only survived until she was three years old. His father was one of a family of twenty-one, and Mr. Mitchell himself the father of seven children, five of whom are still alive. By trade Mr. Mitchell was a carpenter and engineer, having served his apprenticeship with the well-known Ballymoney firm owned by the late Mr. Robert Young. When Drumreagh Presbyterian church was being built he did the carpentry work along with his father, while his late father-in-law, the late Mr. Scott had the contract for carting the stones. He was the first communicant in Drumreagh Church after it was completed and his aunt, Miss Nancy M'Michael, was the first to be laid to rest in Drumreagh burying ground. A less melancholy association arose from the fact that two of his sisters, who like himself were intensely musical, were for many years members of the church choir. These sisters, like his other brothers and sisters, pre-deceased him. When he was one hundred and one his wife died, and at that time her age was eighty-seven. His surviving children are Mr. John Mitchell, 66, residing in San Francisco, Robert Mitchell, Philadelphia, David Mitchell, his youngest son, residing in Susanville(California), Mrs. Matilda Green, Toledo, Ohio, and Elizabeth Mitchell, Cabra, Ballymoney. Mr. Mitchell decided to leave the Ballymoney district and try his fortunes on Scotland, where he obtained employment with the Orchard Sugarhouse company, Greenock with which firm he remained for thirty-nine years. When in Scotland he built up for himself a high reputation as a designer and painter of flags and banners, supplying many prominent Orange lodges with the emblems. On returning to the Ballymoney area, he resided for a time at Glenstall, working as a farm labourer until a few years ago. Then he removed to Eden, not far from his birthplace Bendooragh, and from Eden he was accustomed at the age of 105, to make the trip on foot to Ballymoney and back, a total distance of about 10 miles, without showing very great signs of fatigue. At this age he made a practice of walking once a week to Bendooragh Post Office and back, a distance of about seven miles, to draw his old-age pension. At the age of 105 his eyesight began to fail, and he had to discontinue reading. His daughter, Miss Mitchell, who has suffered from defective eyesight from birth, was unable to look after him, and he had to leave his native district and go and live with his grandson in Belfast, where, except for the trouble with his eyes, he continued to enjoy remarkably good health and was actually ill for only three days before his death. Despite his advanced years he remained astonishingly alert mentally until the end. Among the episodes of local history which he could recall was the stirring revival campaign of 1859, the details of which vividly clung in his memory. He had deep knowledge of the Scriptures, and was able to repeat a great many of the Psalms without making a mistake. He was a lifelong teetotaler, but he was very fond of his pipe. Several members of his family set up remarkable records of longevity; a second cousin, for instance, having lived until he was 100. He was Mr. Alexander Mitchell Ree, who died about a year ago. Not only was his family remarkable for longevity, also for its birthrate. In his father's family of fourteen there were three sets of twins and this tendency had been repeated by his descendants of the fourth and fifth generations."

I am interested in corresponding with any descendants of this man, especially those of his daughter Matilda who married George William Green. They had a son Robert Burton Green who lived in Toledo Ohio. You can e-mail me at katsfan44@yahoo.com

I am looking for my ancestors on the Kelley,Kelly side. All relations on my dad's side are gone or so old they cant remember..My dad's dad was Albert Lindsey Kelley. He was born 8 May 1871 and died 14 May 1948,we were told that he was originally from Ireland and his parents also..I believe I have found my great grandpa and his name is William-born abt. 1835, Margaret-born abt. 1845 They married abt 1863+/- 1 yr. most likely in Co. Antrim. The children are Sarah born 1864-baptized at St Patricks, Belfast. Miller born abt. 1867. Amanda born abt. 1870, Albert born 1871-baptized at St Patricks, Belfast. Georgia born 1875. And John born 15 Feb 1885..And there is also a Richard mentioned born abt 1878. I am hoping that this is my great grandfather and his family,,we were told years ago that Albert had one brother but I did some checking and found out that there was a Miller and a John and that there was also some sisters. So I do hope that someone somewhere can help me run down my ancestry, so that I can have it to pass down to my two little grandsons and my son. It would mean so much to me to hear from some relations..You all take care God bless you and your loved ones,,,Cassie

McNeely; I am looking for some help on my Irish family that stayed in Ireland!!! I have been working on my McNeely line since 1991 and with the help of many other McNeely's in the states have amassed quite a bit of info., but thanks to a big fire in Washington D.C. in the early 1800's, I have not been able to tie all the way back to EIRE... The fire burned the 1790 and 1800 census!! We all over here believe that our Patriarch was, GEORGE MCNEELY, from County, Antrim. We think his sons were, Robert,Adam,George and John. They were in Pa., in the beginning(1700-1750) but migrated all over the states. I have found records from Ireland of McNeely's , sometimes spelled, Maneely, in Co. Antrim. I was wondering if anyone could help me to put together a family group of McNeely's in Co. Antrim between, 1700 and 1750. Maybe a ships list from that time frame. Anything on my family would be so greatly appreciated and I will gladly trade info., or compensate you all for your help..

Hello. I am Marge Israel. I live in California, USA. My great-great-great-grandfather was William Huston. I am not sure about the name of his Father. I think it was John H'o'uston (change of spelling here). William came to the United States of America when he was about fifteen years of age, it was back around 1730/35. From all I have studied about him, William was only a young man. Thus, I believe he would have had to come across with a parent (or parents).

When William was grown up, he married Agnes Nancy Hinman. Both, William and Agnes Nancy came here from County Antrim, Ireland. If you know anything about these families, please contact me at: margeisrael@aol.com

My Great Grandfather William Alexander McCONNELL born 24th April 1866 in Antrim, Ireland came to Australia in the late 1800’s as did my Great Grandmother Martha Ann TENNYSON. They married on the 16th March 1901 in Perth, Western Australia. William’s father was James McConnell , a farmer, born 1823, James second wife Helena (nee SHERLOCK) is my great great grandmother. James’ father was a John McConnell born in 1787 and died on 23rd June 1878 in Thistleborough, Antrim. John married a Margaret Ann THURST who was born about 1804 and died 1893. William my grandfather was the 6th child of 7 siblings of James and Helena. Matilda b.1859, John and James b.1860, Isabella and Robert b. 1862, and then William Alexander and Samuel Joseph b.1869. John, Isabella, William and Samuel apparently immigrated to Australia between 1887 and 1894. Samuel married an Ellen BAXTER in Western Australia. Robert may have immigrated to America. William’s death certificate states that he spent some time in Victoria and New South Wales before arriving in Western Australia. William died on 22nd August 1921 and his death certificate states that he had been in Australia or Western Australia 23 years. Martha was born in Crumlin, Antrim, Ireland although she came from Tyrone, Ireland and her father Joseph TENNYSON is listed as a farmer on Martha and William’s marriage certificate. Martha’s mother was Margaret GRIMES. Both Martha and William were buried in the Presbyterian section at Karrakatta cemetery in Perth, Western Australia. If you think you have anything that may help me find more about my family especially the Tennyson/Grimes side I would be most grateful.

NTh - 01:20pm Sep 24, 2009 Irish (#868 of 1070)

McConnell/Bollan/Mullholland

I require information for the following families from Killead, Ballymacihoyle, Antrim. My main source is Kathleen Genevieve McConnell. Born Killead in 1897 to John and Ellen (Bollan). Kathleen married in London in 1922 and stayed in London until her death in 1955. The recently released 1911 Irish census shows the only possible suspect to be lodging in Shankhill. The only likely John McConnell in Ballymacihoyle has been married to Kate Mullholland for only one year. He has two other children of his own James and John. If this is the correct John McC then I need to know what happened to his wife Ellen (Bollan). This John was born 1864 which would be about right.

Any possibly related info re McConnell, Bollan, Mullholland would be appreciated.

Cheers

Neil

I am researching the McAllister and McKinley families. John McAllister was born in 1844 in Ireland (village unknown). He came to USA by 1868 and married Rose McKinley. They lived in Titusville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. By 1880 however they had moved to Bayonne, Hudson County, New Jersey. In the 1900 census Rose is widowed and living in Greenpoint/Brooklyn/Kings County, New York. She and John had four children. In the 1930 census it indicates that Rose and John had come from Northern Ireland but that their parents were from Scotland. Please email me if you have any advice how to find the village or city they came from to USA or if you have more questions. Thank you. csds2625@comcast.net

Harper was a farmer and rented land from the O'Neill Estates. At the age of 17, she was married to Samuel Wilson (father Hugh - a weaver.) She had 3 much younger sisters, Mary Ann (1853) , Sarah May (1856) and Margaret May (1858). They all lived at Magheralane in Randalstown. (I would hazard a guess that James remarried.)

LAVERY, im trying to contact any relatives of a Patrick Lavery who left Co Antrim to work in Liverpool at a rough guess around 1905 and then went off to the mines in the North East, he met and married Matilda Hughes (think they met in Liverpool) and had a son called Thomas Lavery in 1917 (my grandfather who was born in the North East)and a daughter called Annie in 1906. My grandfather can recollect spending time on a farm in Ireland but we are not sure if this was when he was born or after.

My paternal grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Reynolds Scales, was born in Belfast in 1907 but came to England when she was a matter of a few weeks old. Her mother, Mary Jane, died at the age of 36 shortly after my grandmother was born. Mary was married to Arthur Scales who was a soldier from Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Previously, Mary had been married at the age of 14 (!) to a Michael Kennedy and had two sons, John (born 1886) and Francis (1891). Mary's father was David Brown (born 1843) and her mother was Bridget ? (1843). I would love to be able to trace any more Browns and Kennedy's.

They came to Canada ca. 1846 but don't show up until 1861 in the census. They may have gone to Boston first but can't prove it. Arthur may not have made it to North America as every one of his children named their first son Arthur.

MARSHALL - ROWAN - FITZPATRICK - FULTON - ASHCROFT - PALMER - MORROW -CARNMONEY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - am interested in the Marshall family of Carnmoney, Antrim County, Ireland, and they attended Carnmoney Presbyterian Church but may have lived in Carntall - not sure. My ancestor, Gilbert Marshall, married at Carnmoney church on June 1, 1748 to Martha Rowan, daughter of William Rowan and Jane Marshall, whose marriage is listed in the Carnmoney church records as being married on April 2, 1717 by Rev. Andrew Crawford. Family lore says Gilbert Marshall was a son of Sir Gilbert Marshall and wife, Catherine Fitzpatrick. Sir Gilbert Marshall supposedly was born in Belfast and died in 1783 and is buried at Carnmoney graveyard. However, in the Baptismal and death records there is a John Marshall who would be the right age to be the father of my Gilbert Marshall. This John Marshall was buried at Carnmoney and died January 10, 1772 (age 90 years) and was born about 1682 - therefore he would have married about 1705. His grave is number G164 and is a low stone with crest.

There are some Marshall baptismal records as follows: all children of John Marshall being an unnamed son Marshall - bapt. Feb 1, 1712; Jenat Marshall bapt. July 28, 1714; William Marshall bapt. March 25, 1717; John Marshall bapt. Dec 20, 1719 and Mary Marshall bapt. Decemeber 9, 1722 - all listed as children of John Marshall (who appears to be the John Marshall who died 1772 above). Could the unnamed son of John Marshall, who was bapt. Feb 1, 1712, be my Gilbert Marshall? Also the John Marhsall who was bapt. 1719 married Margaret Fulton circa 1751 ? and this John Marshall is buried at Carnmoney and died on April 5, 1777 (age 58 years) . His wife, Margaret Fulton Marshall died on July 29, 1769 age 37 years. They are grave number G163 and is a low stone with crest.

My ancestor Gilbert Marshall and wife Martha Rowan had their first child baptised at Carnmoney who was Jane Marshall (my ancestor) who was bapt. there April 22, 1750 then the family came to Pennsylvania in the United States where the rest of their children were born.

The church historian at Carnmoney sent me a copy of page 287 of a book by Francis Joseph Bigger (c. 1900) and it says - 1777 - Marshall family is extinct in the parish but there are representatives through the female line. They formerly held considerable lands near Carnmoney Meeting house. The Rev. Futt Marshall of Ballyclare, was a member of this family. and the present Master of the Rolls, Andrew Marshall Porter, is also of the same extraction. The Marshall arms are: Three rose leaves, two and one. Surmounting the shield an esquire's helmet with mantling. Crest: A cross patted. There are two yellow sandstones similar in all respects with the Marshall arms engraved in panels upon the faces in the church graveyard - which must refer to the headstones of John Marshall (died 1777) and John Marshall who died 1772 mentioned above and thus connect them somehow to Sir Gilbert Marshall.

There is one other burial recorded in the records of Carnmoney - Isabella Marshall, elder daughter of W. J. C. Allen, born December 13, 1845 and died February 2, 1900 - who must have married a Marshall descendant of the above.

There are other Rowan Marriages recorded at Carnmoney: William Rowan and Agnes Ashcroft were married June 16, 1748; John Rowan and Agnes Palmer were married 1750/1751; a Morrow married Margrat Rowan circa 1752 - pages are damaged and unable to read.

Sara (Sarah) Hughes b. ca 1819 Belfast, County Antrim, Ulster, Ireland d. 27 Aug 1894 (82 years of age)Buckingham Quebec? internment with John and family St-Eugène-de-Prescott Ontario. John was not born or raised Roman Catholic (RC)He converted at 56 years of age. Sara appears to have been RC. They probably brought their first two childrn Elizabeth and James with them to Canada during or just prior to 1844. They settled first at Ste-Marthe Vaudreuil Quebec then moved on to St-Eugène-de-Prescott where they farmed and raised their family. The family headstone is at this parish cemetery. Early in my research before I started documenting my resources, I found some indication that John's father's name was Nathaniel. Any information re: John, Sara, or children born in Ireland would be greatly appreciated. As they are my 3rd great grandparents. I have considerable information on their family and will be pleased to share. There are many non RC Wylie, and "sounds like" in Prescott County. I hope to find that John was a brother/related to these family groups.

Re Bridget McCann of County Antrim

I saw where you were wanting information on Bridget McCann (Layden). I don't know if it is the same Bridget but I will give you my information anyway.

John McCann married Bridget Wall in Randallstown County Antrim.They had several children two of which migrated to Australia in the 1800s. These were John and Bridget who were 17 and 14 years old at the time. John Married Margaret Atkinson from Ireland and had two children, one of which was my grandmother, Mary Jane. John died at 41 when Mary was just 8 years old. Mary Jane married William Upton and I was born to Patrick her son but he was killed when I was only 10 months old. Bridget McCann married Patrick Layden and she signed my great grandmother's death notice (Margaret McCann nee Atkinson as her sister-in-law. Both Margaret and John died at 39 and 41 respectively leaving Mary Jane and another daughter Anastasia Bridget who were only little children 5 and 9 years old.

I'm looking for details of the birth of my grt grandmother Eliza Jane )aka Jane, Jean, Jeanie)Finnegan born in Belfast about 1874. I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct spelling of her surname.

Her father was a soldier named Patrick Finnegan and her mother was Catherine Cochran. I got this from her death/marriage records - she died in Scotland.

I did try and find her death record with PRONI but they couldnt find it and I think there's a limit to the variations of surnames/dob that they are willing to search for.

So maybe if someone is going to the records office and has a few spare moments they might be kind enough to have a wee look for me.

Many thanks

Moira

Around 1930 they went to live in Larne, N. Ireland. The only other info is that John went blind, and Angela suffered from a heart defect,but eventually married someone named Kane.

Hi Ireland Roots,

I am endeavoring to find the names of the parents of Robert & Sarah H. Caldwell, who were my g/g/g/g/g-parents.

Robert was b. 1735, Belfast, Co. Antrim, Nthn Ireland. I believe that Belfast at the time of his birth would have been in the Parish of Shankill and he most likely was raised in the Presbyterian faith.

As for Sarah H. Todd, she was b. 1745, also in Belfast. I have no other details to add.

I believe they were married in ca. 1760 and migrated to America, through New York in either 1761 (which I found in notes taken of the proceedings when Robert attempted to claim compensation for losing his farm on Turners Patent 1764 at White Ck/New Perth/now Salem, NYS, in the American War of Independence, or 1764 (as a Robert Caldwell was on the 'Head of the Household" List of Passengers who left from Newry as part of what is known as "The Cahan Exodus, led by the Rev. Clarke, who negotiated alottments for his parishioners on Turners Patent 1764 at Salem, NYS.

Could anyone give me a clue as to where I can research the above information I am seeking or is able to research it personally for me.

Thanking you in anticipation of receiving some feedback to my request.

Cheers!

Bob Caldwell (Bendigo, Australia)

My great great grandfather was Robert Adams of Ballynacoy, Antrim. He had a twin brother, Thomas, and another brother, John. Robert had several children: Johnston, Sarah Jane, Christina, Mary Elizabeth, William, and Thomas who went to Liverpool and married Annie McMahon. I want to know more about Annie as she was my great grandmother. Apparently Robert's brother, Thomas's sons also went to Liverpool and opened a grocery shop.

John would have been about 20 years old and Eliza about 28. They may have lived in Tyrone. Does anyone have any ideas on the family of John Anderson? He lived in New Jersey and briefly in Virginia.
