You can check to see if any of the family signed the Ulster Covenant in 1912 or are listed in the new Wills index on PRONI site (was out of order but hopefully working soon): www.proni.gov.uk

PRONI's working again 8)

It may have been closed due to the government site being hacked.

Wills search is still not working at present, but I think it will be shortly as there seems to be a bit of a change on the website.

Covenant search isn't quite back to normal yet either. Short while ago I put in a first name and surname and strange message came up. Changed query to just surname and two pages came up.

Hi  :)

I have Goodfellow ancestors too.

My GGG Grandmother Catherine Goodfellow born 1844c Ireland, her parents were George Goodfellow and Hannah Goodfellow.

Catherine married my GGG Grandfather Robert Clark/e on 5/1/1865 at Newtonhamilton, Church of Ireland.Robert's parents were John Clark and Mary Skinner.

Catherine's usual address at time of marriage was Altnamackan and Robert's was Tullyvallen.

They had 4 children in Ireland before coming to Scotland , roughly around 1872c as they are first recorded in the 1881 census for Old Kilpatrick Scotland, there first child born in Scotland was around 1875.

The Goodfellow name comes all the way down the generations of Clark/e as a middle name.
