Thank you for your help. My Grandfather was born Aug. 1866 in Lurgenville, Moira, County Down. His Father was Alexander Harvey and Mother Jane Titterington. Do you have any information on Alexander or Janes Birth or death dates? The John Harvey you mentioned born in 1828 may well be Alexander's Father and Grandfather to John, my Grandfather. Any other information you have would be appesiated, or if I can be of any help to you, please let me know.  Nancy :D

Hello Nancy,

I am wondering where you are located. Do you know of the member of the Titterington family in this URL  http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/titterington/ - ?  Would his family be descendents of the family you are researching ? I have no further information at the moment
I will do some some more research on this family and keep in touch with you.

Jane Titterington, Marries to Alexander Harvey had a brother James Titterington, who came to Minnesota in the USA on or before 1882. My Grandfather John came here at the age of 16 and lived with him. I don't have any information on the Titterington's that remained in Ireland.  ???

Were the Titterington & Harvey families about whom you need information Church of Ireland, Presbyterian or Moravian  ?
I mention the latter because Elizabeth & Rebecca were buried in the Moravian graveyard.

The dates of the marriages make me think there may be a relationship between some of the Titteringtons on the list I posted on the 10th April

I am a first time user of this site and must hope you get this message. My grandmother was namely, Esther Jane Titterington daughter of Alexander Titterington and Mary Anne McAleenan resident in Ballyknock, Parish of Moira on the date of marriage viz; 6 May, 1862 at Moira Parish Church by Rev W.H. Wynne by licence according to the rites and ceremonies of the Unied Church of England and Ireland. Alexander and Mary Anne came to Glasgow where my grandmother Esther Jane Titterington was born on 5 September, 1869 at Glasgow where she died on 4 July, 1942. Back in 1983, I contacted the Titterington's of Moira - there were only three listed in the phone book them. I wrote to all three who got together and nominated one of their number to reply namely, Mrs Kay Simpson nee Titterington. Kay did a wonderful job in visiting the Record Office and recording by hand every entry for the Titterington's which remains in my possession. I am willing to share this with you - so please direct any questions and I will endeavour to answer. Although Mrs Simpson nee Titterington and I could not establish a family relationship there were family likenesses in photographs - but in spirit we felt a stong sense of kinship. I will always be indebted to her for all her valuable work on my behalf and remember with considerable fondness our meeting in Moira about 12 years ago. Interestingly enough an entry in my Family History Record jumped off the page a few minutes ago. It read: Jane Titterington married Alexander Harvey on 15th June, 1866 at Moira. I hasve often wondered given the name Jane as a middle name to my grandmother if the said Jane who married Alexander Harvey was a sister to my grandfather Alexander Titterington who married Mary Anne McAleenan whose father incidentally was Henry McAleenan (Labourer). I look forward with some eagerness to hearing from you. Yours etc. Bob Currie

Post by: Strathaven on Tuesday 05 July 05 19:24 BST (UK)
A further check of my records reveals that when Alexander Harvey mareried Jane Titterington on 15 June, 1866 both were resident in Ballyknock, Moira. I also note from Mrs. Simpson's notation that Jane's father was John Titterington (Labourer) and it was this piece of evidence plus the middle name Jane to my grandmother Esther Titterington that made me think somewhat positively that there is a connection with my line here especially since Esther's grandfather was namely, John Titterington of Ballyknock. Mrs Simpson also notes that there is no baptismal record for Jane. In 1983 there were 28 Titteringtons listed in the Northern Ireland phone directory. Of these only three were resident in Moira. According to information which I received from the Director of Public Record Office of NI and Administrator of the Ulster Historical Foundation the name Titterington appears in the Tithe Applotment Book for the Parish of Moira dated 1823 and 1829. The name also appears in the printed valuation. There are seven properties occupied by individuals named Titterington in the printed version of the tenenement valuation in 1864 and these include under the heading (ORD s. 13, 14, 20, 21)
John Titterington whose immediate lessor is Thomas G Scandrett in respect of a house total annual valuation of rateable property ten shillings and Jane Titterington whose immediate lessor is the Marquis of Downshire House and Land £1.5/- and William Titterington for the same lessor House and Land also £1. 5/
I personally think that John Titterington with house at 10/- could be my great-great grandfather but cannot prove. I think this because one William Haskins or Hoskins appears on the printed version of the tenement valuation of 1864 who is leasing a house from one John Arburthnot for ten shillings annual valuation and as it happens one William Haskins or Hoskins was witness to the marriage of my grandfather Alexander Titterington to Mary Anne McAleenan in 1867. Again I cannot prove.

Hi

I am Alan Cookson and have been tracing my mothers name of Titterington for over twenty years and during that time and amassed over 20,000 references worldwide of which are now part of a one name study. I try and help other Titterington family members trace their ancestry. I always get stuck with the Irish side were they have been since abt 1755. I see from Bill Curries posting that a Kay Simpson help transcribe a lot of Titterington data and was hoping that he may be able to share that info with me to add to my database and thus enable me to share with all the requests I get for info. My photo can been seen on the Titterington website and get an idea of what my colleagues and I can offer free of charge, It is my hobby

Thanks to anyone who can help

Hi Neah

Very interested in your research names.  My Great Aunt Elizabeth Titterington was born in Moira in 1893.  Her mother was Mary Titterington (no father known).  Mary was the daughter of Edward & Margaret Titterington.  Elizabeth was raised by relations in Belfast (we have been led to believe that she was living with an Aunt) .  When Elizabeth signed the covenent she was living at 2 Devonshire Villas, North Parade Belfast.  The person who signed the covenent before her was C M Dobbin.  As Elizabeth was only about 18 when she signed I thought perhaps she might have gone with someone - they both gave their address as North Parade so I have been trying to find a Dobbin connection.  How is your Dobbin family connected to the Titterington's?  Would be very interested to know if they are related.

I believe that Edward Titterington, married to Margaret Turnbull in Moira (St John'sChurch) in 1857 was my ancestor.  I think he may have been raised in  or near Slaidburn, Yorks as I can't find any evidence of him in Ireland before his marriage.  Any help would be much appreciated.

My great grandfather James was born in Moira and was son of Edward.

Thank you for this.  I have details of this marriage, but am now trying to get details of their births/baptisms.  My theory for Edward is that he was born in Slaidburn, Yorks, (1841 census) but desperately searching for proof that this was so.

Better late than never with replying on these forums. I believe the Joe Banks you mention is a great or GG grandfather of mine although I haven't worked that one out yet. What was the sister called who married him? If it is my great grandfather then I can fill you in more details regarding that side of your family that exist today. If not he's definately a relative of my great grandfather (who was definately Joseph Banks of Moira) - and possible even his own father.

Anne, i sent you an email yesterday to an address i found for you on another site.

Ellen Titterington would have been my great grandmother then....

They in fact had 8 children - the four you name - Joseph, Thomas, Matt & May and also Isaac, Angelina, Getrude and George. After Ellen died, Joseph re-married a woman called 'McKeown' from the Aghalee area - i'm unsure of her first name - and had one more son, Samuel.

Of Joseph and Ellen's children - what I know is:

Joseph - Married an English woman called Kathleen - unsure of her surname and I believe they had two children Ian and David

Matt - I believe he married but haven't found out anymore on him yet

Isaac - Died young, but unsure the reasons why - or indeed how young - I believe a violin that was passed down the family was his.

Thomas - Married a woman called Jessie and they had a son and a daughter called Roy and Shirley

May - don't believe she married but had a son called Ian - May moved to England

Angelina - Married a man called Kennedy - they had 10 children, Trevor, Norman, Jim, Moira, Ella, Mervyn, Gilbert, Tom, Ernest and Dawson

Gertrude - Married a man called Fred - they lived in an area called Gawley's Gate and are buried at Soldierstown Parish Church

George - Born 28th May 1919 - he married Rachel Walker and they had four children, George, Ella, Ray and Audrey - George is my grandfather, making Joseph and Ellen my Great Grandparents.

Hi


for many years, I have helped fellow researchers trace my mothers name of Titterington and am now a member of a Titterington one name study. I have recently been asked again to try and help with some of the Northern Ireland Families with that name. Although I have over 25,000 pieces of data the NI family is very much disjointed due to missing records. I would like to ask for a copy of any transcroptions you have and if possible for any NI record re Titterington. I would also be willing to share anything I Have.

Bob, I have read with interest your above account and in particular, that you have information from Mrs Kaye Simpson that you are willing to share.  My great great grandfather was Edward Titterington.  He married Margaret Trimble and they raised their family in Moira.  Edward was a sexton of St John's church in his later years.  His marriage certificate claims that his father was called John whom we believe was married to Mary Wolfington/Wolfendon.  He had two younger sisters, Mary and Emily, but I wonder if he had any brothers too?  He named his sons William John b 1859, James b 1862 and Edward b 1865 His daughters were named Margaret, Emily, Emily and Eliza Jane. (Janet was a highly respected name in our family?)    Does the material that you have from Kay Simpson include any of the names mentioned in my family?  It seems that there were a number of Titteringtons within a relatively small area and it would seem logical that they are somehow related .... just a case of finding the right link.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I am a first time user of this site and must hope you get this message. My grandmother was namely, Esther Jane Titterington daughter of Alexander Titterington and Mary Anne McAleenan resident in Ballyknock, Parish of Moira on the date of marriage viz; 6 May, 1862 at Moira Parish Church by Rev W.H. Wynne by licence according to the rites and ceremonies of the Unied Church of England and Ireland. Alexander and Mary Anne came to Glasgow where my grandmother Esther Jane Titterington was born on 5 September, 1869 at Glasgow where she died on 4 July, 1942. Back in 1983, I contacted the Titterington's of Moira - there were only three listed in the phone book them. I wrote to all three who got together and nominated one of their number to reply namely, Mrs Kay Simpson nee Titterington. Kay did a wonderful job in visiting the Record Office and recording by hand every entry for the Titterington's which remains in my possession. I am willing to share this with you - so please direct any questions and I will endeavour to answer. Although Mrs Simpson nee Titterington and I could not establish a family relationship there were family likenesses in photographs - but in spirit we felt a stong sense of kinship. I will always be indebted to her for all her valuable work on my behalf and remember with considerable fondness our meeting in Moira about 12 years ago. Interestingly enough an entry in my Family History Record jumped off the page a few minutes ago. It read: Jane Titterington married Alexander Harvey on 15th June, 1866 at Moira. I hasve often wondered given the name Jane as a middle ename to my grandmother if the said Jane who married

Bob - I am very interested in the fact that you say that you have a copy of the entries from the record office.  I would be extremely interested to see this information, if you are willing to share it with me.  I am descended from Edward Titterington and his wife, Margaret Trimble.  His parents were John and Mary Wolfendon.  The births of some of Edward's children were recorded in Moira Church along with those of the children of George and Margaret, Richard and margaret and John and Rebecka.  Due to the close proximity of the townlands, and the fair uniqueness of the name of Titterington/Titterton it would seem likely that the above are all possibly related.  I would be very interested to see if your records are able to take me any further in my quest.

Dear Bob,

I am a Titterington, whose family originated in County Down, Ireland.  I noticed your post about Esther Jane Currie, nee Titterington.  You mention that you have the marriage certificate for Alexander Titterington and Mary McAleenan, her parents, who were married in County Down.  I have tried to find that certificate, but have not been able to find it.  In addition, you mention that you have information from a Mrs. Kay Simpson about County Down Titteringtons.  I would really like to get more information about this.  Is there some way that I can access your information?

I have an old family photo - I imagine c.1900 which is supposedly May Mills who married a Titterington (Dublin probably) does this ring any bells with anybody?
Thx

I am a great grandaughter of Alexander and Mary.  They lived in Glasgow where he died in 1887 aged 43.   She remarried a McLoughlinn and died in 1909.  Both certs attached .  They are listed in the 1881 and 1891 census in the Bridgeton areea.  I would really love to have a copy of their marriage cert.

My G grandmother was Mary Ann Haslem nee Titterington.  She shows up in the 1901 census as residing with her brother James Titterington in Lurganville, Moira, and is listed as 44 yo.  I know she had at least 3 children, Samuel Titterington (aka Samuel Haslem), Minnie (or Mary) Haslem, and Thomas Haslem.  Does anyone have information on this branch of the Titteringtons?

Hi,
   A little more information on the above marriage. The fathers'names were John Heslem and Richard Titterington. While searching for the fathers I came across acouple of oddities,

10 Aug 1877 Nathaniel Heslem (father John) married Susan Murphy in Aghalee C of I, Lurgan

31 Jan 1877 Robert Tittering (father Richard) married Maria Heslem (father John) in Shankill C of I, Lurgan

Regards

Thanks, you both just confirmed a suspicion that I had that Nathaniel was previously married.  I had found a reference to a marriage of William John Haslem in 1913 that listed his father as Nathaniel.  Nathaniel also willed his farm to Thomas Haslem and Robert Titterington, now I see the possible connection there.

The information on the Joseph Banks family is not quite correct.  Joseph was my Grandfather and his family consisted of James (who emigrated to the United States where he married). I have no further information on him; Selina (Not Angelina) who was my mother, Joseph, May, Thomas, Matthew, Isaac, George and Gertrude.  Joseph went to live in Derby and married Kathleen. Sorry I do not recall her maiden name.  They had one son named David.  May was a nurse in Devizes and had a son Ian.  She later moved to Derby and was married to a man named Leslie (Sorry again no surname).  Gertrude married a man called Fred Gawley and they did indeed live at Gawley's Gate.  If I garner any more information from family members I will post it.

I'm wondering if anyone has any information on David Tetrington, born 01 Jan 1844 in Hillsborough, County Down, NI.  We believe his parents were Francis (b. abt 1817) and Sarah (b. abt. 1816), based on the 1860 census in Marcellus, Onondaga Co, NY.  We'd like to find out more about Francis and Sarah.  (Other children would be Thomas (abt 1841), Elizabeth (abt. 1845), Richard (abt 1847), Sarah (abt. 1849) and Mary (abt 1851), all born in Ireland.

Hi

I'm looking for information on Mary Titterington born Moira, Co Down.  She had two children Thomas Titterington (my Grandfather) born 16 August 1887 and Elizabeth Titterington born 12 January 1893.  On both Thomas and Elizabeth's birth certificates there is no mention of a father.  We understood Mary's maiden name was Trimble but are now having our doubts.  Mary later married Daniel Bann and had a further 7 children.  Mary also had two sisters - one married Joe Banks and the other married a McClelland.  Any information on Mary, her parents, sisters and her daughter Elizabeth would be greatly appreciated.   You can email me direct at Moderator Comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuses.
