Has anyone copied the 1901 entry for Hill Street, Lurgan which was on this site? Looking for Livingstone and McClean. Regards to all, Rosemary

Are you looking for information on James Livingston and Margaret McClean? I see at least a few baptisms at Lurgan First Presbyterian for Margaret 12-18-1870 DOB , Daniel 9-27-1873 DOB. Edward Wilcocks 5-24-1876 DOB
James is listed in Silverwood.
I rented a copy of some of Lurgan's 1901 census and am looking for Hill Street, but I may not have ordered all of Hill Street. It will arrive in perhaps 2 weeks. I am following Knocknashane Cullys, also.
Let me know more specifically which people you are trying to follow. There are lots of McCLeans and Livingstons/Levingstons. The Baptism records have a gap, but go way back.

Thanks for the Livingstone information. Mine lived in Ballydugan (Tullylish) which is a couple of miles outside Lurgan. I have researched back to the marriage of James Levingstone (!) and Rebecca Porter in 1872 in Lurgan and have found their children, including an adopted one.
As for the Cullys - they seem to have originated in Mullaghbrack and moved to Lurgan in the late 1880s. I can send you all my info if you send me an email address. Regards, Rosemary
-
Looking back on my notes, I see we never found our Cullys to link together. The Ballydougan link sounds far more promising.
-
Kat, have sent you an email with my research. Rosemary

Hi,
Have you checked for the name Livingstone/Levingston(e) in the rural townlands between Lurgan and Portadown. eg Ballygargan,Knocknamuckley and Drumnacanvey.
-
Not all of Hill Street was available and it was split in 2 sections in what I saw.
Non Catholic McCleans were on Avenue Road where many weavers were, but several census returns in 1901 were not available for that road and there was a McClean on Brown. I do not have records of Catholic McCleans and there was one servant. Which McClean would be of interest?
8 James Livingston COI 37 cambric weaver Eliza sister 25

Rosemary,
I probably sent you this already.
1 James Porter b: Knocknamuckley & Ballynagarrickweaver Knocknamuckley church
. +Eliza
2 Isabella Porter 1845 - b: February 22, 1845 bapt date
2 Ellen Jane Porter 1848 - 1876 b: February 26, 1848 Bapt date K K church apparently didn't marry as somewhat matches death age for that name d: January 28, 1876
2 Hannah Porter 1851 - b: December 26, 1851 bapt date K church
2 Samuel Porter 1858 - b: May 07, 1858 quite possibly with a Pollock wife, if so he is a postman in Knocknamuckley 1901 census
I have James Porter as the father of Rebecca Porter and that Knocknamuckley was where she lived. Do you know if this is the James above? He lived in Knocknamuckley and
I am hoping his son Samuel is the one in my tree.
I thought James Livingston had parents William and Elizabeth Thompson, though this may be from your records. Have you found much more? Who was adopted?
-
Yes Kat, you did. I haven't got any further with James Porter, but here is the marriage of James Levingstone and Rebecca Porter:
2 April 1872 in Lurgan Registrar's Office
James Levingston, 33 years, widower,weaver, Ballydugan, Tullylish, father William Levingston, farmer to
Rebecca Porter, 25 years, spinster,weaver,Knocknamuckley,Seagoe,father James Porter, farmer
witnesses Robert Dickson and John Levingston
Yes, James Levingston's parents were William Levingston and Elizabeth Thompson.
In the 1911 census Rebecca Livingston,(born Co. Armagh) widow and daughter Emma (30) still in Ballydugan, with James Abraham age 11 who the family say was adopted by Rebecca and James Livingston. I wonder who he was??

Isabella Mc Clean (1841-1915) who married James Livingstone is in the 1901 Census in Silverwood Brownlows Derry Armagh close to Lurgan. (daughter Ellen 1865-1957 married Ralph Hewitt Son Edward 1875-1941 married Mary Furphy 1876-1939 moved to Ontonagon MI and is in my tree) I have three other children and her father was Henry. :)
-
You wondered who the little boy adopted was - I don't know but from his surname Abraham he probably comes from the Montiaghs DED at the top of county Armagh on the shores of lough neigh - there are various Abraham families there, whom my wife is related to.

Hi Rosemary
I have been searching for my mother in relation to her father and my grandfather James Abraham. Our understanding is that my grandad, Jimmy, as we called him was adopted but little was know of the circumstances. I read your comments with much relief, could you please tell us how you came by this information.
Many many thanks
Paul
