Hi,
I assume that the birth was 1846. There was a Ellen Taggart whose father was John and she married Joseph Reid in Connor Presbyterian Church on 13 Nov 1866. However I cannot say that she was yours.

Hi
Kingskerswell you just beat me to it. Gallabagh is not far from Kells and Connor so it is a high possibility that's her.

the birth is from an igi record and i am hoping that this is the correct one as i have not yet verified that the parents are from my tree , my gg grandfather is William Taggart born In Co Antrim Ireland then moved to Cambusnethan Scotland, John Taggart appears to be his father as far as i can make out, i have not had the time recently to go to Ireland to verify. The dates on Williams Headstone match up with the igi record and therrefore i am assuming that this is correct. I know that William Married Jane Johnstone (Co Down) in Cambunethan Scotland 13 Nov 1874 but have not got to the family history centre to verify marriage so as to get the parents from that.

Hi,
Civil registration of births did not start in Ireland until 1864. Before that you will have to depend on church records where these exist.

Evening
My Great Great Grandfather is also William Taggart, married to Jane Taggart (nee Johnstone), married 13th November 1874, Cambusnethan. I have verified that his parents were John Taggart (Farm Labourer) & Agnes Christie, who were both deceased in 1874 when William & Jane married. William died 18th February 1919, Bellshill & Jane died 20th November 1915, Bellshill.

Hi Val,
Still working away on the tree but as i am sure that you you Irish ancestry is difficult at best, all that i have on my Taggart tree as far as Ireland is concerned is John Taggart Married to Agnes Christie no birth or marriage dates,
Children
John born 1832
Elizabeth Carnochan 1834
Margaret 1840 Married in Ballymena to William Blane and moved to Scotland
Mary Jane 1843 d 1843
Mary Jane 1845
Ellen 1846 married to Joseph Reid 1866 Connor
and William 1852 (my 2nd Great Grandfather) married to Jane Johnston in Cambusnethan Scotland.
All of the children above were born in Gallanagh, Grange of Shilvodan.
John and Agnes are correct as far as William is concerned as i have their names on the Marriage document , the other children that i have, have been taken from familysearch.org (old one can`t find them on the new one as yet)
William and Janes Children are
John 1874
Agnes 1877
Isabella 1878
Margaret 1881
David 1884
Jane 1885
Mary 1888
William 1890
all born in Cambusnethan, Scotland
Hope this helps both of us
