Mista,
         I assume that you have the marriage of William and Narcissus (Nessy) and their other 5 children.

Yes, the marriage occurred in Ballygrainey Presbyterian Church, Bangor. In my last post I was referring to the births of the other children.

Like you I have found variations between KAIG and KEAGE. Howevey her first name is also varied between Nessy, Nessey, Agnes and Narcissus. The daughter Jane's birthday is also problematic. I have found a Margaret Jane born 23 Aug 1870 and a Jane McDonald Kaig born 5 Jul 1873 to these parents!!

Interesting as my Great Aunt was born and came to Canada with the name Narcissus Kaig Gray, so I will presume she was named after her grandmother, my grandmother was named Margaret Jane Gray, again I presume for her GAunt

Hello again,
Bought into a site, can see info on marriage of William Flemming to Nessey Keag...cant see any info on Nessey...So I guess I need to find out information on her

Found the family name spelt Keag, Caig, Kaig, Keage
Title: Re: Looking for any info on family from Newtownards
Post by: aghadowey on Saturday 13 November 10 10:06 GMT (UK)
The marriage certificate (1869) should list her residence at the time of the marriage as well as her father's name nd occupation, also names of 2 witnesses which might help. Since marriages usually took place in the bride's church it would be worth checking records for other relatives (unless it was a registry office wedding).

I've found Newtownards Registry Office very helpful in the past - if you call them with full marriage details (date/place/names) they will get you a photocopy of the original entry in the register for £4.

I can find her marriage certificate when she married Thomas Mackey in 1884 in comber but again I cannot find the births of any of their family and I know they had daughter called Sarah born 1897 and a son samuel born 1901 in county down they did have children before them but I can't find any birth records. I would be grateful for any help possible
