Hi,
I am looking for information on John Lees who lived in Leck, born in Scotland and Agnes Adams (Died Jan 1916), they had 4 children all born in Coleraine, Londonderry, John Lees, Martha Jane Lees, Minnie Lees and Agnes Adams Leese.
I know Agnes Adams Leese moved to NZ with her family in 1926 and have info from then on but would be interested in the rest of the family history -
Any help would be fantastic
Thanks
Rose

There is a likely marriage showing for John and Agnes (Nancy) Adams on the Irish Civil Registration Indexes:
John Lees, 1876, Coleraine, Vol. 6 pg. 549. Same reference for a Nancy Adams marriage.
Irish marriage certs. include the name of bride/groom's fathers to let you hopefully work back to the next generation.

Nancy/Agnes Adams married 1 (20 June 1876 Ballylintagh Presbyterian Church) to John Leese of Leck.
She was the daughter of James Adams (c1820-28 Aug.1882), Ballymenagh, and Jane (c1814-5 Jan.1892). Buried Ballylintagh Presbyterian Church.
Her grandfather father was John Adams of Ballymenagh townland (I don't have wife's name) andf his father was Thomas Adams.

Don't know that John Leese was born in Scotland. There's a marriage in 1857 for Martha Ann Lees of Leck to John Nevin so there were certainly Leeses in Leck by that date.
Added- children of John Leese and Nancy Adams (baptised Ringsend Presbyterian Church)-
John Leese, born 16 May 1880 Leck died Dundee, Scotland
Agnes Leese born 18 Apr.1882

Ringsend Presbyterian Church- "Erected to the memory of William Henry late of Camm who departed this life 25th Septr. 1855 aged 51 years. Also his wife Elizabeth who departed this life 10th March 1871 aged 39 years. And also William Henry Camm who died 29th November 1911 aged 67 years. And his son Samuel who died 16th July 1908 aged 18 years. And also his wife Nancy, who died 27th January 1916 aged 65 years. And also their son Henry Adams who died 1st April 1916 aged 25 years. Margaret Jane (Peggy) Henry, wife of John Henry, Ballyvennox, who died 7th June 1875, aged 35 years.
2nd headstone: "In memory of Janie Martha Johnston, dearly loved wife of William J. Henry, Camm, died 15th November 1944. William James Henry, beloved husband of Minnie Henry died 8th April 1978, aged 92 years." "Erected by the family"
Also meant to say earlier that the births and marriages did not take place in the town of Coleraine- in these cases Coleraine is the name of the registration district.

Yes yes this is the right family - thanks for all the information it has started to fill my gaps...
I also need help with finding out any information on William James McAleese who married John and Nancys daughter Agnes Adams Leese. WIlliams parents are James McLese and Ann Robinson of Killure, Coleraine. Williams was born 28/3/1876 in Killure and he diedin New Zealand in 1938.
We would like any info on James and Ann and their families. We have no dates for anything for them
We know william and Agnes left for NZ from Largs with their 4 children in 1926 and that Williams brother john want to see them off.
Thanks for your help
