Hi ! Any help greatfully recieved.
My Husband's family are the Dineley's of Severn Street and further back ParkGate areas of Belfast.
He is the grandson of Albert Ernest Dineley and Elizabeth Maud nee Beattie.
Any body know of them/ remember them?
We believe that the family traces back to a Josiah Dineley who married a Mary Williams and have possible links with Port Glasgow as their son, Andrew is married in Belfast but recorded as living in Port Glasgow on his marriage in 1873 to a Sarah Crouch nee Shaw.
Thanks in anticipation
Tracy

Tracy,
The father of Andrew Dineley who married Sarah Crouch is recorded as ISIAH.
Regards

@kingskerswell,
Am updating after a recent visit to Belfast Records office. On my husbands tree Andrew Thompson Dineley(snr) married twice:
1. to a Sarah Crouch nee Shaw. On the 1873 certificate for this marriage, grooms father is Isaiah Dineley, a clerk.
2. to a Margaret Jane McClelland nee Moore. On the 1899 marriage certificate, the grrom's father is Josiah Dineley, a book keeper.
This is as far back as we can go at the moment. Any hlp suggestions greatfully appreciated.
Many thanks
Tracy

Hello
Here are a few pieces on your Dineleys. The first Ernest was born in July 1908 and died aged three days. As was the custom the name was reused when the second Ernest was born in February 1916.

Here is the Marriage Certificate for Andrew & Amelia

You have done well with such help here and Neil elsewhere. I have tried to put together what you may already know but as it is not straightforward here goes as a first draft in two parts
1. JOSIAH DINELEY {the 1st}b 1821/23 d 1867 bur Belfast m MARY WILLIAMS appears to be a RootsIreland marriage checkit out carefully any other Dineley in this record check Marys death why did he move to Belfast and whereabouts
Notes Neil above viz” IGI reference (Abt 1816) to the Josiah Dineley/Mary Williams marriage in 1840 in Clogher, Ulster Province; but since this is not referenced I wouldn't rely on it.” Clogher apparently extends over parts of Tyrone and Monaghan
residences this has to be him
in 1852 from http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/1852streetsmtoz.htm
McMaster's Row off Durham Street
8. Joseph Dinley, clerk McMasters Row off Durham Street. 5 little streets off Durham St drawn but not named see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jeanmccarthy36/1861_map_of_belfast.htm
in 1860 Josiah Dineley St. George's Ward Townparks [5] Raglan Street Shankill house and yard valued at £ 3 fifteen shillings pa see see http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
but is this him or son1862 Josiah Dineley Derryaghy Derryaghy Antrim map ref 46AB Ab has house and small garden valued at £ 3 ten shillings pa [ the top 5% locallly] area off A1 nr junction just nw corner of Aberdelghy Golf Course has a David Duncan living nearby
listed on valuation continuation books see https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/proni
Current PRONI Reference: VAL/12/B/8/2A (1862 - 1865) hes listed
Current PRONI Reference: VAL/12/B/8/2B (1866 - 1879) hes listed
Current PRONI Reference: VAL/12/B/8/2C (1879 - 1889) not found
so if he died this could have been one of his houses he left the other to his son or?

Hello
Thanks for the info. Josiah was living in Raglan Street, Belfast in 1860 and in 1862 he was living in Derriaghy. I think he is buried in the Shankill Cemetery, Belfast but need to check.
All the best

Thank you so much!!!!!
Does anyone have parents of each of the ancestors in the Dineley/Gray families? Sometimes people already have those things in their records.
Also, because of John Beattie, I'm very much interested in the Beattie connection. It was said in our family that we descended from Admirable Beattie. I have no idea if that is true.
I have James and Alexander Hillis' ancestors back quite far ... nothing on John Beattie. I don't even know who he married, if anyone.
Plus, my grandmother used to say we were related to Maxwells. I have since discovered that John Beattie lived with some Maxwells near the end of his life, but I do not know why.

Wow! Thank you! I could not find evidence of a spouse anywhere!
They named their daughter Mary Jane, too, and probably called her Jane because that's the name on her marriage license.
Do you happen to know the death record for James Hillis; father of Alexander Hillis? He was probably born around 1840.

which has ‘ the origin of the family name. It has been traced to "Betagh" (biadhtach) Beatagh, Beatty, the original meaning being a "public victualler." The family is said to be of Danish descent, but in the early Anglo-Irish records the Christian names are Norman. They were seated in Moynalty[Co Meath] from an early period, and branches of the family appear to have settled in Mayo, Galway and Clare.
