Wondering if anyone can help me. Looking for information regarding Patrick Given/Givan who married Frances Patton on 19 December 1867 in Omagh. Trying to find out where they were originally from - might be Dungannon area. Patrick's father was William, a farmer and Frances father was listed as a private in the militia - have hit a brick wall and would appreciate any help.

Hi, don't see any additional church records but a William Givans appears in the Griffith Valuation 1860, Killeeshil Parish, Farmer, which is not too far from Dungannon, may well be your William.
Regards
Joe

Thanks, we looked at that but can't make the right connection. I am hoping that someone is tracing the same family tree as the Dungannon area is not a solid lead!!! Thanks Anyway

Hi Elaine
This is them but I am trying to find out where they came from prior to being married and moving to Omagh as they are not originally from there - this is where I am having all the problems!!!
-
there is a family tree on Ancestry for the family
would this be yours :)
I'm sorry but I am not very good at finding early Irish records
but will look through what Given records I have to see if I can find anything

Most Pattons in Tyrone (of the Catholic variety), lived around the Castlederg- Strabane area. As you may know Irish national team soccer goalie, Shay Given is from across the river in Lifford, Donegal.

I am looking for information on the family of John Howard Patton born in 1858 in Omagh to Joseph Patton and Elizabeth Harwood. father Joseph was in the militia. family lore has it that after Elizabeth died about 1869 or so, John Howard was sent to music school and ended up a musician in the Army. He emigrated to Boston, Ma, USA in 1887 and married Margaret Reilly (from Strabane?). Family lore also has it that a brother emigrated to the US and went to Pennsylvania or Ohio. I'd love any information on this family. John Howard Patton was my great-grandfather.

Am also looking for further information on the Eliza Patton who died in Tyrone in 1869 age 44. Would like to establish whether or not she is Eliza Harwood Patton, wife of Joseph Patton. Family lore has it that my great-grandfather's mother died when he was 11. He was born in 1858, so 1869 fits for his mother's death.
does anyone transcribe and/or photograph cemetery headstones? I have found it helpful to establish relationships if the headstones are either next to each other or sometimes even combined.
