can anyone connect Joseph Smallwoods, born 13th Nov., 1837 in Brackfield, Lower Cumber, Co. Londonderry, married first Margaret Bovaird on 1st September, 1857 and secondly Eliza Simpson on 26th Nov., 1866. With Samuel Smallwoods, born 1830, married Elizabeth Dallas (Dollas) on 17th December, 1857 in Dungiven Presbyterian Church, Co. Londonderry.

Previously-
(should be on Londonderry board)
I have Thomas Smallwoods, born 1815 married ? Had son Joseph married 1. Margaret Bovaird and 2. Eliza Simpson. Joseph and Eliza had 6 children, one of whom married Thomas Norris. I have information on the descendants of Thomas Norris and Margaret Smallwoods. What I want to do is connect this Smallwoods family to Samuel Smallwoods married Margaret Ann Deans, Samuel Smallwoods married Anna Clements Tosh, I also want to connect Joseph Smallwoods who is on the 1911 census at Killenan, Londonderry as a grandson of Joseph Smallwoods and Eliza Smallwoods. He was born in Partick, Scotland 1901. His parents are Joseph Smallwoods and Eliza Smallwoods nee Goligher.

The Samuel who married Elizabeth was the son of a Samuel. Joseph was the son of a Thomas. It is quite possible that Samuel and Joseph were cousins.
At least one certain link between their respective lines did occur in a later generation when Samuel and Elizabeth's son, Samuel, married Margaret Deans and later Margaret Dean's younger sister, Eliza Jane Deans, married Joseph's son, Thomas.

I know about the Smallwoods/Deans connection and also the other connection is that James 1861, son of Samuel 1830, married Eliza,1874. daughter of Joseph, 1837. What I really want is to have the Samuel and Joseph link confirmed, are they cousins, are they uncle and nephew. We know that they are not brothers.
