Title: Given/Givan & Nicholson in Killaghtee Parish
Post by: skirl on Monday 15 February 16 18:59 GMT (UK)
Eleanor Givan [ca. 1808-1875] wife of John Givan [ca. 1820-1903] of Castlereagh died on 14 AUG 1875. Her maiden name was probably Nicholson. John & Eleanor Givan had one child, Eliza Jane [nee Given] Coulter [ca. 1846-1923]. Eliza Jane [nee Given] Coulter [ca. 1846-1923] had an Uncle Richard Given who was several months younger than her. Would anyone know more about these Given/Givan & Nicholson families?

I’m basically a beginner in this but obsessive.
Eliza is my great great grandmother. I know her father was John Given.
Did you find anything else since your post?

Thanks

Did she marry Andrew Coulter on 8 December 1868 at Killaghtee Parish Church, Co Donegal?
