Down / orange order in Newtownards
« on: Monday 02 June 14 16:09 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone helping with Orange Order family history requests or help?  I have just discovered my ancestor was in an Orange Lodge in Newtownards, LOL 1363 Greenwell Street.  Is there any way I can find out when he joined or any other info?

Thanks Gaffy, that's extremely helpful.  Can I ask where you got the info from?  I checked emerald ancestors and couldn't find anything.

Antrim / help to find marriage please
« on: Wednesday 18 July 12 00:26 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find a marriage for William Wilson and Rebecca ???????? 

William Wilson b.1869 Lisburn
Rebecca ??????? b.1868 Donegal or County Londonderry (depends which census you read)

1901 census Russel Street, Windsor Ward, Belfast
1911 census Erin Street, Windsor Ward, Belfast

Would be grateful for any help in finding a marriage so that I can get back another generation.  The poor woman I am doing this for paid some charlatan £100 to start her family tree and they said they could find no info, but after two days I'm making steady progress.  I am doing this FOC of course.

Thanks for the link Jim but I'm afraid it's not my lot.  TBH I'm puzzled what graveyard Methodists were buried in.

Down / where would they be buried?

My Campbell family were from the Donaghadee - Ballycopeland area and lived there around 1840 - 1880 (maybe for even longer).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for which graveyard they might be buried in?  It looks like some of them became Methodists because they where married in Donagadee Methodist church and others were Presbyterians.

I know the later generations are buried in Movilla Cemetery.

I agree Ady.  Lots of RGA were territorials, plus most RFA uniforms would have had a leather bandolier running from shoulder to waist.

I think it's Royal Garrison Artillery but it could also be Royal Field Artillery.  I am judging this by the shoulder lanyard and belt.  Pity there is no cap badge on view.

Anyone else notice the lack of putees in the lower picrure?

Devon Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Nicholls/ Drew marriage lookup

Thanks alot for the help.  It confirms my suspicions that John Alexander Nicholls was illegitimate. 

It looks like John Alexander Spring Nicholls, Master Mariner was a figment of his imagination.
