Armagh / Re: McCann / Castles M 1838 +/- 1 year
« on: Wednesday 06 April 11 16:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Thanks for posting, but at the moment the Elizabeth Jane Castles you mention is not part of my tree.
"My" Elizabeth Janes Casstles/Cassells was born in Feb 1816, married a George McCann in Sep 1837, they emigrated to Canada in the early 1840's and she died in Apr 1902.

Apparently she deliberately broke all contact with her immediate family for some reason, refusing to see a brother who visited her in Canada.

I can't find any record of her at all!

One thing to add to the above post (rather than edit it and miss those who have already read it...).

The youngest son of Geroge and Elizabeth, born in approx 1861 in Canada was William George Wesley McCann - perhaps indicating a link (tying together the Co Down link of Elizabeth and the name Wesley) to Wesley Castles who is listed on Griffiths as having property in the Magheralin area (as does two other Castles).

Hi folks,

Has anyone any info on the wedding of George McCann and Elizabeth Jane Castles (Cassels/ Castels) on 7th Sep 1837. They had two children, Jane Elizabeth and Lucinda before emigrating to Canada in the 1840's (where they had 7 further children). George was certainly from the Armagh area, but apart from figuring out that Elizabeth was from Co Down, I'm struggling to find anything on Elizabeth at the moment such as parents/location

The wedding was performed by Rev J Dolan

Not much luck in tracking down the Rebecca's other siblings, but I have found out that Andrew had a brother Alexander and his father was Pierce Bunting.

I'll try IGI again...

Many thanks! I can nver get the hang of the IGI site. When I put in the fathers name and do a search for siblings it finds Rebecca and not the other two, but when I put Sarah nmae in, it lists Andrew and Jane as parents.

The site does list Sarah as Sarah Jane though (we have her as Sarah Anne). No marriages though for her or her other "known" sisters.

IIRC, births before 1864 will not be shown? (is that right)

Hi,

Has anyone any info on Andrew Bunting (wife Ann?) who had children, William John, Margaret, Rebecca and Elizabeth and Sara Anne in the 1850's - 1860's. Rebecca married Thomas G McCann and died in 1943. Sarah married ? Hobbs?

Any help gratefully appreciated!

Cheers Hallmark, I didn't know about the records being in Scotshouse.

Finally figured out the Griffiths Valuation maps. Managed to get back another generation on the face of it.

Hi folks, trying to track down info on the parents of James Corbett (1862- 1947). Fathers name was William, mother was Mary Ann and James had a brother Francis. Can't find any record of the marriage or James's birth!

Any help gratefully received!
