Antrim / Re: Belfast McCleans
« on: Tuesday 27 December 22 23:02 GMT (UK) »
Greetings to all from Australia. I have come into this conversation on a slightly different line - William Trimble and Margaret McLean. I am trying to find evidence of their marriage as I have a distant connection to one of their sons, William. They are the parents of William Trimble 1819 - 1890 and Robert Trimble 1824 - 1899. Robert Trimble is quite well known as Colonel Robert Trimble, Judge of the Native Land Court New Zealand but they both ended up there.
William's (1819 - 1890) married Mary Ann White in 1843 at Tyrone and although his death certificate does not give his parents names, his obit says he was born near Belfast 1819. Brother Robert's death certificate has more info thankfully - Parents William Trimble and Margaret Maclane and also says he was born near Belfast. So I ma thinking the Trimbles are Belfast based and the McLeans are Tyrone based.
I did find this newspaper entry -Margaret Trimble relict of the late William Trimble died at Strabane aged 78 years June 12 1864 The Belfast News-Letter (Belfast, Ireland), Wednesday, June 15, 1864; Issue 32804 There seems to be a lot of men called William Trimble around at that time so I am not sure it is her although the link to Tyrone seems to substantiate it and it looks like Vicki agrees.
I thought perhaps Vicki and I should swap notes?
regards
Lyn
