Antrim / Re: Hilditch family of Antrim

Much appreciated Kingsgate.
You have solved another mystery for me - I have in my possession a 1914/15 Star belonging to William Marquis 15th Batt Royal Irish Rifles who was killed in action 1/7/16 at the Somme. I found him on the Covenant  PRONI records and got a few details on the Commonwealth War Graves site but couldn't find anything else. However I am assuming that the William John Marks at Cahoon Street was actually William John Marquis. Incidentially on the Commonwealth War Graves site and Thiepval memotial his name is spelt as Marduis.
Thanks again and would appreciate anything else you might have.

Hi Kingsgate thanks for that I would really appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide and would be happy to meet any postage costs if you have documents. I'm new to this and have found it really interesting.Regards GCLoyal

My surname is Hilditch. My great grandfather was Sandy or Alexander Hilditch who lived in the Whitehouse area of north Belfast. He died about 1962. I think he had a family of about 12 and I think my grandfather, James, was the eldest. He was born in 1907 and died in 1994. I live in the North Antrim area.
Hi - my great grandfather was also Alexander Hilditch from Whitehouse!! My grandmother was Cassie (Catherine) - James's sister. I have been trying to do some research just lately and have managed to trace some details on 1911 Irish census and Ulster Covenant on PRONI web-site but other than that nothing much else. Have you had any luck would love to know if you have as I would really like to put a family tree together. I now live in Queensland Australia.
