Hi: Just signed up and saw your invitation to research Larmours. Here's a brief outline of my Larmours (of what we know todate):
Samuel and Jenny Larmour (nee Ballagh) of Ballymiscaw (no marriage reg as yet)
Children:
William Larmour (1845)...bapt at Dundonald: remained at Ballymiscaw and later Moscow St. Belfast, likely buried at Dundonald, St Elizabeths church
Nathaniel Larmour(1844) and Ellinor Moore Ballyskeagh(my grt grandfather who came to Canada in 1875)
Mary (1842) baptised at Dundonald
Robert (1841) came to Canada
Samuel (1840) came to Canada
Letitia (1838, baptised at Dundonald)
Jane (1837) believed to have come to Canada with brothers
James (1835/36) came to Canada about 1860
John (1831) came to Canada with spouse, Marion Miller, and daughter, Jane (1855)
My uncle said their were apparently 16 children. We know that their mother Jenny died in 1875 and possibly their father in 1867. Likely the remaining children that we don't know about were born prior to John in 1831
Needing to obtain : marriage registration for John Larmour and Marion Miller (Born1834/35) and married Sept 25, 1854 at Ballymacarrett.
Any ideas how to obtain the death registration for William Larmour and his spouse, Sarah Jane Larmour (died 1932 I believe) (nee Mawhinney); both probably buried at Dundonald (St Elizabeths church at the Larmour grave site). Seems the church does not have these records. Of course we're (the Larmons in Ontario......I live in BC) always looking for the Larmours born prior to 1831 to Samuel and Jenny Larmour......may have lived elsewheres in Ireland prior to Ballymiscaw.
Lastly and important.... confusion in the name: all the Larmons here in BC and Ontario provinces were known as larmons; in Ireland they were all known as larmours(!); however on marriage documents of william and nathaniel. it is spelled both ways. Spent a lot of time going in the wrong direction, even when we were in Ireland in 1999! Thanks so much, Al
