Canada Lookup Request / Re: Robert OSBORNE - Carnbeg, Dunaghy / Canada
« on: Thursday 24 October 24 10:31 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much, Sandra
I've looked through these and can confirm that this is indeed the family!  By chance is there any death record for Marjorie Watson nee Osborne?
Thank you for taking the time to research this.

Canada Lookup Request / Robert OSBORNE - Carnbeg, Dunaghy / Canada
« on: Monday 21 October 24 16:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am trying to find out any information on the death of my Gt Gt Uncle, Robert James Osborne who was born in Carnbeg, Dunaghy, Co Antrim on 12 May, 1878.  My Granny recalls uncles dying in both America and Canada and both were called Robert.  I found her maternal uncle Robert (Parke) who died in America but haven't managed to find out any information on her paternal uncle Robert (Osborne).  Robert O possibly died in Toronto from an accident.  He apparently worked for Eaton Stores.  Have no idea when he left for Canada or whether he was married or had a family.  Any information would be gratefully received. Thank you.

That is indeed them. I’m on the hunt for descendants now as I’m related very far out. :)

Interestingly, James Craig’s Great Aunt Jane (his grandfather Robert’s older sister) married a Daniel Wisener and they too settled in Clogh Mills at the end of the 1800s. I wonder did they know about each other??

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Susan Craig 1886-1890

Thanks again, Aghadowey
I’ve tried to find his first marriage too but could find no details and I’ve tried to find a death registration for him, but again no luck.
I’ve read through the posts on WH Dempsey, thanks. This caught my attention as I’ve seen his name appear on a document as the father of a child born out of wedlock to one of James Dempsey’s daughters about 2 years prior to his marriage to McAtamney.  I was therefore wondering if they were far out cousins in some way.

Thanks, Aghadowey
That makes for hard reading! Tough times and I particularly feel for his poor wife Elizabeth and his children. Despite the poor start, some of his descendents have done ok for themselves.
Two more questions:
1. Do we know what became of James Dempsey? His wife Elizabeth died in 1926 having survived the death of their son in WW1 from wounds and her eldest daughter dying in childbirth a couple of years before her own death.
2. Is James Dempsey in anyway related to William H Dempsey of Ballinameen?
Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Thank you for the reply. Yes it is. That is Elizabeth’s first marriage. She then went on to marry James Dempster although they reappear as Dempsey in various records.
Mr Nodwell appears to have died from an accident. Would love to know more as there was an inquest held.
I have also been unable to find out what became of her second husband James as he is down as a tramp of no fixed residence by the time her youngest daughter Annie is born.

Hi, I am also connected to the Craig family of Garvagh and have been doing some recent research. My connection is via Elizabeth Craig, sister of Robert who married Matilda Morrison and therefore Aunt of Mary Jane Blakeboroigh and Susan Whitfield. Happy for you to reach out for more info.

 ;D  I've read the book and recognised the name in your post so thought I'd comment.  Good book.  Did you ever find out what the Garvagh link was?
