Thank you once again for the additional information.   I'm feeling more certain that this Lucius may indeed be Charle's brother and perhaps why (after moving to the US) named his first son after Lucius.  Looks like I may be getting closer to discovering their parents names and any birth records that would show Lucius and Charles Crymble were brothers and may even indicate other siblings as well. 

A special note to Rosemary Joan - Loved the story and history you shared with me.  It's the little things like that which make it all the more real.   I could almost picture the little music store as I read your note.  There are several in my family who were/are musicians on some level (I, unfortunately) am not one of them).  My grandmother played the organ and my son plays guitar well and dabbles at the piano.

One of the links you provided wouldn't allow me access, but all the others did.   So, I'll keep at it and hopefully continue to find more clues in the process, but I do tend to agree with you that it looks like these two were most likely from the same family.  Perhaps there are descendents who are living in or near this same area today.    Exciting stuff either way...and I thank you all again!

Hello all,

This is my first time using the Roots Chat site so please steer me in the right direction if I'm not doing this correctly.

I've been searching for the parents of Charles Crymble (my great, great, great grandfather) without much success.  Here's what I know for sure from his original family register given to me by my mother:

l.  On this register as well as several US census reports, he lists his origin as Newtownards, County Down, Ireland.

2.  His date of birth was March 18, 1795.

3.  He emigrated to the US sometime between 1795 & 1826, settled in Embden, Maine and married Martha Thompson on April 30, 1826.  Was married by a JP but no info on his parents.  Unsure whether he came over from Ireland alone, with family members or if he had any siblings.

4.  The US census indicates he was a farmer.

5.  They had seven children:
Lucius Connor  Crymble   October 16, 1826
Margaret H.  January 25, 1828  (only survived for two months)
Nelson   January 29, 1829
John H.   November 1, 1830
Martha   October 21, 1832
Charles Jr.  July 9, 1835  (Served & was wounded in the Civil War - 3rd Maine Infantry
Caldow (? G)  17, 1838

Just recently I got  the "only" exact match from a record found in  LDS - as follows:  "Birth about 1790, Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland" with the message:  "Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church.  No additional information is available.  Ancestral File may list the same family and the submitter."

Now, I've hit a roadblock again and can't seem to get any further.    Would appreciate any help you can give me regarding parents names, marriage date, occupation.  Perhaps there is a connection to England for the parents, but unsure.

Thanks so much for your time.
