Hi ,
        I have just sent some more photos to Dana. These are the only "Hanson Album" photos from Philadelphia
 unfortunately there are no names on the photos.
 Although Martha Hanson was just a first cousin of my Gt GT grandmother ,Anne Hanson,it is possible that they corresponded .
William Hanson, Martha's father  died in 1856 and his wife Jane Rankin 17 feb in 1850 They have  a large tombstone in St Marys  Church of Ireland graveyard in Macosquin .
 Although there were presbyterians all the older generations of Hansons are buried there.
Regards Richard

Hello,
            I am a descendant of George Hanson Of Macleary, Macosquin, Co Derry, Martha Hanson's grandfather I have been trying to find out for years now  where Martha Hanson & John McCandless ended up !
I have one photo from Philidelphia in my Hanson Album. I wonder if this could be a connection with your family ? 
I have done extensive research on the the Hanson family in Ireland (where I was born) .
I would be delighted to share information with you and I am intrigued  after all of these years  to find out more about Martha HansoRegards  Richard

Hello  This is Richard Kerr here, thanks for the corrections.
 Yes I did know about the house being knocked down in fact when I was there last I couldn't believe it. How can the local council give permission for such destruction ! However they have left the old stables at least and most of the trees.
I also have a record for John Ellis son of Mary Hanson and Daniel Ellis.

Dear Overmann   
                        She was very pretty , thank you for the photo

You probably  have this info already from the Coleraine Chronicle

 28 aug 1852 on the 24th inst suddenly Mr Daniel Ellis of Gortaclanny Cottage, Kilrea ,aged 32 years ,deeply regretted by a large number of friends

15 Jun 1861
At her residence  Gortaclanny , near Kilrea on the 6th inst Mary relict of the late Daniel Ellis aged 36 years

23rd May 1863
At the residence of his uncle  George Hanson Esq of Ballylintagh on the 14th inst, James, son of the late Mr Daniel Ellis, Gortaclanny

20 feb 1864
at the residence of her uncle George Hanson Esq of Ballylintagh on the 11th inst Jane Rankin eldest daughter of the late Mr Daniel Ellis aged 16 years.
Please let me know if you have this info as I have other death notices for the Ellis family 
I enclose  a picture of the house of George Hanson, remodelled from his father William's house.  He lived here with his wife Isabella Steen .George unfortunately died in 1867 and the house was sold.This is where the unfortunate James and Jane Rankin Ellis died.
George  and Isabella had one surviving daughter whose was also called Jane Rankin.she married but had no children
  Coincidentally the house is now lived in by the Kennedy family who are descendants of Isabella Steen's  second Husband.
I realise I may be giving you information the you already have

It is a pleasure however to share this information with someone
Regards Richard

Great news to hear from you  I have been researching the 'Hanson family" for many years now and every now and then I have good news like this.

 Mary Hanson (daughter of William Hanson and Jane Rankin of Ballylintagh ,Aghadowey Co Derry ,my 4th gt  uncle ) married Daniel Ellis from Crossmancanly .I believe the date was 1845. They both died young as did two of their children. I lost track of Margaret some time ago. Was there a brother James who survived ?
 Margaret is mentioned in  the will of her "aunt Peggy" (for whom she was named) who died in 1863
I send a photo of the Hanson Farm in Macosquin where Margaret's father was born
Look forward to hearing from you
