OK, we are researching a different James in a different century, but of the same family.

Who was James Dickson's father, as you have stated it was not Benjamin?  I am convinced I have the right family.  Starting with a David Dickson 1681-1742 probably born in Scotland but came to Ireland had a son James 1725-1793 and he was the father of Benjamin 1765-1840.

Benjamin married Margaret Anderson and had Margaret, James, William, Samuel and David.  James was the father of Rt. Hon T

The James Dickson son of Benjamin that I referred to was born 1792 and died 1852 according to the Dickson charts that were sent to me some years ago.

I seem to be searching about 100 years earlier than the ones you have told me about, but do admit family stories certainly lose nothing in the telling.  Our family of Dickson was certainly involved in the linen industry though.  I will try to find more about that.

You have been very helpful, thank you.

Hello Garstonite,

Not sure when Benjamin was born but around 1765, died in 1840.  He farmed at Lisgallon.  He had a son James Dickson who owned or ran the Dickson Linen Mills in Dungannon.  There was another son John Lived in Cullenfad townland and a daughter Margaret born around 1793 who married Robert Lucas from Cullenramer townland and these two are my ancestors. 

I have seen Francis and Jane in several records, maybe he was another son of  of Benjamin, seeing as he named a child Benjamin.  Do you think we are the same family?  Must be really I think. Where do you live?  I am in Australia.

I live in Sydney, Australia.  Is your surname Harper?  Well so is mine!  But that's my married name of course.

I am researching my McBeans from Daviot.  I am descended from Donald McBean who married Elizabeth Forbes.  Can't find this marriage, but the information is on Elizabeth's death certificate. She was the daughter of James Forbes and Janet Smith.   Donald  was the son of Donald and Ann McBean and was born around 1780 in Daviot.  He died some time between the 1841 and 1851 census.  Their son John born around 1819 married Margaret Smith from Moy, and with their family emigrated to Australia in 1853.  Another son Donald also emigrated here in 1853 with their family.

Any other relatives out there?  I'd be interested to "meet" you.

Thank you Prue for this information and your very prompt reply.  I'm very new at this but can search English newspapers now I have the date of the inquest.
