Hi Stanley, thanks for your reply.
Yes john george did marry mary anne ferguson on july 11th 1917 at Tullylish coi. Witnesses  were Abraham Doak and Jennie Balmer. When i saw Araham mentioned i was curious what the connection was.

John George and Mary Anne had 2 dau's and 3 sons,Rebecca Jane (Jinnie) b 1918 died aged 30, Thomas George b 1921 now deceased, Mariah b 1923 died aged 6 with scarlett fever, my father in law Joseph (Joe) b 1924 and died 2010, David Douglas b 1927 who is also deceased. Joseph and his 2 sisters are buried at Newmills Pres church.
We still attend the church along with my brother in law, wife and his family.

Not sure what information you have but I looked up marriage certificate for Abraham recently, he married on 10th July 1919 at Gilford Pres, witnesses were Joseph Mc Cutcheon and Lizzie Balmer. Abraham's in laws were Henry and Charlotte and attended Gilford Pres. They emmigrated in 1921 to N.Y along with their son's and dau's.

Gilford records show son Stanley born 23rd dec 1920, bpd 21st jan 1921 and familysearch mentions Henry born N.Y. Newmills pres records record that Abraham was born 2nd June 1894 and Joseph Mc Cutcheon born 12th May 1900. I have births, baptisms and marriages at Newmills of Doak's. Thomas Mc Cutcheon and Martha Doak married there on 3rd May 1900, witnesses were Joseph Doak and Minnie Doak.


William John Doak who married Sarah Jane Doak says he was living in Belfast in marriage record, father's names are not mentioned. witnesses at wedding were Samuel Doak and Ellen Jane Chambers.

I have records of other Doak marriages, births and baptisms and a few deaths which i have taken from Newmills Pres records. I have also information taken from all Doak head stones at Newmills. William John and Sarah Jane Doak are buried there and headstone also mentions a William E Doak and Samuel George Doak.

Hi, just read that you are researching information about your g- grandmother Martha Mc cutcheon. I find this very interesting as i too am researching into family history. I noticed that my husband,s grandfather John, George Doak a bootmaker lived at ballydugan during the 1901 census and at castle hill st when 1911 census form was taken, i think that the Joseph Doak who stayed with your Mc Cutheons is possibly my husbands g grandfather. I read earlier that Martha was a Doak and that Joseph is her father. I remember my father- in -law say one time something about a Mc Cutcheon family, unfortunately he is no longer living and all his brothers and sisters are passed on too. Do you know any of martha's brothers or sisters if any and who Rebecca Doak was married to, i think she was a widow in 1901 census at thompsons row.My husband and  i  as well as our children belong to Newmills Pres Church, his brother and his wife and family attend there also. Our surname is now Doak with an e on the end of it. If i can help you in anyway dont be afraid to ask, i have recently jotted down lists of names of Doak births, baptisms and marriages taken from the church register as well as taking down names of Doaks from gravestones in Newmills.
