do you know where I would go next to track the Maxwell family back further - I now know that Alexander Maxwell & Jane Ewert were married and had 3 children that I know of, Alexander (my g.grandfather), Joseph who married Mary Andrews, and Mary Jane who married Daniel Gregg.

What is the best option for me now to find details on the following - Alexander Maxwell dob (approx) 1783, dod April 10th 1881; Jane Ewert dob (approx) 1798, dod 1878.  Would there be marriage cert to be found? and if so, how would I go about it?

Thanks so much for the vital information you have already given me.

oops. when I say "he" is the nephew of my g.grandmother, I mean, James Hunter is.  I am assuming that Hugh is a cousin or relative. My g. grandfather is Alexander Maxwell who married Eliza Waide nee White at 1st Presbyterian church, portglenone in 1878. His father was Alexander Maxwell (and I think John was his middle name as that was named on the death cert of Alexander, who died in NZ.

I have a photo of a Hugh Maxwell at the marriage of Maude Hems Waite & James Hunter in 1915. It does not say where it is in Antrim, but assuming it is Glenarm area as he is the nephew of my g.grandmother, Lizzie White (m. Waide (1), m. Maxwell (2). who was born at Little Deer Park, Glenarm.  ::)

Just read the top message - that Alexander's father was "Alexander"!!!! On his Death Cert, his father's name was shown as John Maxwell married to jane Ewert.  I wonder if his name was Alexander John?? I have a picture of a gravestone in 1st Ahoghill Presbyterian church, Joseph & Mary Maxwell, lying with their parents Alexander & Jane, and children, Elizabeth & Alexander. I thought it was our lot (I have letters here from Alexander and Betty, written to my grandfather & his brothers) but because of the name on the death cert I was unsure.  Now it seems that there is the connection and Joseph Maxwell must be my g.grandfather's brother. Thanks so much for that information.  I can now go on down that track!!  :)

thanks so much for that information. It cracked another mystery in that I found the dod for Daniel Waide as 1884, so I can now change it correct date to 1874.  I had the other information about the children who all came to NZ.  Will still keep searching as to his birth parents as trying to track family back to Scottish roots  :D

I am hunting for the parentage of Alexander Maxwell, b. approx 1824 (according to 1901 census) but not sure where, married Eliza Waide (nee White) 24th January 1878 in the Portglenone first Presbyterian Church, moved into Eliza's home at Drumrankin and had 5 children to Eliza. He emigrated to NZ and died in 1919.  Trying to track his family. His death cert named parents as John Maxwell & Jane Ewert (not sure of spelling). Photo attached is of Alexander and his sons & daughter in NZ.
