Antrim / Re: HERBISON and MULLEN

Hi Steve

We are coming across to Ireland this summer but only for a short visit so I don't think there will be time to be rooting around in dusty records - I think a dedicated trip is called for, once I've organised exactly what I need to look for. We visited last year for the first time and had a wonderful trip.

Thanks.

Helen

Thanks, I've done that and found Thomas. It's kind of tantalising, isn't it? Is this the kind of query that will require a personal visit to Antrim to look at the parish records?

Hi Christopher

Thanks. That may be the family but it seems unlikely as it is rather late for James' birth - though he could have lied about his age. Also, his marriage certificate lists Thomas Herbison as his father. James' first son was named Thomas so it does seem likely that his father was Thomas.

James worked as a coal miner when he came to Scotland, if that helps at all!

Regards,

Helen

Dear Christopher

Thanks for your reply. I'm fairly sure James was presbyterian.

Regards,

Helen

Hi

I am looking for information about the family in Ireland of my great-great-grandfather, James HERBISON.

James married in Scotland in 1866. His marriage certificate and the 1881 census for Scotland indicate that he was born about 1844 in Ireland. His parents names are given as Thomas Herbison and Margaret Mullen (his mother's surname is not very clear but I think it is Mullen).

I understand that most Herbisons came from Antrim so I thought I would try this list for help.

Thanks.

Helen
