Hello Carole,
John, Edward and Miles are the Christian names.
From 1780 to about 1880.
Although if there were any earlier mentions of the CRASTONS it might help me tie in to earlier generations.

Thank you so much.
Michelle

Please has anyone got a list of these men
I have found an image of the board on-line, but by the time I blow it up big enough to read, the words blur horribly.
In particular I am looking for the CRASTONS (various spelling)
Thank you
Michelle

Down / The Ten Towns of Lecale
« on: Sunday 09 June 24 04:22 BST (UK)  »
I have been reading the work of Francis Chambers, he talks of the Ten Towns of Lecale being -

'Tobermoney, Upper Ballyhossett, Lower Ballyhossett, Lower Grange, Middle Grange, Upper Grange, Upper Ballyclander, Lower Ballyclander, Ballygallum, & Ballymote'.

Please can anyone help with which 'Grange' he is referring to? I am trying to make a map of the ten towns, but I am stuck with his referral to Grange as there are a number of places with it in the name.

I believe I descend from the MARTYNS that received 30 acres in the debenture of the Ten Towns that some loyal Presbyterians received in thanks from the Government.

Please, if I have the terminology wrong, could you correct me. I am struggling to understand what all this means.

Any help would be very welcome as I am trying to write a mini article on my MARTINS of Tobermoney.

Thank you Simon.
Do you have any idea who Richards parents were?
Do you know if Richard ran a pub?

Yes I did. Thank you for looking. I just wanted to be sure, according to Richard's marriage certificate his father was Richard CRA(Y)STON a victualler. I can find nothing looking likely to be them.

Can anyone who has access to above please have a look at the baptism for Richard CRAYSTON on 26 January 1926. Familysearch has his mother as Mary and his father as ?CRAYSTON.
I would like to know if it mentions if he was illegitimate or if the entry is incomplete.

Thank you so much.
Michelle
