Ho dathai, That's interesting and odd, that John Kelly shouldn't get a mention. Thanks for the info.

Thanks CP, I understand that John Kelly's father was the caretaker at the Church of Ireland (possibly supporting your Xgf). I'll follow up on your suggestions when I get a moment. Good Luck with your own research. Angela

Kerhal and Bobby, My grandmother was a Bohill and I am connected to you both through Isabella Bohill Quinn. Isabella's mother was Cecelia McGreevy, b.c. 1824, died 5 March 1897 at 69 Grove Street East, Belfast (which is where you located Isabella in 1901). I can provide the evidence. Most of James and Isabella Quinn's children were born in Comber (registration district Newtownards) and there is a link to Killinchy St, Comber (the main route heading towards Downpatrick which was where, in fact, the small family of Bohill was concentrated. Isabella and James Quinn moved to Grove St East in the Mountpottinger area of East Belfast between 1882 and 1887 (the youngest two children were born there). James Quinn was deceased by the time of the 1901 census but he is recorded as the tenant of 69 Grove St East in the 1901 Street Directory suggesting that he wasn't long deceased. Any Bohills you locate in County Cavan, Meath/Louth, Dublin or Waterford (from c. 1890s onward) were all members of the same family. I suspect that they were originally "planters" from North England/Scottish Borders. Please send me a personal message if you would like to see the evidence for Cecilia McGreevy. Angela

Thank you - how do you manage to answer almost before I post - or is that a secret? Angela

Thanks Aghadowey, I have the references you mention and I have muddled through the many Johns born to Johns as well. I was sort of hoping I might stumble into a distant relative who would just know the answer - wishful thinking I know! I will ask for the post to be moved - I would have placed it in Antrim myself but I cannot find a "post" icon anywhere except in the "newcomers" locations - I have read the help topics - any clues on that wee problem? Thanks again. Angela

Antrim / Donaldson Antrim
« on: Tuesday 06 August 13 20:01 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me to find the ancestors and some descendants of my 2xG grandfather John Donaldson b. 1843, lived in Belfast. This is what I know:
- 2nd marriage - 6 June 1881 John, a widower, publican, 15 Smithfield Belfast, (father also John, a coachman) married Lizzie Dias (marriage cert).
- John and Lizzie had two children: James Davitt my 1xG gf, b. 1883 Belfast and Robert, b. 1885 Belfast (Birth transcripts and census records).
- John died Belfast 30 March 1886. His will contains the following clause "I also hereby allow my wife Lizzie to take charge of my son William until he is able to take charge of himself"
Lizzie continued to run the pub (the Chlorane Bar, 23 Gresham St, Smithfield, Belfast), she later married Hugh Crothers, to whom she had several daughters. In the 1970s the Chlorane bar was the scene of a multiple murder and subsequent bombing. It was never rebuilt.
I have been unable to trace:
- John's 1st wife or his son William (or any other possible children) to this marriage,
- His father (beyond the reference in the marriage certificate)
- His mother or any siblings,
- His son Robert (to Lizzie Dias) beyond the 1911 census when he was in Carlisle Cumberland with his uncle (Robert Dias).
If anyone has any knowledge of this family which they would be willing to share I would be eternally grateful.

Hello Sarah, I realise that it is now about 6 years since you posted the message to which I am replying - I only stumbled upon this site yesterday - so I have no idea if you will ever see this response. I also have been told that I am related to Captain John Kelly. I believe this is through my Great Great Grandmother Mary (Mary Ellen?) Kelly c. 1834-1913 who married James Marlow c. 1834-1884. I have been unable to trace anything beyond that. If you see this perhaps you will let me know if you ever managed to bridge the gap and make the connection. Angela Johnston

How absolutely fascinating to read the string of posts regarding the Crosbies of Wexford and subsequently Dublin. I am the Great Granddaughter of Richard Crosbie and Catherine (Katie) Marlow. Richard was a brother of Peter (who married Margaret Bolger and lived in Roches Terrace). The cousin Peter who often stayed in Roches Terrace was my Great uncle. Both Roches Terrace and "The Faythe" are the streets that I remember most as a young child visiting from Belfast - and, of course, the fire station. Is anyone still interested in this string? I'm including (hopefully) a photograph for anyone who has a continuing interest and I would love to hear more from Crosbie cousins in Wexford or Dublin. Picture is: Back L-R Martin, Peter & Josie Crosbie (Sons of Richard and Catherine Marlow), Front: unknown neighbour and Catherine (Katie) Marlow). Angela Johnston
