Wexford / Re: 1840s DUBLIN Ireland MORRISON'S
« on: Saturday 19 December 15 19:28 GMT (UK)  »
Its looks like Holton DAVIN married Marie Elizabeth TESSIER nee MORRISON although I cannot find a marriage record.
Marie Elizabeth DAVIN died in December 1/4 1884, age 44 (Ref: Dublin North 2 402).
In the 1901 Census, Holton DAVIN (49, Distiller, Widower), was living at house 21 in Smithfield (Arran Quay, Dublin), with Step Daughters, Jane DAVIN (39) and Adelaide TESSIER (35), Niece, Rebecca MORRISON (30), and Servants, Martha DALY (76, Cook Domestic) and Mary CONRAN (Housemaid Domestic).
Adelaide TESSIER was Marie's daughter with her first husband, William Henry Cecil TESSIER so although I cannot find a marriage of Marie to Holton, the fact that Marie's daughter, Adelaide appears in the 1901 census as a step daughter to Holton is I believe sufficient proof of his marriaage to Marie.

Ireland / Re: William John Gilbert: his siblings and his children
« on: Sunday 23 August 15 20:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi, You have:

John GILBERT m. Sarah DOUGLAS
- Anne b. c1830/1835?

Now I am related by marriage to John Earls RUTHERFORD who married Sarah Francis GILBERT, hence my interest.

From the 1910 & 1920 USA census records for John & Sarah, who were living in Kings, Brooklyn, New York, an Annie PAUL, Sister in Law & Widow, born Ireland, was also living with them.  In the 1910 she was 79 & in the 1920, 87. I assume this is the Annie GILBERT son of John above.  In the 1900 USA Census, Annie (65) was shown living in New York with Husband, William PAUL age 72, born Ireland.

Regards, Peter

Gail, From Warrenpoint marriages there is the following:

Miss Margaret SHEALS, sister of Capt. Sheals of Warrenpoint; married Mr.Joseph Beggs of Aughnacloy 22 Sep 1828 at Warrenpoint Presbyterian Church.

Its possible that Joseph is a brother or another relation of John BEGGS?

No other information yet as to what happens to them subsequently.

Regards, Peter

Gail, I am also researching John Beggs and wondered if you have found anything more about him? My wife is descended from daughter Margaret who married the Rev. Thomas HICKEY. I have so far found the following on John:

A John BEGGS was recorded in  the "Census of the County Tyrone, Diocese of Armagh, Parishes of Aghalow and Carnteel 1766" This could be John or his father?

In a report of 1816/17 "The Minutes of the Trustees of the Linen and Hemp Manufacturers of Ireland containing the Reports of their Secretary on A Tour of Inspection through the Province of Ulster In October, November, and December, 1816" was the following:

"The following are the names and residences of the principal Buyers of this County, who attend this Market themselves, or send their Commisioners to purchase for them:

John Beggs, Aughnacloy, Tyrone"

In the "Aughnacloy Pigot's Directory 1824" was the following entry for John BEGGS:

"Beggs John grocer & leather seller"

Details of John's Death was in the personal notices inserted in the LONDONDERRY SENTINEL and LONDONDERRY STANDARD:

December 31 1831 -  From paralytic, on Christmas Day, MR. JOHN BEGGS, of Aughnacloy, Merchant

Also in the The Ballyshannon Herald and Donegal Advertiser. January 6, 1832 - Ballyshannon, County Donegal: "From paralytic, on Christmas-day, Mr. John Beggs, of Aughnacloy, Merchant--a gentleman deplored by his family, and most deservedly regretted by all who were favoured with his acquaintance."

There is a Will Transcript for John BEGGS in 1832, Armagh Diocese (Ref: IWR/1832/F/106, Vol: 4/236/20) in the Index of Irish Wills 1484-1858.

I am going to see if I can get a copy of this.
