Hello Allister
Thanks for your reply with further information for my Kelso/Templeton family tree. I suppose the young William Templeton who died in 1836 at age 12 would have been the older brother of Eliza Jane and the others, as he must have been born around 1824. His father Joseph erected an elaborate headstone for him which was a fitting tribute to the eldest son.
My husband Terry is descended from Alexander and Eliza Jane's only son William Alexander (1854 -1940) and his wife Anna Atkinson (1855 - 1921) who were his grandparents. Then his father was Frederick James Kelso (1890 - 1942), the fourth son and sixth child of the above who married Evelyn Maud Potts (1899 - 1976).  I can give a lot more detail of these families if you are interested.
I've attached two photos of Eliza Jane Templeton.
Cheers, Alison

Greetings! We also have Templetons in my husband Terry's family tree as he is the great grandson of Alexander Kelso and Eliza Jane Templeton. We recently visited their grave in the Mallusk cemetery, and right alongside it was another headstone erected by Joseph Templeton in memory of his son William who died 23 June 1836 aged 12 years. I have a photo of both these headstones, and also two photos of Eliza Jane Templeton if you are interested. I would love to know more about this family too, especially the name of Joseph's wife as I got his name from the marriage certificate of Eliza Jane and Alexander, but the mothers were never worth mentioning apparently! Also I would like to know who Joseph's parent were, and any further information about the Kelso family of Hydepark and Mallusk. Cheers, Alison Kelso

Hi Eddie, My name is Alison Kelso and I live in New Zealand. I am trying to trace my husband's family further back than we have been able to do so at this point. The last ancestors we can trace are his great-grandparents Alexander Kelso (1806 - 1857) and his wife Eliza Jane Kelso, nee Templeton (1826 - 1884) who are buried in the Mallusk cemetery, Antrim. They came from Templepatrick. Are there any other descendants of these two who can go further back in either family?
