Hello,  As far as my research has taken me, it's probable I descend from William Court of Kineton, calculated on a transcription of his Will dated 1605.   He bequeaths to the following; sons Leonard, William, Peter, John; son-in-laws Yorke?, Sponford? and William Pye? .  Peter was named Executor and it was witnessed by Leonard, William and a Thomas Court (?).   As this transcription was shared with me years ago, we can assume it has errors and/or omissions, in particular, the surnames of his son-in-laws.   Clarification would be most grateful and appreciated. 

Leonard Court is my lineage.  Several generations were blacksmiths. 

I shall patiently wait for the new release of records.   Hopefully, it will cover the earlier years.

 My reason for believing John Williamson and Hannah Magee are my great great grandparents (?) is based on a passenger list.   My great grandfather emigrated to Canada from Belfast in 1913, with the rest of the family following in 1914.   Recently I discovered Robert John on another passenger list, arriving in New York in the year 1918.  He was enroute to his Toronto residence.

This is a significant clue!!!  The name given as  "relative/friend of where came" on the passenger list is my basis for Tartaraghan research.   I did some look-ups on this man (relative and/or friend) who lived in Belfast.  It turns out his wife is Elizabeth Williamson, born circa 1857 in Co. Armagh.   Their marriage took place at St. Paul's Tartaraghan on 10 March 1877;  she states her residence as Cloncore and her father as John Williamson, labourer. 

I keep asking myself, why would Robert John travel back to Ireland (Belfast) during the trouble and dangerous times of the First World War? (Incidentally, the ship he sailed on was struck by German U-Boats two months later).   Was there an illness and/or death in the family or an estate to be settled?  None that I've found!   Elizabeth died in 1904. 

Coincidence?  Elizabeth named her first born daughter, Mary Hannah.  Robert John named his first born son, John George.    Both Elizabeth and R. J. left Co. Armagh.  By 1889 they were both living in Belfast.  Throughout the years the lived fairly close to one another.     

Additional research on my great grandfather has pointed me in the direction of Tartaraghan Parish.   I believe his parents resided primarily in Cloncore and a baptism record would prove or disprove this theory.   I'm looking for Robert John Williamson born between 1860 - 1862 (possibly 3 April 1861).    Any help would be most welcomed.  Thank you in advance.
