Hi KG,

Ah, thanks! I'll have to add that part to my records. It's a while since I've worked on that side of the family.

Hello Rupie,
I've just come back to this forum after a years long abscence and see your search related to the Somervilles from Altmore.

I have some info on Samuel Somerville b. approx. 1868. He married Eliza Jane Hazelton b. 30 May 1874 [birth registered at Dungannon, but likely at Altmore]. She was a cousin to my grandfather, Charlie McIver from Gortnagola, Galbally, Donaghmore.

Ultimately, Samuel immigrated to Hartly, Iowa, USA and Eliza with parents and siblings immigrated to the same place. Their first child James was born in Harltey, and then the family moved to North Dakota. I have info on Eliza and her parents, and her children with Samuel. I don't relly have much past the 1940 US Census.

Please let me know if you are interested as it's too much to paste into here. We'll have to email, etc.
Cheers,
Sheila

I have tried, but not had any luck. It's been quite a long time since I searched so I can't remember what site I tried. Thanks for the link to the death certificate for Sarah Brown; I didn't have that.

Thanks, Hallmark. I wasn't aware of that site and will explore the Browns you found.

Thanks for posting this link, patchwitch. I'll explore all the photos and the text file. Good luck with your search for family.

Thanks again, Agahdowey. It will be some time before I can get anyone to check at the church or graveyard, but I'll make a note of this.

Regards,
Sheila

Aghadowey, those are good points. That would explain why I could only find mention of birth and marriage records for Carland Presbyterian. I do have a cousin that will be visiting Tyrone in June and I might be able to persuade him to check the graveyard there. I'll check on-line for an obit and hope the burial place is mentioned.

Thanks.

Yes, they were Presbyterian and my grandparents [one of them a Brown] did marry there. Carland being the "old cemetery" might be the one referenced. Thanks very much. Now, just to find burial records on-line!  ;)

Aghadowey,

Thanks for the response. I looked at those websites previously, but didn't find anything helpful. But I haven't contacted the people at the Donaghmore Living History website with my specific question - they may be able to help. That's a good suggestion.

Hallmark,

Thanks for that link. I hadn't seen it before. It does have Shaws, but I don't know the first names of those my people connect to or how this Sarah/Sally Smith Brown is related to them. I don't see her in the list anywhere, nor the Browns I'm looking for [ Charlie Brown's family and Bill Brown's family].

But I enjoyed looking at the photos anyway.  ;)
