Rev John Graves of Gravesend, Castledawson married Mrs Jane Hodgson (nee Hudson) on 19 Nov 1739 at St Swithin's, Magherafelt.  He was born c1711 Castledawson, son of Samuel Graves and Jane Moore, died 6 Jan 1776 at Gravesend and buried at Magherafelt.  Gravesend is now Castledawson golf club.  Rev John Graves would appear to have been the minister of the private chapel of the Dawson family on the grounds of Moyola Park near Castledawson in the parish of Magherafelt.  Not until 1874 was the new parish of Castledawson formed taking some townlands from Magherafelt and some from Ballyscullion (Bellaghy).

I did some 15 years ago go through the microfilm of Magherafelt but the copy was so poor that it was difficult to read.  Looks I may have to try again in more detail.  Rev John and Jane had 13 children, four of whom reached flag rank in the Royal Navy.  I was only able to indentify one in the baptisms, John 6 Aug 1743.

I have also searched through the Biographical Index for Church of Ireland Clergy and neither Rev John Graves nor Rev William Downing are mentioned with correct dates.

Dear Forum,

I am seeking further information on George PERRINS, married Sarah PERKS perhaps 08.10.1771. Sarah the daughter of Joseph (posible owner of Hare and Hounds Inn at Careless Green, Old Swinford 1740). I have not been able to locate any details on this Inn. Does it still exist as a different name?
George PERRINS founded a Chain and Nail Manufacturing Building in 1770 at Careles Green, and lived in Careless Green House, again I cannot locate this property or any details as to the location of the Factory. I would like to know more about his parents. His son Thomas inherited the business in 1852 when George died.
Any information related to these family lines much appreciated.

I am thinking that maybe William Rogerson was married before only because he was about 26/27 when he got married to Alicia Molyneux   married for about 4 years or so he got a fever and it killed him
 we were told that money went to a second wife
    I would think if  he did have a first wife and they had a child it would have been called William Rogerson too like his child with Alicia  Molyneux  that also got a fever a few years befor william and passed as a baby
 I have only got about 30 years  or there about missing
Just need the missing link


Here is some info about Alicia Molyneux, she had three sons by William

Thank you for the information.  I have located my missing James relation - his father was a son of The Rev. John Fetherstonhaugh - so that makes James Howard a 1st cousin to my ancestor.  Your comments don't surprise me.  I would be very interested if you could direct me to any other information on the family or indeed on the politics in that area (my ancestors were here by the late 1840's).

Thanks again
Ron
