Just found Margaret Henthorns father Thomas I think. In The Flax Growers 1796 in Tynan, Armagh. So Margaret would have been about 4 then

That will be the family but Margaret was born in 1792 and died 1857. I noticed one of the children was called Thomas and Margaret's Dad was Thomas.

Armagh / George Fleming
« on: Tuesday 29 July 25 09:00 BST (UK) »
My 4 times gt grandfather was born circa 1779 Tyan/Tynan Armagh, That is from Census forms in Airdrie in Scotland where moved with his family. His wife was Margaret Henthorn born 1792 and died 13 jan 1857 in Airdrie in Lanarkshire. Her death certificate states father Thomas Henthorn mother unknown. George's father is listed as John Fleming Farmer deceased no mother mentioned. Henthorn is quite an unusual name. Is it local?

I hadn't seen that census before but its definately her. Six months later she was married to Thomas. Thomas was a horrid man. Drunk, wife beater. Margaret the second wife seemingly was a lovely women and the kids all liked her. She didn't put up with him for long and left him to return to Newry. My Granda was would have been around 5 going on 6 then and his brother 2 years older. She wanted to take the two youngsters back to Newry with her but Thomas wouldn't let her. I had found the David Sloan marriage a couple of years ago. Thanks

That census was from here . Also note that when my great gran Maggie died in 1910 one year later Thomas again married to a woman who i believe was a relative, He had 6 children in the house and had to work so I think this women who was of or married to his mother's Sloan family was sent to help. Living in one room and kitchen with 8 people i guess its inevitible they married within a year
