Thomas had a sister, Martha, who married an Andrew Smith, merchant in Belfast. They had a daughter, Jane , whom married a Archibald White. Their daughter, Ann married Richard Brown Bamber of Belfast.

My Great Grandfather Was the Rev David Rankin Baird born 1866 to William Baird and Eliza Gourley (Tyrone) of Milkisle, Letterkenny and educated from  a young age by the Reverend John Kinnear. Do not know what the Rankin connection is. Maybe could have been his grandmother maiden name?

My 5th Grandmother was Anne White of Whitehall, Broughshane. She married a Richard Brown Bamber of Belmont House, Belfast (Born 1721 and died 1774). His mother Hannah Bamber was born in Dublin in 1686 and was baptised in Eustace Street Presbyterian where his Grandfather Richard Bamber worshipped.

Unsure which White was her father.  Anne and RB Bamber had three sons, Richard (1747) George (1760) and Henry (1750) plus more maybe. I have no other information than that on Anne

Interestingly, Richard Brown Bambers mother, Hannah maiden name was Bamber and children all took her surname into adulthood.
