Hi Lorna,

I have quite a bit of information on the branch of Brysons you’re related to. Rev. Alex Bryson’s brother Charles married Margaret Bryson, youngest daughter of James Bryson in 1835. She was 15. James Bryson was my 4th ggf’s John W. Bryson’s brother. There is a marriage announcement in the Belfast Newsletter. They were married by Alex Bryson. Charles, Margaret and family are buried at Kilbride Cemetery. I also received a Bryson packet from a researcher from PRONI. It’s an ancestry from someone from that branch who resided in Canada. I’m happy to share the pages with you.

Best wishes,

Deb Bryson Martin

Hey Deb,
Wow 15 even then feels young!

Any new info would be great. I found a letter when visiting proni from a relative in Saskatchewan, it says about four Bryson brothers coming over from Scotland to Ballybracken in the reign of James 1 is that the info your taking about?

Reading your and Gilbys recent posts I’m ngl it’s all a little confusing for me 😂  I suppose if those 4 brothers all had family’s a few generations later the whole area around is going fill up with Brysons. I did my dads ydna a few years ago but everyone connected we must have had a shared gf in Scotland so hasn’t cleared up the line or where in Scotland my Bryson line originated. Their family lines interestingly also came over to ulster before most of them moved to North America.

Thanks, Lorna

Hi.  Sorry I’m just noticing these messages.  Lorna, the following is the note I had on my tree for Robert Bryson:

Robert Bryson, surgeon of Poyntzpass.  Was probably related to the Rev. Alexander Bryson of Fourtowns near Poyntzpass.  They both clearly had links to the Donegore area.  I think that's probably where they originated.

Your message basically confirms all of that.  More details below.

Belfast Newsletter, 22nd Sep 1818:
In Poyntzpass, on the 17th ult. by the Rev. Mr. Bryson, Surgeon Bryson, of Poyntzpass, to Susannah, eldest daughter of Mr. George Bennet of said place.

Belfast Newsletter, 17th Feb 1824:
On the 27th ult. at Donegore, by the Rev. Mr. Wallace, Mr. Robert Bryson, surgeon, of Pointzpass, to Eleanor, eldest daughter of the late Mr. James Gawn, of Donegore.

Hi Gilby, this is brilliant I hadn’t come across these announcements. The Rev Alex Bryson marries Mary Jane Bennet the next year. I knew George Bennet had a third daughter I just couldn’t find her name anywhere.

Alex and Robert were both from Ballybracken their father John Bryson had at least 4 named sons and a unnamed daughter

Thanks for that info, Lorna

I have that couple on my tree because I’m interested in a few families in the area, including the Brysons.  Please tell us more about what you know already about this family.  What is the connection between James Bryson (b. 1825) and James Bryson, father of Margaret?

I have a James Bryson born c1826 who married Agnes Bryson, and a James Bryson born c1827 who was son of Robert Bryson (surgeon) and Eleanor Gawn.

Gilby

Hey Rev Alex Bryson is my 3rd ggrandfather. So I have lots of Ballaghs, Mckmeekins and Brysons in my family

In letters I have found in PRONI I know he has three brothers Charles, John and Robert and an unfortunately unnamed sister all brought up in Ballybracken.
In the letter it says Robert was a medical doctor and on his way to or from Scotland collecting his degree he drowned leaving a wife and two young boys all unnamed in this letter. I’ve really wanted to find out who they are and your Robert seems like it would fit. Would you be able to share where you get the info?

Thanks so much, Lorna
