To be honest, I did not discover that Joseph was born in Belfast. I gathered everyone had been born in Co. Dublin thus far in my research. That is news to me that he was born in Belfast. I will try to delve deeper into that now.
Thank you :)

Ireland / Re: McGilton Family

Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I will double check the dates I have found from previous research and of what I gathered from my husband's family. Thank you for that resource as far as church records, etc. go. As soon as I finish writing this reply, I will begin exploring that.
As for my question about the windmill. I understand they are not near each other and although we have traveled to Ireland, we have yet to explore Northern Ireland (it was on our to do list before the world became topsy turvy). I just wanted to connect dots and if there was any connection between my husband's family and the McGiltons who operated the wind mill, to be sure I included that in all my information. 
I did come across some information that leads me to believe they weren't based on their religion. My hubby's family is/was Catholic.

Hello everyone,
  I would love to gain some valuable insight as it seems you have all gotten much further in your research than I have. I just made a post on another forum but I am hoping to get information on the McGilton family which is my husband's family. We are celebrating out 16th wedding anniversary next week and my gift to him is all the research I have done on his family ancestry and the beautiful treasures I have discovered along the way.

Any help in connecting dots or further information would be WONDERFUL! Also answers to the following questions--is the McGilton family originally from Scotland? Were my hubby's family members the McGilton's who operated the Ballycopeland Windmill?

Here is the information I have found thus far:

My husband's grandfather was Kenneth McGilton (first to be born here in the United States).
His parents were:
Joseph T. McGilton b. May 1887 in Co. Dublin and Agnes McGilton (maiden name Kilduff) b. Co. Dublin
Joseph's parents were:
James McGilton b. 1865 in Co. Dublin and he married Ellen M. McGilton (maiden name Roche) on June 29, 1886 @ St. Mary's Pro Cathedral. She was b. 1867 (I found a note somewhere she was possibly born at 17 Anne Street in Dublin)
James' parents were:
Joseph McGilton b. 1840 Co. Dublin and he married Alice McGilton (maiden name Moore) b. 1846 in Co. Dublin

Can anyone help me further, based on the above information?

Ireland / McGilton Family

Hello everyone...
my husband and I are approaching our16th wedding anniversary in a few days and my gift to him is a compilation of family ancestry I have been researching and putting together for him. He is unaware that I am doing this and I hope to present it to him so we can pour over all the fun treasures I have discovered along the way.
I would love some help if anyone is able to provide more information.
I have been able to trace back to my husband's GGG Grandfather to Co. Dublin b1840. His name was Joseph McGilton and he married Alice McGilton (maiden name of Moore) b 1846 in Co. Dublin, Ireland. His GG and Great Grandfather's and mothers were also all born in Co. Dublin., as well.
I was wondering if there is any way to learn more about this lineage--are they originally from Scotland and if so, do you have any information in regards to this? Is there any connection with the Ballycopeland Windmill?
I am willing to share the information I have gathered thus far and would so greatly appreciate any information that would help my inquiry!
Blessings and many thanks in advance!
