Hi

I have been working for some time on the Pentlands, especially the family in Lurgan c 1850 (my twig of the family) and the Pentlands of Gilford (I suspect a main branch of the root from Scotland)  and I know there are connections between the two.

The Uprichards were also from Townlands near Gilford - mostly in the Parish of Tullylish.

The Uprichard/Pentland connection that I know of is:

Thomas PENTLAND (1830 - 21 Aug 1891)
  b. 1830, Ballyworkan (Portadown) Armagh
  d. 21 Aug 1891, Ballyworkan (Portadown) Armagh
|   Jeremiah PENTLAND (1863 - )
|     b. 1863, Ballyworkan (Portadown) Northern Ireland
|   & Mrs  PENTLAND
|   |   Robert Henry PENTLAND (1902 - )
|   |     b. 1902, Ballyworkan (Portadown) Northern Ireland
|   |     d. Calgary Canada
|   |   & Lillian UPRICHARD
|   |     b. Ballyworkan, Portadown, Armagh
|   |     d. Calgary, Canada
|   |   |   son
|   |   James PENTLAND (1893 - )
|   |     b. 1893, Ballyworkan Portadown Armagh
|   |     d. Canada
|   |   Hugh PENTLAND (abt 1900 - )
|   |     b. abt 1900, Ballyworkan (Portadown)

I'd be delighted in anyone can offer me any refinements or additions to these folk?

Jeremiah's wife was Dinah.
James Pentland (born 1893) was my grandfather. He came back from Canada and married Evelyn Burby. They lived in Portadown. Set up petrol stations, then had a hardware store on Bridge Street. Had two daughters and a son.

Good morning,

Jeremiah Pentland (b. 1863) and Dinah Morrow (b. 1864) were the parents of James Pentland (b. 1893) as per Colin V's tree below. However the comment "d. Canada" isn't quite right. He did originally go to Canada with his brother and enlisted in the Canadian army, but he came back to Portadown to get married and stayed there. He had three children: Muriel, Gordon and Evelyn. He died in Portadown in 1960 or 1961.

My great-grandfather was Jeremiah Pentland from Ballyworkan. My grandfather was his son James Pentland. When I was young I always heard the story that James went to Canada - Vancouver Island I think - with some of his brothers and enlisted in the Canadian army in 1917. He was in Europe fighting, in France, took leave and came back to Portadown where he met my grandmother. She agreed to marry him but didn't want to go to Canada so he came back to Northern Ireland. I recently found his enlistment papers on the internet because the Canadian army has scanned all the old papers and made them available. He's on http://data2.archives.ca/cef/gpc013/573464a.gif.

When I was young we used to have Canadian cousins come to visit us the odd time in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, so you must be one of those or related to one of those.
