Family History Beginners Board / Re: Devlin family connections.
« on: Today at 11:32 »
What you are really looking for is finding someone who either remembers the event or was told something about it. Have you found any relatives of Nora Savage to see if they know anything? if she married again perhaps children might have heard something.

Remember not to post details of people who might still be alive.
The marriage appears in PRONI's online index-
M/1937/B1/2326/44/194   John   Devlin   Savage   15th January 1937   Belfast
M/1937/B1/2326/44/194   Nora   Savage   Devlin   15th January 1937   Belfast
Births less than 100 years old will not be indexed online.

May not be the same person but a Mrs. Nora Devlin of [144?] Donegall Pass was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment for receiving and overcoat and pair of gloves in April 1944.

Quote from: Gerry Burroughs on Yesterday at 19:23
Hi Martin thank you for your reply. Problem I have is identifying a Devlin member who had family in the Spinner street area of the Falls Road. My granny Jane Devlin worked in her fathers Shoe Shop beside the Clonard picture house along with other members of the family. I am particulary interested in finding information on John Devlin who was my granny's younger brother who used to visit my mum and her sister in Broadway. John and his wife had a child adopted in 1939 and then they apparently parted company. I knew nothing about this until recently when I was contacted by a family member to know if I knew John Devlin which I conformed. I am trying to find some one in these families I listed who knew why John done this to the child.

Regarding this part of your query- do you have the marriage of John Devlin and his wife? did they have children before this one adopted? all sorts of reasons that could have happened but were the adopted parents related or known to the family?

This looks like Jane Devlin's marriage but you likely already had that-

To start with this thread should be on the ANTRIM board with other Belfast queries but not sure if 'report to moderator' function is working at the moment.

Gerry- could you provide dates for the people buried in the plot you mentions (and where it is)?

Here's Terence Devlin and family in 1911-

He and son Patrick born Co. Tyrone but daughter Mary born Co.Antrim. Terence and wife Mary only married 6 years.
Son John's birth registration gives mother as Minnie (a nickname for Mary) Kirk.

Marriage of his parents in 1905 gives Terence's father as Patrick Devlin (dead).

Donegal / Re: Matilda Stevenson born about 1881 - is father James or Isaac

In Ireland Stevenson. Stephenson, Stevens and Stephens can all be used for the same family. Until fairly recently spelling variations in names for both people and places were very common.

The Reformed Presbyterian Church in Garvagh was at the present 5 Kilrea Road which is now the Garvagh Veterinary Clinic.
Many mentions in various newspaper reports including in Nov.1924 the re-opening of the church after renovations.

There was, for a time, a Reformed Presbyterian Church in Garvagh. Can't remember the dates off hand. Have never come across any records (baptisms and marriages) for it. Possibly some of the families that did go there transferred to Ballylaggan R.P, Church.
