Ireland / Re: Dilworth family name
« on: Thursday 27 July 23 23:18 BST (UK)  »
Re Belfast Dilworth connection have a look at my posts re Belfast Dilworth connection. I haven't had contact for years with Wilfred Dilworth of Dungannon NI who has done extensive research and has a vast knowledge of that family history. If you can reach him he could help you. The Ulster American Folk Park includes the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies near Oomagh was helpful when I visited a number of years ago. They knew Wilfred Dilworth and might be able to provide contact information for him. Online I see PRONI is noted as the main archive for NI so maybe that could be a resource for you. Good luck!

I don't know what kind of driver in NI. On Liverpool information for him his occupation was carter which I think means helping move things e.g. from ports etc so likely that type of work. Re how he became a priest: he had been very active in the Church of Ireland and when he emigrated to Canada he left the 2 daughters with relatives in Belfast for a few years before they joined him. He trained in ministry in Montreal likely with the support of the Anglican community there. I don't know details about the training he received.

Yes and within that you'll find the Mellon Center for Migration Studies https://mellonmigrationcentre.com/. The focus seems to be on North American Migration although lots of NI links. As mentioned in another post in 2010 I got most of the information I needed from the Belfast forum genealogy section. In fact if you put Ulster genealogy in Google all kinds of forum links come up. This one looks like a good overall resource for NI https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Northern_Ireland_Genealogy
My personal focus these days is on Canadian family roots.

Thanks. I'll try that source. When I was there in 2010 there was a library at the Ulster Folk Park focused on genealogical searches and I may try again through them. They knew Wilfred Dilworth although didn’t have any of his publications and may now or know where I could get them. I think that one might be available digitally.

As on my other reply a good source for Northern Ireland genealogical information is the Belfast forum. In 2010 it linked me up with Wilfred Dilworth in Killyman. I've never been able to track down some of his Killyman history publications and I'm no longer in touch with him.

Thank you for this information. William Dilworth emigrated to Quebec Canada after Sarah's death and their two young children, my grandmother being one, joined him after he was established as an Anglican priest here. He then married Mathilda Higginson and had 3 more daughters if anyone is following his thread here and looking for more information.  In 2010 when I was looking for Killyman information I received it from the Belfast genealogy forum which is helpful for any genealogical information in Northern Ireland.  Another good source I found when there was the library at Ulster Folk Park with its genealogical focus.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and noticed Killyman mentioned. In 2010 I met with Wilfred Dilworth there who has done extensive research in the area and published writings about tge history of Killyman. The email I had for him no longer works and he might be traced through St. Andrew's Church in Killyman.

I'm late to this post and the mention of Killyman caught my attention re my own dilworth roots. I'll share what I came up with when I visited the burial ground there in 2010. Wilfred Dilworth of Killyman has done extensive genealogical research and met me at the bus in Dungannon to search for my great-grandmother's grave there. She was Sarah Nevill Dilworth who died a a young age in Belfast . Her husband, William Crawford Dilworth was born in Glasgow in 1858. Information from the 1861 Glasgow census. My grandmother was born in Liverpool to Sarah and William and subsequently sailed from Belfast to Canada to join her widowed father. There seems to be a Scotland, Liverpool, Belfast link. If anyone can supply contact information for Wilfred Dilworth in Killyman he's a wealth of information about Dilworths and Killyman area too. I no l9nger have his email address.
