For those of you who may have been following this topic - I have some surprising news from a lady called Doreen Stone, Worcester, England.  She writes:

My grandparents were Alexander and Elizabeth Thompson, buried in Christ Church Limavady.  They had a daughter Jane who never married, a daughter Margaret who married Henry Tate of Limavady, and a son John Ranki Thompson who settled and married in Belfast.  My father is no buried in Christ Church Limavady with his parents.

Out of the blue and such a lovely surprise since I had found no mention of the children Margaret or John.

BettyHELLO there! I am interested in knowing more on the Henry TATE who married to that Thompson woman! thank you!

hi. i saw a tate in woodtown in the 1831 census.  do you know how the Tate/ Tait line related to any of the Kane line???very interested...  in 1849 my James Tate and wife Ann and kids immigrated to America, dying in Connecticut. they had a Kane gal in  their home in 1850.

would it be possible to repost the linke to 1766 religious census Balleymoney?

WELL, a surprise was that i was able to help a person learn the 'most likely father' of his 'bastard ancestor', born in late 1700s to an unwed gal who had a couple of quote'bastard children' and possible her sister did too. it began by this other person whose yDNA matched our Stanton line so well but his oldest ancestor was a Schoonover. and seemed to know that his ancestor man was not a schoonover. well, this person i helped told me the names surrounding the families who lived near each other and attended some Dutch reformed church , and then the same names of their sons were listed on a New Jersey list of men serving during the Revolutionary War times and there was a Stanton there. we figured out the county that young stanton was in and his father was of an age to fit coseying up to this young lady of last name Schoonover. and that Stanton was mostly tracable to the old New London Ct Stanton line that i was in. he was satisfied and i was pleased .; but it took 2 years of fussing around . interesting! so often you cant get anywhere in those circumstances.

someon mentioned a company 'Tate and Lyle'. do you know any more on who the Mr. Tate was? i am researching Tates, of the Coleraine town area. And articlave. thx.
