Donegal / Re: Matilda Stevenson born about 1881 - is father James or Isaac
« on: Yesterday at 14:58 »
Just to add a small detail... in Matilda's burial record her parents are listed as Robert and Sarah STEPHENSON, which could mean that her daughter Nellie had no idea who her biological grandparents were, or perhaps Matilda was indeed a Stephenson after all. On Nellie's birth record there is a 'her x mark' but in the census records she can read and write  ???

IF there is a DNA link between her and Joseph Henderson Stevenson, perhaps he was her biological father before his marriage in 1884, or perhaps she is the illegitimate daughter of his brother James, who had two children with his wife Annie Dick, one in 1879 and the other in 1881, born in Churchminster and registered in Castlefin, Strabane. If she was illegitimate, her mother may have moved to Burt, if this information is correct. ???

Anyway, they were all farmers... Have you followed up the James Stevenson, policeman, mentioned in the newspaper?

One of the witnesses in Matilda's marriage record is Eliza McGrory.

A Matilda McGrory was born in Derry Workhouse on 27 December 1880, mother Catherine McGrory.

A Catherine McGrory (nee Gallagher), married John McGrory, and had a son William James McGrory born on 9 September 1879 at Bridge End, Burt, Donegal.

They apparently had a daughter called Sarah, present at their death, Catherine died on 7 Feb 1895 at Castlequarter, and John on 16 November 1897 at Carnaghan, but I can't find her birth record.

Maybe just a coincidence... Kate Stevenson was the daughter of Henry Stevenson and Sarah Mary nee Philson. Henry was one of Joseph Henderson Stevenson's brothers.

I'm getting this message every time I access the website. I have manage to login through a VPN but I still get the message when clicking on the FORUM and other tabs. Is this a Cloudflare bug? Is it because I'm in Brazil?
