I am a first time user of this site and must hope you get this message. My grandmother was namely, Esther Jane Titterington daughter of Alexander Titterington and Mary Anne McAleenan resident in Ballyknock, Parish of Moira on the date of marriage viz; 6 May, 1862 at Moira Parish Church by Rev W.H. Wynne by licence according to the rites and ceremonies of the Unied Church of England and Ireland. Alexander and Mary Anne came to Glasgow where my grandmother Esther Jane Titterington was born on 5 September, 1869 at Glasgow where she died on 4 July, 1942. Back in 1983, I contacted the Titterington's of Moira - there were only three listed in the phone book them. I wrote to all three who got together and nominated one of their number to reply namely, Mrs Kay Simpson nee Titterington. Kay did a wonderful job in visiting the Record Office and recording by hand every entry for the Titterington's which remains in my possession. I am willing to share this with you - so please direct any questions and I will endeavour to answer. Although Mrs Simpson nee Titterington and I could not establish a family relationship there were family likenesses in photographs - but in spirit we felt a stong sense of kinship. I will always be indebted to her for all her valuable work on my behalf and remember with considerable fondness our meeting in Moira about 12 years ago. Interestingly enough an entry in my Family History Record jumped off the page a few minutes ago. It read: Jane Titterington married Alexander Harvey on 15th June, 1866 at Moira. I hasve often wondered given the name Jane as a middle ename to my grandmother if the said Jane who married

Bob - I am very interested in the fact that you say that you have a copy of the entries from the record office. I would be extremely interested to see this information, if you are willing to share it with me. I am descended from Edward Titterington and his wife, Margaret Trimble. His parents were John and Mary Wolfendon. The births of some of Edward's children were recorded in Moira Church along with those of the children of George and Margaret, Richard and margaret and John and Rebecka. Due to the close proximity of the townlands, and the fair uniqueness of the name of Titterington/Titterton it would seem likely that the above are all possibly related. I would be very interested to see if your records are able to take me any further in my quest.

I hasve often wondered given the name Jane as a middle name to my grandmother if the said Jane who married Alexander Harvey was a sister to my grandfather Alexander Titterington who married Mary Anne McAleenan whose father incidentally was Henry McAleenan (Labourer). I look forward with some eagerness to hearing from you. Yours etc. Bob Currie
