Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: Victor Pritchard / Ethel
« on: Sunday 10 August 14 13:44 BST (UK)  »
I think you will find Robert Pritchard and his wife Emily (nee Magill) living with their daughter Maggie McMillan on the 1901 census in William Street, Newtownards. They both died in 1906 about 6 months apart. Also living with them was a Emily Pritchard, a daughter of Thomas Henry Pritchard and Margaret McCullough. Thomas Henry was most likely another son of Robert and Emily. On the 1901 census Thomas Henry was living only a few doors away on Lanark St, from James another son of Robert and Emily. James had a son Victor and also one called Joshua, most likely called after aunt Maggie's husband Joshua McMillan.
Unfortunately, it looks like Maggie and Thomas Henry were born before 1864, before official birth records, begun to be kept, so some of the above, is guesswork.

Antrim / Re: Fultons of Ballynacree
« on: Monday 04 October 10 16:12 BST (UK)  »
Margaret McCay
Baptism or Birth date = 16th November 1884.
Parish = Dungiven
Father = William McCay, Farmer
Mother = Martha Quigley
Informant = William McCay

Maybe Margaret was visiting/staying somewhere else, and Head of House didn't think they had to record her.

Thomas Robert Fulton and Margaret McCay, had another daughter, called Jane Scott Fulton. Looks like one daughter was called after the paternal grandmother and the other daughter after the maternal grandmother.

On the 1911 census , is Thomas Fulton  McCay , recorded with a Wray Family on Westland Avenue, Londonderry ?

William McCay and Martha Quigley, had 7 children (according to the 1911 census), including a daughter called Margaret in 1884. It looks possible  that the Margaret McCay who married Thomas Robert Fulton,  was William's and Martha's daughter and sister to LT Thomas Fulton McCay.

I've been doing a little research into a Fulton family from Derrylane, Drum. A James Fulton married to Jane Scott. James's father was called Thomas.
If you look up the previous discussed marriage of Joseph Fulton to Elizabeth Fulton, Joseph's father is also called Thomas.
Also the marriage of John Quigley to Margaret Fulton, Margaret's father is also called Thomas.
I also found the marriage of a James  McCully to a Martha Fulton of Drum, again Martha's father was called Thomas.
It's maybe just a coincidence, that the name of father of  these Fultons, from the same area, was the same , or maybe they were all  siblings, although the difference in marriage dates makes it a little unlikely.
Going back to the McCay connection, I think a son of  James called Thomas Robert Fulton, married a Margaret McCay from Drum in 1909. Thomas and Margaret had a daughter called Martha Quigley Fulton.

Rachel's mother was Margaret Walker and  I think Rachel was one of  7 children.
I don't have much information on the descendants of Adam's first marriage to  Jane Dale.
What's your interest in Adam and Rachel?  I have I little more information on Rachel ancestors.

Antrim / Re: Samuel Ahara/O'Hara & Margaret Greenwood - Ballymena?

According to Samuel's and Margaret's  marriage record, they were married in 1st Ballymena, Presbyterian church. In the early 1800's,  that would have been the closest Presbyterian church to the townlands of Ballycraigy/Ballycreggy and Ballykeel. There could be a chance the children were baptised in that church.
I think the church has records (marriage and baptism) from the early 1800's. There is a copy of their records at PRONI, or you could contact the church directly, I think they have a website.

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: O'Haras and Wasson's from Ballymena
« on: Wednesday 26 August 09 20:36 BST (UK)  »
I've come across this Edward Wasson/Catherine Haslett marriage before. Her father was Robert, his Alexander. Both Edward and Catherine were from the townland of Ballycraigy/Ballycreggy.
This townland is on the very edge of Ballymena in the direction of Kells.
The Hazlett/Haslett/Hezlet family had been in the area a long time before the marriage of Edward and Catherine. In Ballyclug Graveyard, located in the same area, there is a Hazlett headstone and one of the inscriptions on it dates back to 1720.
If you want to see the full inscription, go to Ballymena's Braid Centre's website, www.thebraid.com/genealogy.aspx . Ballymena Museum is making the headstone inscriptions from all the graveyards in the Ballymena area, available on-line.
Also on this site you'll find Jesse and Margaret O'Hara headstone in Connor New Cemetery (including his father's full name George Boal O'Hara) and I believe Edward and Catherine Wasson's headstone is found in St Patrick Churchyard Ballymarlagh.
There is Edward and Catherine Wasson on the 1911 census living in the Ross townland close to an Alexander and Agnes Wasson (most likely Edward's son and daughter-in-law). The ages on the headstone and census match roughly the information you already have on Edward and Catherine's children.
While Jesse and Margaret O'Hara are living in Tully in 1911
I also found the marriage of a William O'Hara of Tully to Jane McKillen of Liminary in 1869. William's father was  George B O'Hara. William could be a brother of Jessie's. By coincidence, one of the witness to this wedding was Martha MccAllen. I think one of Jesse and Margaret's children was called Margaret Anne McAllen O'Hara.
I hope you find some of this information of some use.

Have you tried getting a copy of your grandfather's birth certificate ? There should be one if he was born about 1880.
You can order certificates on line from the General Registry of N.Ireland. It would indicate his mother's name and his place of birth.
Have you checked the 1901 census for Ireland for French's living in Rathmore at that time. Unfortunately, at present I think the census is only available on microfilm.
