Thanks aghadowey.  Do you have any dates (bmd) or other info for John Ellis, son of Daniel Ellis and Mary Hanson?

According to notes typed by my grandfather's sister in 1933, Daniel's father John (Jack) Ellis (my gt gt gt grandfather) was a farmer and the proprietor of Toome Eel Fisheries. Apparently, he and his wife Mary had 10 sons.  Of these we only know of Daniel, Leslie (a farmer at Ballymaconnelly), Hugh (a doctor in Kilrea), James (a lawyer in USA), and Joshua (who fought in the American civil war).  Do you have any info for this family?

Hi stuartk

Thanks for the photo, it looks like a lovely property.

According to our records Daniel and Mary married on 4 October 1845.  Our records show that Margaret Ellis' siblings, James and Jane,  both died young.  We have no record of another sibling.

If William Hanson is your 4x gt uncle, then would George and Margaret Hanson be our first common ancestors (my 4x gt grandparents)?

Here's a photo of Margaret Anne Hanson Mann (nee Ellis).  My Grandfather carried this photo and a lock of her hair half way around the world with him.  Apparently, she was adored by all her children.

We look forward to swapping more info.

Hi stuartk

Henry Church Mann and Margaret Anne Hanson Ellis are my gt grandparents.  They had 11 children (that survived to adulthood) - my grandfather John Hercules Ellis Mann emigrated to Australia just before WW1.  Over the intervening century my family lost touch with all the other descendants of Henry and Maggie, until last year when my husband and I began to track them down.  We now have quite a bit of info on Henry and Maggie and their family, but only a tiny amount on the Hanson/Ellis branch.  We would be delighted to share our findings with you.  After you make 2 more posts we can PM you. 

Best wishes, overmann

Thanks aghadowey and kingskerswell. I have been in contact with George McIntyre and he was helpful in confirming that the family home was Drumlamph House, but doesn't seem to have any info on the family.  I think I have all the online info from PRONI including Henry's will (and his father's) that were in a box, which a staff member kindly copied and sent over. I have found over 100 articles refering to Henry and his father in the 19th century online Belfast Newsletter. With the help of the Griffiths Valuation online and Google Maps UK street view I have maps of their landholdings and pictures of these properties. The Australian National Library and the Victorian State Library do not have microfiche copies of the early 20th century editions of the Belfast Newsletter, so I suppose I was hoping to find someone with access to these records. It's very frustrating being so far from the information, maybe the next step is to buy a ticket to Belfast. Thanks again.

I'm looking for a death notice (and/or obituary) possibly in the Belfast News-Letter for my gt grandfather Henry Church Mann who died in hospital in Belfast on 11 May 1908. He resided at Drumlamph House, Castledawson. Can anyone help?

Derry (Londonderry) / Looking for Mr Mann
« on: Thursday 22 October 09 02:45 BST (UK)  »
In around 1840 Elizabeth Bouverie (nee Sheil) married a Mr Mann probably in the Parish of Magherafelt. Can anyone tell me Mr Mann's first name and the date of the marriage? He died between 1850 and 1855. A date of death would be a great help also.

Thanks aghadowey, the history of Drumlamph townland is very interesting.  The period I am looking at is about 1875 to 1910.  My gt grandfather Henry Church Mann was also a JP and magistrate and later the Baronial High Constable for Loughinsholin.  He gave his address as Drumlamph House, Castledawson on children's birth certificates, correspondence and his will, however, the Ulster Towns Directory lists it as Fairview.  I have seen Fairview House but have been unable to find any evidence of a Drumlamph House except for his references and a couple of references in postings about the Henry family (who had also lived at Fairview).  I was hoping to find if it still exists.  I'll try contacting George.
