Thanks for the information about the Rev Jeffrey. I asked NIFHS for a lookup in Greyabbey on the marriage of Archibald Hunter and Anne McCarten on 10th August 1839 but they came back saying they could not find any record of the marriage. The fact of the marriage was recorded in the Belfast Newsletter so I'm at a loss to understand why they could not find the marriage record. I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks, so much information. I have used the Ros Davies site before and found it very useful.

One bit of information I am keen to find out concerns The Rev H. Jeffrey and which church he was in charge of in Greyabbey.  He married Archibald Hunter and Anne McCarten on 10th August 1839. If I know the church, I can hopefully ask for a look up on the marriage certificate.

Thanks again

Thanks for all these grave inscriptions. It all looks like very useful information. Hopefully I'll be able to work out the family structure.

Thanks everyone. How strange about the eel. Anyway, William is possibly Archibald's father - so more research to do.

According to The Belfast Newsletter, my 3x Great Grandfather Archibald Hunter married Anne McCarten on 10th August 1839 in Greyabbey, County Down. He is from Whitechurch and she is from Ballyboghillhow.

I have tried to locate Ballyboghillhow but with no success. Can anyone help me locate it.

Thanks

Thanks to all. A visit to Sheffield Archive is the next course of action.

Thanks for all the clarifications so far. If Mary went to the workhouse infirmary solely for the purpose of delivering her baby - then the workhouse may not have recorded her entry and exit. However, I wonder if the Infirmary kept it's own records?

Rosie,
From what you say, it sounds as if the Workhouse provided a delivery service for pregnant mothers. So they could enter the Workhouse for the sole purpose of delivering their baby and then returning home.

Thanks for the link which gives the inmates at the date of the 1881 census. However Mary Riley entered the Workhouse sometime between the 1881 census and May 1882 when her illegitimate daughter was born.
Thanks
