Hello

Have you checked this resource from the Kirk Session book of Burt, more than 100 years previous to your time period but more interestingly it was research that was commissioned by the Ewing Family Association so I would think they have other resources and show Ewing's were prominent in Parish going back to the Plantation in the 1600's

Hi Neale,

He states in his Military records that he was born in Omagh, County Tyrone Ireland in 1875, I don't think the census record will give me any further information, I suspect it will just state he was born in Ireland

Thanks all

Yes the marriage Cert does not indicate that either parent is deceased although it does mention the fact that the brides father is deceased so I am thinking they were both still alive or maybe he didn't know.

Looks like without further concrete information this will remain a mystery

Thanks everyone for the input

Thanks Elwyn,
I did try multiple combinations and widened search criteria but turned up blank, on various databases, closest I found was a Bernard Murray born in 1878 address Fountain Street, Londonderry, his father was recorded as a seaman but mothers maiden name didn't fit or for that matter father's occupation. According to his granddaughter the family legend was he was born at sea. All a bit confusing unfortunately.

Tyrone / Bernard Murray b. 1875 Omagh
« on: Sunday 01 October 23 19:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello all,

I am searching for the birth record or any confirmation of the birth of Bernard Murray, in his naval records he states he was born on 18th February 1875 in Omagh County Tyrone and joined the Royal Navy in 1894, at the time of the 1901 Census he is aboard ship in Devonport

On his marriage certificate, from 1902, Greenock Scotland he states his father as Michael Murray, Railway Porter and his mother as Elizabeth Morrison.

The trouble is I can not confirm any birth record for him or any details on his parents other than those recorded in his marriage record

Any help appreciated

Donegal / Re: Upper Moville Presbyterian church (Clar)

Thanks Rathmore,


Thats an idea, although it was called the new church it was built in 1863! The older church was in the Parish of Moville Upper whereas the 'new' church was in Lower Moville, but as Presbyterians don't follow the Parish system not sure why both churches remained open together for so long but I suppose before the days of mass transport most would have walked to their place of worship but the churches were just over 2 miles apart!

Thanks for the additional info, actually The map from the 1920s looks like the current shed is located where the church would have stood, perhaps it was built from the remnants of the old church or is part of it, I hadn't noticed the chimney before.

As the church was only demolished in the early 1960s im sure there will still be those alive who remember it.

By the way my McCorkell ancestors lived in the adjacent townland, Ballyrattan.

Thanks again
Joe
