Down / Re: Mary McBlain parents Jane McRoberts/John McBlain
« on: Tuesday 23 July 24 13:08 BST (UK)  »
My great granny Mary White nee cousins is noted on the  1901 irish census with lodgers named McRoberts. It says they are family. The interesting thing is that my grandmother Anne Mary White who lived with her mother Mary, married my Granda James McBlain in 1902.

Hello
I have found a Robert McBlain married to a Christian Watson who had a child die in 1771.  The child was called Jane  and they had another child, also Jane, in 1775.  I cannot find any info on Christian.  I have found a Leonard Watson who had Robert McBlain as an executor to his will ...... I wish I could find out more about the watson branch in this connection.

My family were in Church Terrace in 1901 and also lived in Movilla street in 1911 and in fact, Adair is connected to my family too.  If you would like to speak privately then contact me on (*)

Hello there
I have just posted before I found your kind offer. 1901 census shows my granny Anna (otherwise Anne but known as Minnie) aged 20 living at 4 Church Terrace, Newtownards with her mother Mary White (widow) aged 54 years and her brother William J White aged 14. It says they were all born in County Down and were methodists.

 I have seen my granny and granddads notice of marriage 1902 and it says her father was called David and that he was a Labourer (deceased).  I think something is wrong somewhere with the information though.  I have been searching for 17 years to find my granny as we knew very little about her. So the info on the census is very exciting but a bit puzzling.  I don't know when or where David died or how and who Mary was.  And what happened to William?  My granny went to live in Scotland in 1907 but without William.

I would be very grateful for any help you can give ....so to recap, I think

Anna or Anne was born in County Down in 1881
William J born approc 1866 in County Down
Mary born approx 1847 in County Down
David deceased between 1886  and 1901

All Methodists - allegedly.

Kind regards and living hope

Down / white/cousins methodists n/ards 1880 to 1902
« on: Monday 02 August 10 22:32 BST (UK)  »
Would it be possible for a look up to be done in Methodist records between 1880 and 1902?  Any record at all for david white; Mary White or Cousens (any spelling) William J White; Anna M white.  Address in 1901 census given as 4 Church Terrace Newtownards but in 1901 David was deceased. Census says Mary, Anna and William all born in County down.

Grateful for any help please.

Hi there

Thank you for your very kind reply and offer.  I would a photo of the grave, if it is not too much trouble.  I live in London during the week and at weekends in the Midlands.  My mum's Parents were Henry Dougan Sandford and Agnes Jane Bell.  A lot of the Bells lived in or near Clifton Street in Belfast at the end of 1800's and early 1900's.  I have been looking for Mary Jane Flack who married William James Bell.  My mums family came from Ballymena and went to Belfast but I don't know when or why.  I have been unable, so far, to find a marriage for WJ Bell and Mary Jane Flack but these are the names on my grandmothers birth certificate. 
Any info you have access to, would be gratefully accepted.

Thank you once again for your very kind offer

Kind regards

Anne  :)

Armagh / Re: Bell/ Flack Family - any

Hi,
    A parent search on the IGI gives:-

16 Jul 1873  Belfast  Rebina Gallagher Bell
  5 Jul 1875  Belfast  William John Bell

  I cannot find a marriage on Emerald Ancestors.

Regards

Thanks very much for your kind help. I have found a couple of the children but as everyone is called by the same or similar names,  it is very difficult to assess who is the mother.

Thanks Aghadowey. I had found Rebina on Emerald ancestors, but did not understand why I couldn't find her as an adult.  I have not been able to find the mother Mary jane.  I have found 1 adult and 1 child shown as deceased in 1901 but don't know if they are my Mary Jane Bell and whether they are mother and child.

I appreciate your help.

Kind regards
