LIVINGSTONE, Lurgan

[aghadowey]

Rosemary- found a bit on Internet about Hamilton Livingston the Quaker and it seems certain that he is not the Hamilton Jardine Livingston that I'm looking for. THanks for your help.

Rosemary- was an obituary in newspaper recently for a Livingstone in Portadown. If you want, I'll send it to you.

Yes Please, it might be one of mine.  Rosemary

Hi there Rosemary Joan, and Aghadowey....

My grt grt Grandmother was a Rachel Livingston, b. 1849 her father was Malcolm Livingston...have found Rachel married Robert Thompson 5 May 1869, at Derrymore....I am led to believe that the border between County Armagh, & County Londonderry is not that far....Rachel and Robert appeared to have Settled in Limavady, Londonderry.....any advice or info would be gratefully received.

ps. Aghadowey had sent me the 1901 entry from 15 Protestant street, Londonderry with regards to Robert and Rachel...thanking you again

All the Best
Wendy

Sorry Wendl,  I haven't come across a Malcolm Livingston on my travels.  It might be worth having a look at Emerald Ancestors.  I haven't got a subscription this month, but maybe someone will have a look for you.  Is the Derrymore you mention in Co. Armagh?  There are probably quite a few townlands of that name so you would need to know the county.  Rosemary

Wendy- first of all, there is no border between Co. Armagh and Co. Derry (Co. Tyrone is in between the two).
Think the church you might be looking for is DERRAMORE Presbyterian Church outside Limavady. Originally called Bolay (or Bolea) and was a united charge with Myroe from 1825 until 1836. There's an old notebook which records baptisms from Aug.1825 and marriages 1827-1838. The church was in the townland of Derramore. Derramore is located to the east of Limavady between the A37 and B201 (Limavady to Coleraine roads).

hi there...

I thank you for your insight.....grasping at straws with these people and getting no where fast!!!  To be honest much more familiar with the Belfast area's than those in Londonderry.....have not had much luck tracing the Livingston(e)'s or the Thompson's...was thinking they may have originated in another area.

Thanks muchly,
Wendy
