Hi Mary,

I thankyou very much for the information you sent....appreciate it...have had so much success with my maternal side in Belfast, that I just can't stop looking for the Paternal side in Londonderry....I know they are out there somewhere...just a matter of finding where.

Once again, Thankyou for taking time out of your day to assist my search!

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

Sean Ruad's IreAtlas lists eighteen places named Derrymore in Ireland. Apart from one in Donegal the only other one listed is in Co. Antrim ...

Derrymore townland
457 acres
County Antrim
Upper Massereene Barony
Aghagallon Civil Parish
Lurgan Poor Law Union
Province of Ulster

It must be reasonably close to Lough Neagh as there is, or possibly was, someone there who built boats which were used on the Lough. At the Toomebridge end of the Lough there are places in counties Antrim, Armagh, Derry and Tyrone that are fairly close together.

Do you know of any connections from your Livingstone family to County Armagh?

I have a John HAMILTON who married an Elizabeth Mary LIVINGSTONE in Milford, Armagh in 1862. Her father's name was Thomas LIVINGSTON/LEVINGSTON and he was a school master, as were she and John. A John George LIVINGSTONE was witnessed at their wedding and a Jane ECCLES.

Not sure where the family was from or where Eliza Mary was born. Believe she lived in Milford from 1862 until about 1927 when she died. They had nine children, several generations carry the name LIVINGSTONE as a middle name.

Hi Folks,

Aghadowey, I presume you already have the marriage record of Hamilton Jardine Livingstone as you mentioned the date he got married and to who but just in case I found it on a pilot lds site and it took place in the Coleraine Registration district. in the first quarter of 1884 It states on the lds site that it is film no 101254, vol 1, page 487, digital gs number 4179387, image number 00471.
Probably not much help but just in case.

I have Livingston(e)/Levingston(e) in my family too but from the Lurgan and Portadown area.

Thanks, aljepeka. I have the marriage which took place in Aghadowey Presbyterian Church (comes under Coleraine Registration District).

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

[Wendl]

Hi Gowan...

We could be related...!!! Robert Thompson is my grt grt Grandfather...he was married to Rachel Livingston, and I believe  his first wife may have been an Ellen Livingston....From what I have found...in the 1901 census they lived on Protestant Street, in Limavady...my Grt Grandfather was James Thompson, he immigrated to Canada in 1913.  Would love to compare notes with you...

All The Best
