Dear Mary

I have come across the following but can't get any further:

Daniel Taggart married Sarah Mullen 24 May 1859 at Bovevagh
Children traced so far are:

Margaret born 17 Jan 1864
Sarah Jane born 28 Aug 1870
Daniel born 01 Apr 1876
Isabella born 13 May 1878

All born Bovevagh (my roots area) - all Taggarts but now stuck and hoping one of them had a daughter called Annie.

Regards
Betty

betty, some time back i gave you a marriage of jackson taggart to annie cox.

                                        regards mary.

Betty- IGI lists other children besides the 4 you mentioned:
-Robert Taggart born 13 Apr.1866 Co.Derry.
-Margaret Taggart born 9 Aug.1872 Ballykelly district.
-Margaret Taggart born 15 July 1874 Ireland.
-John Lyle Homer Taggart born 12 Aug.1880 Limavady.

Births for Margaret (1864) and Sarah Jane (1870) are submitted entries but list birthplace as Killyblugh, Bovevagh. Think it should be Killybleught instead of Killyblugh.

And in Pedigree Resource File:
Elizabeth Anne Taggart born 3 Mar.1866, died Canada, married Robert Rosborough. Her birthdate conflicts with Robert's but is a submitted entry so the date may be incorrect or equally there could be two Daniel Taggarts each married to a Sarah Mullan.

Dear Mary

my abject apologies - I have an entire floor littered with both Taggarts and Thompsons and should have read back to the beginning of the thread.  As you quite rightly say, there aren't too many Jacksons about and just maybe he married a lass from Coleraine.  What keeps sending me back to Bovevagh is that the McKays who adopted him came from Bovevagh.  I can't read the minutes of the workhouse until at least 2010 because there is closure of 100 years on registers. 

I'll try to find jackson snr again - then try for his marriage certificate.

Riveting stuff this - keeps me back from marking homeworks.

Regards
Betty

ps Mary

you are right about Killybleught - I had printed off a list of parishes of Bovevagh.

Dear Mary

just to let you know (and anyone else reading this) that I got the details of the Annie Cox who married a Jackson Taggart as follows:

Married at Ballywillan CofI on 19 July 1886

His father was Robert Jackson
Her father was William Cox

Jackson Taggart died 25 Dec 1931 at Glenmanus Portrush
Death registered by his son Percy Taggart

I don't know if this Jackson & Annie Taggart were then the parents of my grandfather Jackson Taggart of 1909.

where do you reckon I could go from here?

Regards
Betty
