I am Taggart, I'm holding most of the same info and i was wondering if anything led you to the branch of Scottish taggarts? probably based in the Glasgow/ renfrewshire area???  is ur Andrew Taggart the Captain Taggart of the New loyalty?? it seems that this captain (if the same as yours) was heavily involved in the shipmeant of goods from ireland to Britain, however there seems to quite a few entries to Captain Taggarts shipping via Belfast to liverpool- liverpool to Africa- Africa to Jamaica then home to liverpool? he was defo working for a group of agent who were (to begin with) interested in the spoils of rum, sugar and tobacco. does this ring any bells???

Although I am a Taggart myself i am also a genealogist by trade and am researching the family on behalf of another taggart who is desperately tring to fill some gaps!
Lookforward to hearing from you

I feel as though I'm late to dinner with these posts for Taggart. I would be interested in anyone still following posts or new/more information. I recently discovered my 2x's great grandmother Mary Ann Taggart. I believe she was born in Northern Ireland approx 1836 (date based on other documents). She was married to Thomas Wright Vennard June 3, 1846 in the Tartaraghan Parish Church (shows as Taggert & Venert). Mary Ann lists her father as Francis Taggart & mother as Ann Baxter. Her spouse Thomas became an missionary for United Presbyterian Church in Northmavine Shetlands in 1881 while she shows as a missionaries wife in Crossmyloof, Cathcart. I'm not sure when they left Tartaraghan but I do know my great grandfather Thomas Vennard was born there July 13, 1853.

Hi I have not yet managed to read through all the posts in this thread but so far I have not found much about the Taggarts c1830 or earlier.

I have an interest because my earliest known Gawn ancestor had a son John Tilly Gawn b1795 in Donegore and lived in Kilbride, who married a Catherine Fletcher in 1826. One of their daughters was named Jane Taggart Gawn b1844. I have no idea of where the Taggart connection lies but there must be one.

So in the interests of broadening the Taggart pool form around this time I have a few First Donegore marriages that may be useful. Sorry if someone has already mentioned and eliminated these, in the middle pages of this thread;

Francis Taggart of Ballynoe married 17 Nov 1821 to  Rachel Warwick of Tobergill.
Mary Taggart of Ballynoe married  28 Nov 1821 to Israel Greer of Ballywoodock
William Taggart of Ballynoe, married 14 Oct 1829 to Esther Scott of Ballynoe
John Taggart of Tobergill, married 29 Mar 1844 to Jane Ellison of Tobergill.

Cheers

I just posted the earlier marriages but one that may be of interest to Taggart009  is a later marriage at Parkgate

Mary Taggart of Tobergill, daughter of Andrew a farmer, married on 29 Oct 1858 to Samuel Agnew of Donegore, servant and son of Robert Agnew, a farmer. Witness Mary Ann Taggart and Joseph Taggart.

Cheers

Linda.

Thank you for your update. Your information for Francis Taggart marrying Rachel Warwick matches my brother's belief although your date is couple months different. His belief is "On Mary Ann Taggart's death record it is stated Ann Baxter is her mother whom Francis married in 1822, however, Mary Ann Taggart's first child is named Rachel seemingly after Rachel Warwick whom Francis married Sep 17 1821. Francis married Anne Morrison Oct 17 1824 and his first wife was Jane McQuillan. I'm considering that Rachel was Mary Ann Taggart's biological mother, hence the child Rachel and that Ann Baxter was Francis' last wife, hence her mention to be being Mary Ann Taggart's mother on Mary Ann's death certificate." I know that this all might come together one day but for now, I'm still digging and appreciate all the posts.

Hi Taggart hunters.

I have checked my sources for the Francis Taggart marriage to Rachel Warwick and it still says the marriage was November 1821. Witnesses were Samuel Warwick of Tobergill and Duffin Carson of Balee near Ballymena.

I tried the link to the two Taggart wills but it didn't work so I have gone to the PRONI site. I see the later Andrew Taggart refers to his mother being still alive and I assume she is the Isabella nee Hamilton who was the widow of the Andrew Taggart who died 11 Mar 1886. Also said Isabella was not guilty of immorality --- oh my mistake, actually it was Andrew junior who was concerned about his widowed wife's morality after he died.

Still not the generation I am interested in but getting there!

Cheers

I have access to Ancestry so I have just looked up Andrew Taggart married to Isabella Hamilton and the marriage took place in Cairncastle on 7 Dec 1854. Andrew was the son of William Taggart and Isabella the daughter of Hill Hamilton.

The Will of Andrew Taggart who died 11 Mar 1886 names his wife as Isabella nee Hamilton.

The Will of Andrew Taggart late of Tamneybrake County Antrim Farmer and Flax Mill Owner who died 11 March 1886 at same place was proved at Belfast by William Patrick of Glencairn in said County and Joseph Smyth of Tamneybrake Farmers the Executors.

If this is the same Andrew who you say died 11 Mar 1884, then Isabella must be his second wife.

Cheers

Sorry I was in the middle of writing another post when it disappeared on me. I was saying I had not throughly read through the 1886 Will of Andrew Taggart, so had missed the bit where he named  David Taggart, Isabella Taggart and Ann Jane Taggart as children of his first marriage.

Gone again but this time I found my partially written post so can continue on.

I was also about to say that I have bow gone back to the first post and see the original date of death was 1886 not 1884. Sorry about getting that wrong but I cannot post and see earlier posts at the same time.

Anyway back to the Will, it also names a son as Hill Taggart who had a son Andrew. This Hill Taggart must be from the second marriage.

Not sure about Christopher Taggart who was also named but I assume the two sons who inherited the farm, Robert and Andrew were also from the first marriage. The remaining son Andrew snr named was William who was also presumably from the first marriage.

I think that is all the info I can draw from the will.

An Andrew Taggart appears in the 1796 Flax growers listing so is probably related to the above Andrew who had a flax mill.
