TAGGART/HANNA/

[scotmum]

As Dixie has mentioned your Mawhinneys, I hope you don't mind me asking if they by any remote chance included a Martha Mawhinney who married a John Blair at St Anne's Church of Ireland on 13/1/1860?

Hello  DixieDee , been ages since I heard from you and its great to do so now.  Hope all has been going well for you in your research.  I kind of have slackened off. Just got frustrated. 
I do thank you so much for your attached info and will go right now and see if I have any connections, but just reading them as is I am not getting any bells ringing other than Carnmoney area.  I do know some of our Mawhinney and Taggarts (including my own taggart partents) are there.

I have been away on a huge long vacation into 3rd world countries and am just shacking off holiday feeling so will be starting to get back on the site soon again.
Great to hear from you Bobbie.

Their son William m Elizabeth McBride, b c1857, Lurgan area, father Samuel
An Alice Dixon, father George, m John Taylor, father John in Derryaghy 1882.
They were connected with the family somehow.
Think the Meharrys were too.

Hi folks - especially all those researching Taggart surname.

I had a thread a wee while ago in the Derry section about my grandfather who was born in Limavady Workhouse with the name Jackson Taggart.  Granda died some years ago and was unable to read or write.  I am trying to get a copy of his birth certificate but cannot order it online becasue there is no mention of his father.  His mother's name was Anne Taggart.  Granda was born 1909 and then seems to have been adopted 6 mths later and given a new name.  The name change came to light when he had to claim his pension.  The original birth certificate may be with my uncle in Canada.  Still searching but also found mention of 2 young men called Taggart who left Limavady in the late 1800s to sail to America.  There is a building firm here in the Limavady/Drumsurn area where I live who are also Taggarts but have had no luck yet getting to talk to any of the older members of the family. 

I am trying to find the list of names of those buried in the common grave beside Limavady Workhouse (the Roe Valley Hospital) because I wonder if my great-grandmother is buried there.  There is also a small Taggart family in Coleraine.

Regards
Betty

It would seem that an Annie Cox married a Jackson Taggart in 1886 in the Londonderry area. Certificate should be available from Registrars Office in Londonderry.

Also, it should be possible to get the birth certificate for Jackson Taggart born 1909 as I can see him on an index for that year. Certificate should be available to order via GRONI or GROIE, email or phone them and explain the problem you are having with online form.

Also, a Jackson Taggart appears on the Londonderry 1901 Census. This may be worthwhile having a look at - perhaps the Library in londonderry will have a copy.

I can confirm the following details from emerald ancestors:  Jackson Taggart married Annie Cox on 19th July 1886 at Ballywillan Church of Ireland, in the Parish of Ballywillin, Coleraine County Antrim.

Dear scotmum

I found the Taggart/Cox marriage as well and it belongs to the Coleraine/Aghadowey family - is not my grandad's line.  I know Jackson Taggart is fairly rare and have found very few instances of this name but that marriage had no children of that name.

Because he was born in the workhouse, I am trying to get to GRONI to look at the workhosue books (which are there) but there is a rule about 100 years having to elapse before they can be looked at for a certain year, so I might have to wait until next year to find out exactly why they were both in the workhouse and what was the circumstance that led Annie Taggart there - was she a single mother?  was she widowed? left destitute? or was her husband also in the workhouse but his name not inserted on the birth certificate because we know that father's name was left blank.

Regards
Betty

Hello Patricia, it’s really lovely to hear from you again.  Been a very long time.
Don't these Andrew's just drive you mad?  Even when we chatted ages ago, we had the feeling there is a connection with both our ancestors.  BUT it’s the finding of  that one darn link that I am having the trouble with.  I think we probably need a pair of fresh eyes that know what they are looking for. I have the same problem with my Andrews. For instance these are my Taggart’s . 

What I am trying to find out is if the Taggart’s in the attachment and the Andrew’s mentioned here, are connected .

1.  ANDREW1 TAGGART was born in Donegore, Antrim, and died March 11, 1886 in TamneyBreak. [sic. Tawnybrack] Co. Antrim. He married MARY SHANNON – record not yet found.
   
Children of ANDREW TAGGART and MARY SHANNON , baptized 1st Donegore Pres Ch., are:
2.   i.   WILLIAM TAGGART, b. September 20, 1821, Ballynoe. Co. Antrim
    ii.   ROBERT TAGGART,   b. November 12, 1824, Hungry Hall, Co. Antrim.;
            m. JANE MCBRIDE, March 03, 1847; b. Hungry Hall..
                 iii.    ANDREW TAGGART,  b. August 10, 1827,   Drumagargan [sic. Drumagorgan];
   iv.     JOSEPH2 TAGGART,    b. January 08, 1833,   Donegore. Co. Antrim Northern Ireland..
   v.   MARY TAGGART,      b. December 26, 1835, Donegore. Co. Antrim.

Hi Patricia, just checking in with you to see if our Andrew's have connected yet.  I have not found anything as yet but I just know they are related. Proving it is hard though.\
