TAGGART/HANNA/

[Christopher]

Hi Robert and Colette, I was wondering if it would be too much of an imposition to ask if either of you would be visiting Proni in the near future if you could and would have time to look up information on the following.

Robert James Taggart who was married to Sarah McCormack and lived in glen Cottage. Ligoneil. Belfast in and around the 1940's to 50's.

I am trying to find out who were the Parents of this Robert Taggart.

I would be be very grateful . Val.

Hiya Val,

Who is Robert  I have a bus pass and can get to PRONI at virtually no cost except shoe leather. I understand that there is a coffee machine or something similar at PRONI (Hint...hint )

All the Best, Chris

Hei Val,

I have been rooting around looking for Robert. Would this be Herbert Taggart, aged about 23 (the article does not mention an age) - Herbert Taggart caused a fatal crash on the Saintfield Road when he collided with a motor cycle whilst driving without headlights. The pillion passenger, Annie Hewitt of Saintfield, died in the accident

I found three more Taggarts who attended Larne Grammar School pre the First World War and served in the army during the war. They were Robert S. Taggart who was the medical officer in charge of the 12th Battalion RIR, Alfred Charles Taggart and Thomas L. Taggart.

Another Taggart, a surgeon, was a member of the Belfast Medical Society in the 1850s . www.users.zetnet.co.uk/jil/ums/bms/cat_1859.pdf

All the Best, Chris

Herbert Taggart mentioned above was my Uncle.  The others dont ring a bell at all Chris.

Didn't ring a bell, eh, Val Must be gatecrashers then. I hope someone claims some of these other Taggarts. There are so many Taggarts round here
I find it all very confusing :-

Here is another Taggart to add to my confused state..
1824 James Taggart, woollen draper, Kilrea. Co. Derry

Hiya Val,

This has gone a bit quiet recently.

I have found an Andrew, a Norman and a Thomas Taggart in the 11th (Service) Battalion Royal Irish Rifles

Sorry Chris, I had to put our beautiful Collie down yesterday and to tell you the truth I can't think of anything else right now I am so very upset.
I promise I will get back on form again but right now I am hurting too much to care much about anything. Val.

[Christopher]

Sorry to hear the sad news Val.

I know the feeling. It is identical to losing a much loved member of the family.

Hello Val,

How are you feeling Are you still a bit low   I have found another Hanna  ..George ..from Belfast. He was executed for desertion in 1917. It saddens me to read his story. At the moment all I know about him is he was one of four brothers who fought in WWI...the other three died in action. There was another sibling...a sister. George had not had leave for three years and was trying to get back to Belfast to see his sister.  http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/L/lostgeneration/worldwide/irish2.html

All the Best, Chris
