Donegore - Bryson-Wilson

[threekids5]

James Bryson d. 1909 was the son of Robert Bryson and Margaret Warwick and the grandson of James Bryson from Covelodge.  The James Bryson d. 1832 had two children John d.1841 and Joice d. 1862. John had several children including John d. 1859 whose will I sent you.

James Bryson d. 1909 lived on the Ballyvoy property as he took the lease over from John d. 1841 after he died. James's descendents are the current owners and inherited the property which includes Covelodge, a home that was one and a half stories but now two stories, the original stone cottage and a stone cottage that only the foundation exists now. 

That's the info I have from the current residents of the property. I haven't found any other records for children of James Bryson d. 1832 other than the will which lists Joice.

I am getting lost in Brysons so have been working through some of the relationships.

I have looked up the 12 Dec 1855 marriage of James Bryson of Ballyvoy ,  who was the son of another James Bryson, to Annie Boyd, widow  of Ballybracken who was the daughter of Robert Bryson.

Correction the 1855 marriage was 28 December 1855.
And his spouse  was Agnes Boyd.

I am not sure how to post the Irishgenealogy link except by copying the site and it seems awfully long and doesn't seem to work.

So will just try the irishgenealogy site instead. Still does not look as if it will work though

Are you on Ancestry? I have the Bryson branches pretty well documented.  Yes, Agnes Bryson Boyd was a daughter of a Robert Bryson but not the Robert Bryson/Margaret Warwick pairing. They were James d1909's parents. That branch had so many Bryson/Bryson marriages it's hard to keep track.

I'll look again later and let you know about Agnes Boyd. If you're on Ancestry I'm happy to give you access to my tree.

I'll look at the documents I have. I haven't looked at that branch for a while. I got most of the information from the current Ballyvoy residents and Etta.

OK so it looks like the irishgenealogy link worked. I used a time period of marriages up to 1860 for my search for James Bryson marriages. This happens to also brung up Brysons femails whose husband is named James . So as my link to Brysons is through Gawns(see link to Will on page 2 by AnnFerguson), my eye was caught by the marriage in 1849 of Joyce Bryson of Ballybracken, aged 21,  daughter of Robert.

This is not the Joice Bryson, spinster who died 1862 who I have as the Aunt of John Gawn (from his will of 1822). I have this older Joice down as the daughter of a James Bryson of Ballyvoy who died 1 Aug 1832 and his wife Elizabeth who died 1831.

I do not have a name for the mother of John Gawn and his sister Agnes (who married Francis Ferguson)

Yes I am in Ancestry and I was away looking at my Donegore Gawn family tree (which I don't  update much)  to check what I have on the Joice Bryson who died 1862.

This tree has mostly the families of Billy Gawn who set up the site with the wills.

It was only relatively recently that Billy found out where our two famlies connect . Hiso married the unknown Bryson. My Ancestor (5x gt grandfather) was John Gawn born c1825 older brother of James Gawn. So my relationship to these Brysons is very remote.

OOps a large chunck of text got deleted from this last post while I was  not looking.

The missing text said that Billy Gawn's ancestor was James Gawn born c 1737 and died 1793 younger brother of my 5th gt grandfather John. James Gawn whose son was the one in the link and the one who married the unknown Bryson, daughter (I am guessing) of James Bryson of Ballyvoy who died 1832.
