HARVEY, TITTERINGTON, MOIRA and dOWN

[fmni]

Hi

I'm looking for information on Mary Titterington born Moira, Co Down.  She had two children Thomas Titterington (my Grandfather) born 16 August 1887 and Elizabeth Titterington born 12 January 1893.  On both Thomas and Elizabeth's birth certificates there is no mention of a father.  We understood Mary's maiden name was Trimble but are now having our doubts.  Mary later married Daniel Bann and had a further 7 children.  Mary also had two sisters - one married Joe Banks and the other married a McClelland.  Any information on Mary, her parents, sisters and her daughter Elizabeth would be greatly appreciated.   You can email me direct at Moderator Comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuses.

Better late than never with replying on these forums. I believe the Joe Banks you mention is a great or GG grandfather of mine although I haven't worked that one out yet. What was the sister called who married him? If it is my great grandfather then I can fill you in more details regarding that side of your family that exist today. If not he's definately a relative of my great grandfather (who was definately Joseph Banks of Moira) - and possible even his own father.

Ellen Titterington (born approx 1882) married Joseph Banks in 1903 in Co Down.  To my knowledge they had four children Joseph, Thomas, Matt & May I do not have dates of birth for the children.  I don't have any more information on the Banks side of my tree but have quite a bit on Ellen's brothers & sisters and their families that I am willing to share.

Anne, i sent you an email yesterday to an address i found for you on another site.

Ellen Titterington would have been my great grandmother then....

They in fact had 8 children - the four you name - Joseph, Thomas, Matt & May and also Isaac, Angelina, Getrude and George. After Ellen died, Joseph re-married a woman called 'McKeown' from the Aghalee area - i'm unsure of her first name - and had one more son, Samuel.

Of Joseph and Ellen's children - what I know is:

Joseph - Married an English woman called Kathleen - unsure of her surname and I believe they had two children Ian and David

Matt - I believe he married but haven't found out anymore on him yet

Isaac - Died young, but unsure the reasons why - or indeed how young - I believe a violin that was passed down the family was his.

Thomas - Married a woman called Jessie and they had a son and a daughter called Roy and Shirley

May - don't believe she married but had a son called Ian - May moved to England

Angelina - Married a man called Kennedy - they had 10 children, Trevor, Norman, Jim, Moira, Ella, Mervyn, Gilbert, Tom, Ernest and Dawson

Gertrude - Married a man called Fred - they lived in an area called Gawley's Gate and are buried at Soldierstown Parish Church

George - Born 28th May 1919 - he married Rachel Walker and they had four children, George, Ella, Ray and Audrey - George is my grandfather, making Joseph and Ellen my Great Grandparents.

Hi


for many years, I have helped fellow researchers trace my mothers name of Titterington and am now a member of a Titterington one name study. I have recently been asked again to try and help with some of the Northern Ireland Families with that name. Although I have over 25,000 pieces of data the NI family is very much disjointed due to missing records. I would like to ask for a copy of any transcroptions you have and if possible for any NI record re Titterington. I would also be willing to share anything I Have.

I am a first time user of this site and must hope you get this message. My grandmother was namely, Esther Jane Titterington daughter of Alexander Titterington and Mary Anne McAleenan resident in Ballyknock, Parish of Moira on the date of marriage viz; 6 May, 1862 at Moira Parish Church by Rev W.H. Wynne by licence according to the rites and ceremonies of the Unied Church of England and Ireland. Alexander and Mary Anne came to Glasgow where my grandmother Esther Jane Titterington was born on 5 September, 1869 at Glasgow where she died on 4 July, 1942. Back in 1983, I contacted the Titterington's of Moira - there were only three listed in the phone book them. I wrote to all three who got together and nominated one of their number to reply namely, Mrs Kay Simpson nee Titterington. Kay did a wonderful job in visiting the Record Office and recording by hand every entry for the Titterington's which remains in my possession. I am willing to share this with you - so please direct any questions and I will endeavour to answer. Although Mrs Simpson nee Titterington and I could not establish a family relationship there were family likenesses in photographs - but in spirit we felt a stong sense of kinship. I will always be indebted to her for all her valuable work on my behalf and remember with considerable fondness our meeting in Moira about 12 years ago. Interestingly enough an entry in my Family History Record jumped off the page a few minutes ago. It read: Jane Titterington married Alexander Harvey on 15th June, 1866 at Moira. I hasve often wondered given the name Jane as a middle name to my grandmother if the said Jane who married Alexander Harvey was a sister to my grandfather Alexander Titterington who married Mary Anne McAleenan whose father incidentally was Henry McAleenan (Labourer). I look forward with some eagerness to hearing from you. Yours etc. Bob Currie

Bob, I have read with interest your above account and in particular, that you have information from Mrs Kaye Simpson that you are willing to share.  My great great grandfather was Edward Titterington.  He married Margaret Trimble and they raised their family in Moira.  Edward was a sexton of St John's church in his later years.  His marriage certificate claims that his father was called John whom we believe was married to Mary Wolfington/Wolfendon.  He had two younger sisters, Mary and Emily, but I wonder if he had any brothers too?  He named his sons William John b 1859, James b 1862 and Edward b 1865 His daughters were named Margaret, Emily, Emily and Eliza Jane. (Janet was a highly respected name in our family?)    Does the material that you have from Kay Simpson include any of the names mentioned in my family?  It seems that there were a number of Titteringtons within a relatively small area and it would seem logical that they are somehow related .... just a case of finding the right link.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Bob - I am very interested in the fact that you say that you have a copy of the entries from the record office.  I would be extremely interested to see this information, if you are willing to share it with me.  I am descended from Edward Titterington and his wife, Margaret Trimble.  His parents were John and Mary Wolfendon.  The births of some of Edward's children were recorded in Moira Church along with those of the children of George and Margaret, Richard and margaret and John and Rebecka.  Due to the close proximity of the townlands, and the fair uniqueness of the name of Titterington/Titterton it would seem likely that the above are all possibly related.  I would be very interested to see if your records are able to take me any further in my quest.

Sorry - I seem to have made a mess of responding to the quote above.
