PENTLAND

[gardenboffin]

Richard Pentland married Mary Ann Davis, c. 1828   
2 sons baptised  William 1830 and Davis 1831 , BUT registered as Pendleton or similar.

Need information on these parents and on Davis.   Have 99% of info on William after his migration to Australia 1850.

Have Richard on the Griffiths Tythe register.
Are there any living Pentland families in the Portadown /Tandragee area?

Hi

You might like to look at this thread: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,150187.msg689493.html#msg689493

Although I am connected to the Pentlands (rather distantly, though) I haven't done any research on them myself. However, from contact with others, including some who contributed to that thread, I understand that the name was sometimes recorded as Pendleton.

Thank you for your prompt reply, arthur!  I did have a look on that thread yesterday.  Thomas Pentland is not as yet connected to our family of Pentlands.  But perhaps somewhere down the track there may be a connection. The other problem is to find the connection between the Gilmerton Scotland Pentland family and the Portadwon Pentland families.  I am in contact with colinY, and elizabeth from Sydney NSW, Australia.   How can I contact the post from Moe? I sent her a message on the beginners page but she may not be looking.  Moe is in the area where our William Pentland settled eventually.  My brother has colated a booklet about the 'Gippsland Pentland Family history' .
Thank you for your message , Tony,
Are there any school records that would cover the time 1835-50? for the Portadown/ Tandragee area.

hi,

i dont know if school records still exsist but if they do you would find them on the proni ( public records of northern ireland) website;

http://applications.proni.gov.uk/LL_DCAL_PRONI_ECATNI/SearchPage.aspx

this allows you to search their catalogue. put the settings to "match phrase" and see what comes up! just typeing in a surname could find something of interest, with luck!

Have Richard on the Griffiths Tythe register.

hello again

richard is listed on griffiths valuation of ireland in the parish of drumcree in the annagh townland. The Annagh,as it's called, is on the tandragee side of portadown. the tithe applotment books are seperate from griffiths. the tithes were a tax that had to be paid to the established church and were much earlier than griffiths.

Thanks, Tony, for that correction on Griffiths valuation. Don't know if they in Tithes Applotment books.  Is that info available on line.

I have tried to access PRONI for school pupil records, but I think I will have to send them an e-mail. 
There is a John Pentland mentioned in some records (not school pupil) but there is no way of knowing if that could be our John Pentland.  Feel that it is not as he asks /or is asked to be accepted as parish something or other. Can't remember what that was. Anyway I shall send an e-mail to PRONI.

the drumcree tithe applotments are in proni. you can find some tithe records for other parishes on different websites but i haven't come across those for drumcree yet so proni would be your best bet.

Thanks again, Tony.   Colin Y. has given me a list of extra PENTLANDS that he could not place in his 'tree''   This has given me some more children of Richard PENTLAND and Mary Ann DAVIS. This totals about 4.   Now I need to find the death/burial of Mary Ann DAVIS.  She may have died in BELFAST.  There was a rumour in the family of either her dying there or William PENTLANDS wifes mother dying there.  I will post both these names seperately.   I have looked in a couple of places with no certain result.
