Has anyone copied the 1901 entry for Hill Street, Lurgan which was on this site?  Looking for Livingstone and McClean.  Regards to all, Rosemary

Are you looking for information on James Livingston and Margaret McClean?  I see at least a few baptisms at Lurgan First Presbyterian for Margaret 12-18-1870 DOB , Daniel 9-27-1873  DOB. Edward Wilcocks 5-24-1876 DOB

 James is listed in Silverwood.

I rented a copy of some of Lurgan's 1901 census and am looking for Hill Street, but I may not have ordered all of Hill Street.  It will arrive in perhaps 2 weeks.  I am following Knocknashane Cullys, also. 

Let me know more specifically which people you are trying to follow.  There are lots of McCLeans and Livingstons/Levingstons.  The Baptism records have  a gap, but go way back.

Thanks for the Livingstone information.  Mine lived in Ballydugan (Tullylish) which is a couple of miles outside Lurgan.  I have researched back to the marriage of James Levingstone (!) and Rebecca Porter in 1872 in Lurgan and have found their children, including an adopted one.

As for the Cullys - they seem to have originated in Mullaghbrack and moved to Lurgan in the late 1880s.  I can send you all my info if you send me an email address.  Regards, Rosemary

Looking back on my notes, I see we never found our Cullys to link together.  The Ballydougan link sounds far more promising.

Kat, have sent you an email with my research.  Rosemary

Hi,
Have you checked for the name Livingstone/Levingston(e) in the rural townlands between Lurgan and Portadown. eg Ballygargan,Knocknamuckley and Drumnacanvey.

Not all of Hill Street was available and it was split in 2 sections in what I saw.

Non Catholic  McCleans were on Avenue Road where many weavers were, but several  census returns in 1901 were not available for that road and there was a McClean on Brown.  I do not have records of Catholic McCleans and there was one servant.   Which McClean would be of interest?

Rosemary,
I probably sent you this already.

                           
   1     James Porter      b: Knocknamuckley & Ballynagarrickweaver Knocknamuckley church            
.      +Eliza                     
   2     Isabella Porter   1845 -   b: February 22, 1845 bapt date            
   2     Ellen Jane Porter   1848 - 1876   b: February 26, 1848 Bapt date K  K church apparently didn't marry as somewhat matches death age for that name   d: January 28, 1876         
   2     Hannah Porter   1851 -   b: December 26, 1851 bapt date  K church            
   2     Samuel Porter   1858 -   b: May 07, 1858 quite possibly with a Pollock wife, if so he is a postman in Knocknamuckley 1901 census    

I have James Porter as the father of Rebecca Porter and that Knocknamuckley was where she lived.   Do you know if this is the James above?  He lived in Knocknamuckley and
I am hoping his son Samuel is the one in my tree.

I thought James Livingston had parents William and Elizabeth Thompson, though this may be from your records.  Have you found much more?  Who was adopted?
