Moody family, Magilligan parish

[E Caldwell]

That would answer why they are there at the same time.  Thanks for clearing it up.  Back to the hunt.

I have a family tree which says that Mary Campbell who married John Moody on 8th July 1851 in Magilligan Pres Church was born 10th June 1826 in Yorkshire. Unfortunately no source was given but perhaps it came from Mary's death certificate in Australia. Maybe someone out there is able to verify this?

I recently did a bit of research into Mary Campbell and found the following.

William Campbell married Susannah Eland 27th April 1823 in St Martin’s Church Womersley, Yorkshire. William’s age was given as 21. Residence was Womersley No father’s name was given. Susannah was under 21 and her father was John Eland whose residence was given as York.

Children of this marriage were:
1.   Susannah Campbell bapt 4th July 1824 in St Martins, Womersley, Yorkshire. Residence Womersley. Occupation of father was a farmer.

2.   Mary Campbell bapt 9th July 1826 in St Martins, Womersley, Yorkshire. Residence Stapleton Park. Occupation of father was a Farm Bailiff.

3.   John Campbell bapt 6th Dec 1827 in St Lukes, Darrington, Yorkshire. Residence Stapleton. Occupation of father was a Bailiff to E.Petre Esq. 
John Eland Campbell bapt 11th Jan 1828 in St Martins, Womersley, Yorkshire. Residence was Stapleton Farm. Occupation of father was a Bailiffe to E. Petrie.

Looks like John was baptised twice.

4.   William Campbell bapt 25th Dec 1829 in St Luke’s, Darrington, Yorkshire. Residence Stapleton. Occupation of father was a Bailiff to E.Petre Esq.

5.   Ann Campbell bapt 6th May 1832 in St Martin’s, Womersley, Yorkshire. Residence Cridling Stubbs. Occupation of father was a Steward to Hon.E.Petre.

What is given on Mary Campbell's 1851 marriage as her father's occupation?

Mary's father was a farmer. The information I have says William Campbell was a Scot who migrated to Magilligan.

Hi,
    From the Londonderry Sentinel of 11 Jul 1851 - "On the 8th inst, in the Presbyterian Church, Magilligan, by the Rev. William Irvine, Dungiven, Mr. John Moody, Gortmore, to Mary, daughter of Mr. William Campbell, Benone."

Regards

Thanks kingskerswell. This is more or less the same as the marriage entry in the Coleraine Chronicle except that it gives the additional information that Rev William Irvine was from Dungiven.

I really want to verify that this Mary Campbell is the same as the one born in Yorkshire.

The information re her father has come from a very reliable source so I think it is probably correct. I would just like to know for certain!

Thanks kingskerswell. This is more or less the same as the marriage entry in the Coleraine Chronicle except that it gives the additional information that Rev William Irvine was from Dungiven.

William Irvine, "a Limavady man." was minister Dungiven Presbyterian Church 15 Apr.1851-1854, appointed to a "seaman's chaplaincy in Belfast," called as first minister Sinclair Seaman's Church in Jan.1855.

Mrs. Mullin's book, The Presbytery of Limavady gives more details: "son of Campbell Irvine of Drumrane, Limavady. His mother was Margaret Oliver, whose brother was the Rev. Wm. Oliver of Dunluce. Through his mother he was related to Professor Witherow, the historian. His brother was T.J. Irvine, J.P., High Sheriff of Derry." Retired 1861 due to ill health. "He returned to his childhood home where he lived with his brother and sister until his death in 13 November 1862 aged almost 36. He was buried in the family grave in Drumachose Presbyterian graveyard where the tombstone records the deaths of his parents, his two sisters and three brothers."

Hi Cyclamen, the above information aligns with what I was given by one of Mary's descendants who apparently asked someone living in the UK to check it.  Mary's death certificate does not include the name of her father or her place of birth.  Certificates issued in South Australia (i.e. birth & death registration remained a state & territory responsibility after the creation of the Australian Federation in 1901) after 1908 do include the place of birth subject to what the informing party knows about the deceased. 

Here is a summary of Mary's certificate:
Death Date: 10 May 1902, Gender: F. Age: 75y, Approx. Birth Year: 1827, Marital Status: W
Relative 1: M PHILPS (D), Residence: Dutton , Death Place: Dutton, District: Kapunda, Book/Page: 285/446.

The Rev William Irvine (1826-1862) who married John Moody & Mary Campbell in 1851 was the son of Robert Campbell Irvine (c1790-1863). Rev Wm Irvine was also the great grandson of Robert Campbell who was listed in Drumrane in the 1740 Protestant householders' survey.

Robert Campbell Irwin/Irvine (c1790-1863) was the son of William Irwin by Mary Campbell of Drumrane. The latter Mary Campbell was the daughter of William & Mary Campbell of Drumrane (and William was son of Robert Campbell in 1740 protestant householders)

I wonder if the Yorkshire Campbells were connected to the Drumrane Campbells in some way?
