Duffin Carson of Belfast

[aghadowey]

My Great x 4 Grandfather Charles Rankin of Ballee, Ballymena married a Nancy Carson and an Agnes Carson.  I have Agnes' DOB as being 1798 from a headstone but I don't know anything regarding Nancy or their respective fathers. They may have been sisters!

Are you sure there were 2 different wives? Agnes, Nancy, Hannah, Ann, Anne, etc. are all interchangeable.

No I'm not sure to be honest. That is the first time that I've heard Agnes and Nancy are interchangeable.

Unfortunately the marriage records do not go far enough back to check.

William Carson b 1826 married on 31 Dec 1847 • Ballymena, Antrim, Northern Ireland to Mary Jane Rankin

Mary Jane Rankin is the sister of my Great x 3 Grandfather Charles. His wife Agnes Carson is also of the Carsonstown clan. I had a look at the Ballyclug Cemetery plot purchase list, and my Great x 3 Grandfather purchased a grave on behalf of the William Carson (his brother-in-law) above.

We are related, perhaps in more than one place?
