Gaston family

[aghadowey]

Certainly Annie Paul is an option for the marriage but as I say earlier the marriage could have taken place in Dublin or anywhere else. When Roy gets more information from child's brth certificate of other sources he can post it here.

Roy,
    Nearest I could find was John Gaston married Annie Paul, father Moses, in Ballymena Baptist Church on 15 Nov 1887. John's father could have been , William, Luke or Robert. The Irish habit of naming the eldest son after the Father's father might indicate Robert.

Regards

Annie paul was the 2nd wife of john and john's father was Robert gaston married to martha ann gaston robert is my gg grandfather hope this helps someone

Hi
Thanks for posting your Gaston details.  Are we chasing the same family I wonder?  I am researching a Robert John & Annie Gaston, who married about 1886, and had 13 children born to them of which only 6 were still living by 1911.  Robert John Gaston was also deceased by the 1911 census so I have no further information on him.  Annie, however was listed as widow, head of the household, born c.1871, living with her were Robert John, son, obviously named after his father, b.1889; Sarah Kathleen, daughter, b. c.1893; Godfrey, b. c.1896; Mathew, son, b. c.1899; David, son, b. c.1902 and Leslie, b. c.1907, all born County Antrim.  If you recognised any of the above names then I would be pleased to correspond and exchange information.

Known Gaston family members alive today reside in the Belfast area.

Regards, Roy

Dannemois:

My friend is related to the Gaston family you are looking for. Have you found them in 1901 yet? If not, I have, so I'll help you out if need be.

Hello Roy,

I see you have sent me a message, but it seems I have no way to respond. My friend has very little information on her family, and I am unfamiliar with researching in Ireland. She lives in Canada now, but would like to know more about her ancestors.

Perhaps if you post the details of your friend's Gaston family we will be able to help.

Starting with the details in the first post on this thread, here's a link to the 1911 census- note that the family is Church of Ireland but were Presbyterian in 1901:

The 1901 census is now online and here's the same family then- notice that wife Annie's birthplace is now given as Cork City, not Dublin as in 1911 census:
