What was Miss Moreland's father's name?  Perhaps we can find some info through that.

Hi RosemaryJoan,

Sarah's  Father was Henry Moreland and her mother was Harriet Gamble.  I have info on both of their families.  Henrys father did not share his surname?? It was McCandless.
I was told once (I don't know how accurate it is) that there are 4 pages missing from one of the dromore churches records in Proni...so maybe , knowing my luck this is where the answers to my question lies . 

Hi Crowlie,

I have noticed this Robert Cardwell before and if I recall he DID have a son by the name of William but there is a bit of a distance between Loughgall and Drumiller in Dromore...maybe it is worth investigating although I know at the time of William C1860 and Sarah Morelands marriage they were living in Dromore.

Also the Loughgall Cardwells are linked to the Annaghmore and Dungannon Cardwells.. I noticed this when doing a gravestone search and the info on it linked the two.

Thank you both for the input....Hope you both had a lovely Christmas

Hi Bob,

I have the family of William Cardwell and Margaret Chambers pretty well documented and have even saw extracts from their family bible.  Yes, this family would be a connection but is not the family I am after.  It too as you say has a William John. But if this were  the man I was after it would have made him quite young to have fathered my Great Grandfather . Also older family members recall Mary Ellen(younger sister of William John born 1839) visiting with them. 

It is, as many who are researching their trees find  .... that the same christian names run in so many of the families which  makes for confusing deciphering of info.

While searching for my Cardwell tree I have come across several different spellings of the surname. One of which is Cardle which is how my own Great Aunt (who was Cardwell by birth) pronounced it.

Also in the Griffiths valuation the family were misrecorded as Carroll (Drummiller Townland).
I Have used the 'ask about ireland 'site to pinpoint  their location at this time and have explored the area.

Thanks again Bob for your input.

Hi Lily/Cardwell,


I can post you the info re  your Chambers/Cardwell connection via pm ( ie the personal messaging) but I think you need at least three postings on this site before you can use it- as you have two postings already just reply to this one and that will make the three .  It will be late this evening before I get back online again.   Looking forward to corresponding.
I also have a few email addresses of other descendants of William And Margaret too.
 Talk very soon,
Barbara/Aljepeka

I don't recognise the name Cardwell, but there are plenty of Corbetts in the area still, so it may be worth you altering course and researching via Corbett to break your brick wall

Aughnaskeagh is about 5 mile from Dromore and 3 miles from Dromara, right in the middle...I bought a flax millers cottage in 2004 and on the deeds a Corbett built it, the old water wheel is still there next to the Lagan and Corbetts owned the Flax Mill , the other side of the water at Aughnaskeagh House lives a Corbett (next door neighbours brother)  who was a Corbett, I do  know she was researching the family history as I  helped her get started so if you are interested let me know.... I am on the mainland for a couple of years otherwise it would be some door knocking...hope that gives you something to work on.....
