Yes, according to her marriage entry as per above, Mary was the daughter of Thomas WETHERALL whose occupation is given as Pensioner .  This ties in with a Thomas WITHEROW or WEATHERALL born Banagher, Londonderry who served in the 37th Foot Regiment and 4th Royal Battalion.  Presumably he returned home to Banagher after his discharge. His occupation was also given as weaver and plaisterer on other documents.

The Griffiths Valuation has one entry for a Mary WITHEROW living at Irish Green but it is dated 1858.

Noticed some Witherow entries on www.neelb.org.uk/search-results/?q=magherafelt. Check out the spreadsheet at the first entry under Assets.

Hi Ossie,

I don't think this is the family that I am looking for but it might be of use to someone else.

Not sure where you got the above information but it's Clady, Tyanee not Fyanee.

I'm trying to trace a Withrow ancestor who left northern Ireland around 1718-1720.  We have a bible record for a Robert and Jennet Withrow, who were the ancestors of a goodly number of Withrows now living in the USA.  But as far as I know, no one has been able to connect our group with a family in Ireland or the Withrows around Glasgow, Scotland.  Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,
   If you look on the IGI, part of www.familysearch.org, there are several conflicting, submitted entries for what seems to be your Witherow.

Regards

[rwithrow]

Thank you.  I did know about the IGI records.  As far as I can tell, all that information is based on the family bible record as transcribed by my uncle, Kenyon Withrow, back in the 1970s.  We have been unable to get past Robert and Jennet Withrow, however, or determine exactly where they came from in Northern Ireland.  The places mentioned in the IGI are speculation only as far as I can tell.

Hello there rwithrow, welcome to Rootschat.
Whilst I have been researching mainly the Witherows in county Derry and have not yet come across a Robert or Jennet there are many Witherows also in the county of Donegal, Donegal is also in the province of Ulster and I feel that they are also related to my tribe. My lot are related to the Wodrows of Eaglesham near Glasgow. Including Wodrow the historian (see Scotlands people) I don't know if this is much help to you but I'll keep you in mind as my research with the Donegal Witherows and Scottish Wodrows goes on.
