I'm trying to research a branch of my family that seems to cross a couple of counties.
I have a grandfather, William John Chisholm, who was married in Carnmoney Cof I in 1912 to Margaret S Follis. His father was also William John Chisholm a farmer, presumably also of Carnmoney but I have no definite proof of this.
William John and Margaret went on to live in the Ormeau and Stranmillis areas of Belfast.
However the family history indicated that there was a fairly large family (at least 5 siblings) and they came from Donegal.
There are Donegal families noted in the 1911 census that could be suitable but again I have no proof. (there were also a lot of Chisholm's in the Carnmoney area at one time.
Does anyone have any knowledge of any possible connection between the families?
I have some information from the census and possible internet sources.
Any information would be great.
