Ferguson, Newton Limavady, Londonderry

[George_Speer]

I just uncovered some more clues for your Ellen Jane Osborne of Terrydremont who was married to William King Ferguson.

Some back ground:  Rev. Joseph Osborne 1742-1800 is my 5th great granduncle.

In the book: Limavady and the Roe Valley by Rev T.H. Mullin, pub 1983, ISBN# British 941.62/n1H2m,  pages; 33c, 94,95,121(Edwards),125(Osborne)

This book states:  Rev. Joseph Osborne married again late in life [Miss Sproule?] and his gt-grandson is Edward Osborne of Terrydremond.  This location could be a old spelling and today it could Terrydremont.  This Edward Osborn is connected with the Dodds of Enagh, Limavady.

Hi,
   I think that the Robert D. Osborne of Terrydremont was Robert Dickson Osborne. He died on 25 Oct 1867 and Letters of Administration were granted to his wife Hadassah Osborne nee Black.

George,
           Sorry, but I have no information on the lady other than her marriage to Robert Dickson Osborne in the Coleraine area in 1846.

Happy New Year

I will be holidaying in Ireland this year and would like to do some Family History while I am there.  I need help with planning and who better to task than the people who live there.

We will have a car.  We can spend up to four weeks.

Where would you recommend stayng for at least a week so I can include Limavady and surrounding areas and also get into PRONI to do some research?

Can you please advise me on areas to visit in Ireland both South and North and places that are a must to see.   

My husband isn't into Family History but loves golf and is a member of The Royal Canberra Golf Club in Australia.  I am hoping he will play golf while I do a bit of the Genealogy.

Many thanks.

Glenys

Hi,
   Try the Roe Park Resort. It is an hotel with a golf course attached on the outskirts of Limavady. See http://www.roeparkresort.com/

[princess41]

Thank you for the link to Roe Park Resort.  Looks good. We would be interested in a Self Catering cottage also if we are going to be in the area for over a week.  Probably June or July.

Can you do the Giant's Causeway in a day ?  (May seem like a silly question but Australia has huge distances to cover. It takes four and a half hours to fly from East to West in a large jet.)  I would still like recommendations on other places to stay & visit.

Glenys,
          If you want more advice or assistance please contact me using the PM system.
The Giants Causeway is easily accessed in one day from Limavady, it's only about 20 miles.

Regards

[aghadowey]

You can do Giants' Causeway, Bushmills Distillery & as much of the Antrim coast road as you want in 1 day.

Brown Trout, Aghadowey (about 15 miles from Limavady) has self-catering cottages & golf course and is closer to Giants' Causeway.

Derry city well worth visiting for a day- last 20 years has seen great improvements to centre & it was 2013 U.K. City of Culture.
