Mayes family Ancestors in vicinity of Stoneyford
« on: Friday 14 October 11 08:26 BST (UK) »
Hi can anyone  help - as I am unable to travel to PRONI currently .  I am looking for any information on the Mayes family Ancestors - possibly spelt MAZE in early 1800  .

Last known fact was John Mayes of Tumery in Stoneyford or of Islandkelly -  b 1842 and married to Isabella Graham.

I'm also looking for the details of his eldest son William's first marriage and possible children of this marriage - his wife was believed to be institutionalised and he then remarried. William was born 1862 and it is assumed that his first marriage was around 1883  . His second wife was Elizabeth and her maiden name is also unknown but born in Melbourne Australia.
All assistance welcome  :)

Hi, Some details for the marriage of John Mays = Isabella Graham, they were married 1861, Lisburn Presbyterian Church (not sure which one!) John's fathers name was also John Mays, Isabella's father was Thomas Graham.


I can see only one possible marriage for  a William Mayse = Victoria Crieg Hudson 1884, Belfast 1/435 Civil reg.


Regards

Joe

PS This marriage seems to be registered under County Down not Antrim
McCorkell, Clarke, Williams, Craig, Baird, Peoples, MacDonald, Wray and associated families, Counties Donegal and Londonderry, Ireland and America

 :) Thanks V much - unfortunately not the one we are looking for ..

It's possible that Wm Mayes b sept 1862 married very young -is there any record of a marriage between him and any girl  between the dates 1880 to 1994 ?

Are there records of entry into Ireland  around the same period ?

Cheers
