Woodburn, Coleraine

[aghadowey]

I've split these 'Woodburn' posts from the Maguire (Fermanagh) thread and moved to Derry/Londonderry board.

Am wondering if Robert (I found my notes on him), George and Janet were triplets going by the likely birthdates?
From an American source, Robert Riley (possibly should have been Wiley) Woodburn born 3 June 1861.
From Coleraine Chronicle, George died 11 Aug.1862 aged 1 yr. 3 months which is cMay 1861.
Another obituary in Coleraine Chronicle says Janet died 18 Apr.1862 aged 11 months (so cMay 1861).

Possibly more than the 10 children I listed earlier-
- Robert Riley (3 June 1861)- to U.S.
- George M. Wood (cJune 1861 Church St.?)- died young
- Janet Brown (cJune 1861 Church St.?)- died young
- Barbara Wylie (2 Jan.1863)
- Isabella Brown (23 Nov.1864 North Brook St.)
- Matthew Wood (25 Mar.1866 North Brook St.) to U.S.
- Agnes Wilson (30 Aug.1867 North Brook St.)
- Julia (26 Apr.1869 Railway Place)
- William Brown (15 Feb.1871 Railway Place?)
- Jannette (31 May 1872 Railway Place)
- Alexander (30 May 1873 Railway Place)
- Mary Leslie (31 Dec.1881 Railway Place)- this is possibly the May W. Woodburn in 1901 census mentioned earlier

I appreciate your extensive efforts.

Maggie Shannon and James Brown were witnesses at Matthew & Bella's wedding.

[cwfqueen]

Do you know if James Brown is Robert James Brown, her brother?

[rankinaki]

Sorry, I don't know.

Matthew Wood Woodburn & Bella Brown's Marriage record states that William Brown, father of Bella Brown, was a farmer.

Elizabeth Woodburn, his sister, married John Brown, son of William,  a muslin agent.

Would anyone have information about Ellin Woodburn,daughter of Matthew Woodburn & Isabella Dripps, baptised 1st Garvagh Pres. Church. 1841 or her sister, Isabella, baptised 1828? 

Thanks.

I have Isabella Brown's father William as muslin agent.

Other than baptisms in 1st Garvagh I haven't any records for the two girls. My notes say Ellen was baptised 12 Jan.1840 (will have to re-check year later) and Isabella 20 Nov.1828.

[rankinaki]

Thanks for looking.
I have 12 Jan 1841 for Ellin.
I saw a marriage - Isabella Woodburn & William Linton, 1848, but dismissed it  as Isabella would only have been 15 or 16  if she was born before January. Would you consider it unlikely?
I 'll check the Bella Brown marriage. Could  the Woodburn brother & sister have married siblings? The surname Shannon appears on both records.
How very interesting!
Thanks again!
