McCullough/Nicholson

[dargie]

 I am looking for a possible County Dublin marriage for

Elizabeth McCullough and John Nicholson.   The marriage would have taken place some time before 1876 however I am unable to determine a possible time frame. 
Elizabeth was born approx  1820 in County Down. I have no details about John Nicholson.

Any information greatly appreciated.

In 1876 Elizabeth was working at Court na Farrago Killeney as I think a housekeeper for Mr Exham a court judge.

Do you have any other clues on John and Elizabeth - e.g. dates and places of birth for children ?

Based on year of birth for Elizabeth it's possible that they married before the start of civil records..

Thom's 1877 shows Wm. Exham esq. Q.C.  with an address at Courtnafarraga, Killiney.

Thank you. Unfortunately I do not have a birth place for Elizabeth. Elizabeth and John had no children.
The brother of Elizabeth, my great grandfather, was James McCullough and he came out to Australia in the early 1850's. 
The passenger details have him documented as born in Warrenstown, County Down but there does not appear to be any such place. However I do know he and  possibly Elizabeth were both born in County Down.
James married  Mary Craig and brought Mary and 4 children out to Australia.

The parents of Elizabeth and James were James McCullough and Mary Morrill.

It is possible that Elizabeth and John were married in County Down.
They were protestants.

I am also hoping to ascertain when the property.Court na Farraga passed into the hands of the Smythe family. My great aunt was working for Exham in 1877 but I think he died approx 1881.  I have no clues on what happened to Elizabeth after that or if there is a death notice somewhere for her.

Maybe Warrenpoint Co. Down ?

Wm. Exham is also listed in 1880, but by 1884 the listing for Courtnafarraga has changed to Mrs. Exham.

There's a possible death for William Allen Exham in the January quarter of 1882. The location is Dublin South which doesn't fit the Killiney are, but could be his city residence or office.

The 1894 listing for Courtnafarraga has a John Burke esq., and in  1910 the listing has Captain R.A. Smythe.

Hi

There is a village named Waringstown in Co Down.  Could this be the one you are referring to?

This village is situated in Donaghcloney Parish.

Hi again

Griffiths Valuation of Donaghcloney (c.1863) has listings for four McCulloughs - James, Joseph, Richard and William.

Cheers

Thank you very much for your help LH and Shanew147.
I am quite sure that Warringstown must be the correct place as Warrenstown was the first place mentioned on the ship and  easily confused with Warringstown,
James and Mary Craig were married in Tullylish parish  6th March 1843. Is this still Warringstown?
Both were from Tullylish Parish.
Children have only Ireland as their birthplace except a son who was born Ballynagarick, County Down. Is this still Tullylish?
Can you point me in the right direction to investigate further and maybe find details of James birth siblings etc. I know he had one sister named Elizabeth as mentioned earlier. His parents were James McCullough and Mary Morill
Thank you also for the information on Courtna Farraga which was very useful.
Marj.

I neglected to add that James and Mary craig were marreid in The Church of Ireland.

.....

there seems to be several townlands in Co. Down with the name Ballynagarick -

   Ballynagarrick in Tullylish civil parish, Lurgan PLU
   Ballynagarrick in Saul civil parish, Downpatrick PLU
   Ballynagarrick, in Drumbo civil parish, Lisburn PLU

As far as I can see the CofI records for Tullylish parish go back to about 1813.

The townland of Ballynagarrick is in Tullylish civil parish. Waringstown is in Donaghcloney civil parish which is immediately north of Tullyish.
