Mary Ann Baillie

[Gregm49]

Mary Ann Baillie, born 1840 in Newry, emigrated to Australia in 1860 arriving Perth WA. Her father was Hugh Baillie. This is all the information that I have on Mary prior to her arrival in Australia. According to family history Mary may have had some involvement with the Orange movement. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Greg,
       Unfortunately 1840 is 24 years before official registration of births started in Ireland. In this case you will have to depend on church records but the term Newry could easily apply to the surrounding district as well as the town of Newry. Thus we need a more accurate location.

Thankyou for your reply. On Mary's death certificate it states that her place of birth was Newry and that her father "Hugh Baillie" was a farmer. I have found information that her mothers name was "Mary" possibly "Aiken" . My Mary is my Great Grandmother. Its always interesting when trying to gather information on your decendants.
Regards

I have had a good look for a Hugh Bailie in Co. Armagh, and have found only one, Hugh Bailie farming in the Townland of Tullyvallen, Parish of Newtownhamilton, about 10 miles from Newry town.  This was in 1864.  In the 1901 census for Tullyvallen, we have Mary (91!)

living with her married daughter and John (possible son?) again, farming

There is also a William (75)

Do you think this might be Mary Ann's family?
Might be worth further investigation.

Greg,  On the
http://www.rootsireland.ie/

site there is a baptism record for a Mary Bailee (note the spelling!), father Hugh, in Armagh in 1840.  Can't guarantee that she might be yours, but I think it is worth a look.  You will have to sign up to the site and buy a few tokens.

Rosemary Joan, thankyou for your reply. The information that you said was from Rootsireland sounds promising.I had believed that my Mary came from Armagh.  Thankyou for your help.
