OK so I am going on another trace here for the James Herbison mentioned in this thread who died 11 July 1889 and whose will mentions his children Thomas, Martha, Mary, Nancy, Jane, James, Matthew, Eliza and Catherine. We know from 1901 census he was married to Martha and his son Thomas married Rachel and they had children Thomas, Mary, James, Matthew and then William in 1911 has been born. We want to connect our James to Stewart as we believe they may have been brothers. Can we find James and Martha's marriage certificate? This will help us to find out their respective father's and obviously if I had Stewart's marriage certificate it would also show his father.
Would I be able to see the marriage certificates in Coleraine Library for both these men? We reckon Stewart was born in 1830 and James was 1822 so it is possible they were brothers and there were other siblings. What we cannot understand is that James owned 2 farms and Stewart was only a labourer and both lived in the same vicinity - Drumrammer so we assume that James and Stewarts father owned the land which he bequeathed to James being the eldest son. This is all assumption on our part!
