Park/Harbison

[terrydoo73]

John Park was born on 14 October 1866 in Balteagh, Londonderry
His parents were William Park and Sophia Love Park
John Park married in the quarter Jan to March 1909 to Mary Jane Harbison
They had a son Stewart Harbinson Park born in the quarter July to September 1909 - he died at the age of 3 and is shown in the 1911 census as 1 1/2 years of age
They had a daughter Sophia who is shown as died in April to June 1917 with an estimated birth year of 1910

I can find no record of Mary Jane and want to find out when she died as I believe John may have married again in 1915 to another Mary (sorry do not know surname)

I also want to find out if John had any more children in the second marriage.

I have been told by relatives that Stewart was burned to death and Sophia was starved to death!!

Hi a John Park married Mary Campbell 18 Mar 1915, Limavady CoI, Johns father was William Park so strong possibility this is same John Park, not seeing any children for this couple

There is the death of a Mary Jane Parke registered Limavady 1912, estimated age 25, the age is 5 or 6 years too young but depending on who registered the death they may have guessed her age, link to death on family search site:

Thank you so much - no much wonder I couldn't find Mary as it was under Marty!!

I know that the only way to find out what they died from is by obtaining death certificates but the cost soon adds up - is there a cheaper option??

Hadn't realised that the name was Marty! Still tried finding a suitable Martin or marty  without success, so it may well be a mis-transcription  and it is indeed Mary, still I wouldn't be ordering a death cert unless the name was confirmed.

 Don't believe there is an alternative to ordering the Cert though if you want all the information, some PPV sites offer limited information regarding present at death and date of registration for some death records,  but they're far from comprehensive.

Order the photocopy version...much cheaper

I have managed to obtain a copy of the marriage certifcate for Stewart Harbinson and Nancy Mullan who were married on 13 November 1876 in Balteagh Church.  Stewart's father was William Harbinson and his profession son of a farmer!  Nancy used a mark to write her name and in the original marriage certificate it is spelled Mullen but then Mullan beside her mark.  The address given for Stewart is Ballycrum and for Nancy Ballinakary.  I am having difficulty in reading the certificate so any help in identifying details would be helpful.  I cannot make out Stewart's profession - it starts He???  Nancy's father was Thomas Mullan a shoemaker.

Now I want to trace who William was and obviously for his wife's name and possibly any siblings - I am still trying to make a connection between another Harbinson family mentioned in previous thread.

Hi,
   Griffiths valuation (1858) shows a William Harbison in Ballycrum. He held a herd's house and about 60 acres of land. See http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

Stewart's profession... a transcribed record suggests herd?
