Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.

Hey folks… in an idle moment I decided to look for the birth/place of Benjamin White WAIDE, which then led me to wonder more about his family and so on… and here you all are providing information for another New Zealander.

Daniel & Elizabeth's eldest grandson, born here in NZ, was my dearly beloved gt. uncle by marriage. I also called his siblings the courtesy title of Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Dan, so the names lived on, although only Lizzie had children, all daughters, so that branch of the WAIDE name has died out.

Anyway, this is just a general thank you for the records I'll use, and I'd like to hear directly from Kathy, so get in touch with me please. 

Along with a small fortune from my gt. Uncle I also inherited a beautiful oil on wood painting, of a youngish woman that no~one in my family ever recalls seeing before it was found, wrapped in brown paper and string, on a wardrobe shelf.  I've had it dated to mid~18th century, and I wonder if you might recognise it, if you have other family memorabilia.

ah no, Daniel's father Daniel died on 5 October 1884, and it's his Will that's online.  Daniel jnr died intestate, and letters of administration were granted to Elizabeth (as per her Will).

There is a Memorial Inscription (online) detailing the two Daniels and other family members, with jnr's death at age 34 on 23 Jul 1876, two years before Elizabeth remarried.

Hi,
   Daniel WAIDE married Eliza White in Glenarm Presbyterian Church, Larne District on 26 Aug 1867. Daniel died on 5 Oct 1874 and a will is available in PRONI.

Hi Jools,

Welcome to RootsChat I am very sorry but the original poster Kathy email address is no longer working 

It is really good to find out that the research already done by everyone will be useful to your research into your Waide family

Regards

Thanks Sarah…
~ I noticed the comment about her email address, but thought she might come back in here one day, and find me!  I could probably chase her down if I felt so inclined, but I've put the WAIDES to bed for now, and gone back to some of my more important brick walls!

LOL

Have a great day

Hi Jools
I was reading what you had to say about Benjamin White Waide/Wade. You are quite correct in the details you have found out but I see you have lost touch with the person you were connected to about this.
I am the mother of 3 Maxwell Boys who are direct descendants of this Maxwell Family and have been researching this Benjamin whose mother Eliza Jane married Alexander Maxwell, in turn Eliza Jane Died not very old only 7 days after her youngest child Samuel White Maxwell was born. This Samuel is my husbands Great Grandfather. Recently on Ancestry.com. I along with a Maxwell cousin have been uploading photos and names of this family to the tree. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who knows can help or is related to either the Maxwell or White sides and the family who emigrated from Ireland to N.Z after Daniels mother Eliza Jane Died.
