Jenny Boyd, Rashu near Ballyclavin

[Peggy13]

Hi Steve,
Just yesterday I learned that my Samuel Carson Boyd born 1780 married Mary Lawson, probably about 1805, not sure whether Oxford, England where their children were born or in Ireland where they were both born. If you recall, Samuel Carson Boyd's mother was Jenny Boyd nee Carson and she had 2 siblings, Samuel Carson born 1738 and Isabella George nee Carson.  Now if I could only find Jenny's husband's name that would be one more step. So I need to find the birth of my S.C. Boyd or his sister married to John Lawson.
If you find anything, let me know.
Thank you
Peggy

Here is another update about the Boyd family.  Originally, I thought that John Lawson must have married my Samuel Carson Boyd's sister in order for John Lawson to be an uncle to Samuel's daughter Margaret who married Thomas Beggs. Now I know that Samuel's wife's maiden name was Lawson so that in itself makes John Lawson Margaret's uncle. John and Mary were siblings and Mary would be from the parish of Kilbride like her brother. John Lawson was a witness at Margaret's wedding as was Thomas Lawson. I don't know the relationship between John and Thomas Lawson.
If Jenny lived in the parish of Rashee, near Ballyclare, what would be the name of the church she probably attended?
Thank you
Peggy

I thought that I had perhaps posted for this before but don't find it. My gggg grandmother Jenny Boyd was living in the Parish of Rashee, near Ballyclare, in 1810. I think she was a widow then as her husband is not mentioned in Jenny's brother Samuel Carson's will. Then I was informed that under the heads of household for Ballyeaston in 1813, there was a Widow Boyd of Rashee. I wondered if it was my Jenny. Yesterday, I was looking at a microfilm from LDS that has much information about that area on it. I found the aforementioned listing for Widow Boyd, age 64 in Rashee, Ballyeaston. That is about perfect to be my Jenny although I don't have her date of birth. Jenny had a son Samuel Carson Boyd in 1780 so guessed she might be born about 1750. Living with Jenny was Susan age 24 (so born abt. 1789), and Isabella age 18. I already suspected there was a daughter Susan who married a McMeekin in 1816. Jenny had a sister Isabella so Jenny could have named her daughter after her sister Isabella.  These daughters are unconfirmed with regard to my Jenny. Can anyone find Jenny's death in Ballyeaston after 1813? I know she is not the Jenny in the old Rashee graveyard who died in 1855, wife of Malcolm Boyd.
Thanks for any help.

I have been reviewing the answers to this post. In one of them, there is a Jane Lawson who married Thomas Bigger. I have found the marriage on Aug 3, 1866. But I would like to know the father of Thomas as I am trying to fit him into the tree. I don't find any Thomas born 1843, as per information on familysearch.org
Thank you

Name of father listed on marriage certificate. Extracted record gives father as Samuel.

Thank you Aghadowey. I used this information and found that Thomas' mother was Agnes Montgomery. But still can't fit him on my tree.

I have now found the marriage of Samuel Bigger and Agnes Montgomery on Aug 19, 1834 in Carnmoney. I know that the record will not show Samuel's father but if anyone out there has knowledge of this couple, would they let me know? My 2 thoughts are either Matthew Bigger and Letitia Bigger (Samuel born June 14, 1801) or William Bigger and Betty Walker (Samuel born abt 1804).Of course, there may be other possibilities for all I know.
Thanks for any help

Well, I was lucky. I googled Samuel Bigger and Agnes Montgomery. Samuel was the son of Matthew Bigger and Letitia Bigger according to a family tree that came up. So now I have tied James Boyd into the tree and also Jane Lawson but still don't know if they are my Boyd and Lawson relatives. Onward.
