Marriage James Beggs Robinson, bet. 1901-1911

[Peggy13]

Hi Aghadowey,
Thanks for your help. I was just going to post that I had found Jane and James with their grandfather William Service on the 1911 but you beat me to it.  So thinking maybe Sarah did die young. I am pretty sure Thomas lived until 1957.  I did find a Sarah Robinson death Mar 8, 1968 but it is not on Groni.
That Thomas, widower, doesn't fit as we know there were 3 children living, unless they got it wrong and there was 1 deceased, not 1 living.
Thanks again.

Hi, I was looking for a distant relative and noticed this thread. My Grand Father was James Beggs Robinson. My mother was one of his daughters Margaret. I noticed some time ago a Thomasina" mentioned and i have been trying to place her relationship to my Grand Father. Yes, he married Bella my Grand Mother and they set up home in Douglas Terrace, Burnside.

Hello,
I am happy to hear from you. James was the uncle of Thomasina, who was the daughter of James' brother Thomas, wife Sarah Service. I only have one child Sarah for James Beggs Robinson, due to the 100 yr. restriction on births. Can you tell me when Margaret was born and what other siblings there were?
I do have his wife as Isabella Burns, daughter of William Burns and Mary (do you have a last name for Mary)?
Hoping to hear from you.

Yes, certainly... First born Eileen, then Sarah ( one time landlady of the "Wayside Inn" the local pub )
Then my mother Margaret, born 4th March 1918, them Henry, followed by Willie and lastly May. All sadly passed on.
James and Bella are buried in Rashee Burial Ground at the Five Corners. Bella passed away around 1958 and James a couple of years later.

Thank you so very much. I guess I found the wrong date of death for James Beggs Robinson, as I had a possible date of Mar 27, 1950.
James grandmother Margaret Beggs nee Boyd and my gggrandmother Susannah Boyd were sisters. How far back have you researched the lineage?
I think I will send you a PM.

Yip, looks like a wrong date. I was born in 1952 and remember him well. He was quite thin and wiry and sported a little moustache. He used to enjoy standing in his doorway chatting to passers by while smoking his pipe. Hes mentioned ( as are othermembers of the family in  Florence Mary McDowells book "Other days around me" and the follow up "Roses and Rainbows" The McMeekin family who owned the mill are mentioned in this too. I live near Ballyvoy and Owensland.

This is so exciting. Actually found someone who lives near Ballyvoy and Owensland. I found some entries that say Ournsland which I thought was really Owensland, such as where James Robinson was born (that would be James Beggs Robinson's father). I have that James Beggs Robinson's sister Jane aka Jennie Robinson married Isabella's brother Robert Burns. Robert and Jennie had a son Herbert who died age 2 and a son William who died aft 1962 as he was present at his father's death. There may be others but there is that 100 yr rule.
I will have to get those books.  I wonder if the McMeekin family is the same one who married into the Boyd family.
I live near Vancouver, BC,Canada and am dying to get to Ireland.

Can I jump in here - I would not worry about Thomas having said he had 4 children and one alive. Sometimes they did not really understand the question. My GGM said she had 8 children born and 8 alive - I have birth certificates for ELEVEN and deaths for three before 1911 so the info she gave was wrong - it should have been 11 children and 8 alive.

 I was very interested in this post as I had actually adopted Thomasina into my family and now have to chuck her out  - reason I adopted her was this  - an Agnes Robinson my great grandfather's cousin is on 1911 census at

http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Court_Ward/Wellwyne_Street/150161/

She has a daughter Thomasena Robinson with her aged 3 - and only Thomasina on births was the one in 1907 - you know all about her.- Agnes also had a brother Thomas whom I had not been able to find. Also her father was James who was a CARPENTER. All my lot jelled with info on your lot. When I got the birth for Thomasena and then the Thomas Robinson/ Sarah Service marriage and his dad was James a carpenter I thought the Thomasena with Agnes was her niece not her daughter - Just goes to show there can be massive co-incidences when you have a common name like Robinson.
