MAGILL MARRIAGE

[ellenmagill]

CAN ANYONE HELP TO FIND INFORMATION ON A MARRIAGE BETWEEN ARTHUR C. MAGILL (PROBABLY C. FOR CRAWFORD) AND AN ISABELLA (SURNAME UNKNOWN) OF RALOO? THEY ARE BURIED IN RALOO CEMETERY. THEIR CHILDREN INCLUDE WILLIAM, AGNES, MATTHEW, JAMES, CRAWFORD(MY GREAT GRANDFATHER), THOMAS AND POSSIBLY AN ISABELLA AND MARY.
 MY GREATGRANDPARENT'S (JOHN) CRAWFORD MAGILL AND ELIZABETH MCCONNELL WERE MARRIED AT RALOO PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN 1874, BEFORE EMIGRATING TO AUSTRALIA. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY HELP. MY GREAT-GRANDPARENT'S WEDDING CERTIFICATE, LISTS ARTHUR AS A FARMER FROM BALLYRICKARD, RALOO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. I AM NOW WONDERING IF THE MARRIAGE WAS CONDUCTED ELSEWHERE, FOR EXAMPLE SCOTLAND, AS THEY WERE CONNECTED WITH THE KILBIRNIE CRAWFORDS. THE NAME OF HIS FATHER, ON MY GREAT GRANDFATHER'S MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE WAS DEFINITELY ARTHUR. THE GRAVE AT RALOO STATES THE PARENT'S OF WILLIAM MAGILL TO BE ARTHUR AND ISABELLA. ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT MAGILL'S OF RALOO WOULD BE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED. ARE DEATH NOTICES REGISTERED ALSO?

I tried BIVRI again and no trace of Arthur Magill marying Isabell's anywhere - sorry

WAS THERE ANY RECORD OF AN ARTHUR MAGILL OF BALLYRICKARD, RALOO MARRYING ANY OTHER PERSON? MAYBE LIKE MY GREAT GRANDFATHER AND MYSELF A SECOND NAME WAS USED BY FAMILY. WERE ALL PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES RECORDED IN THE 1840S IN IRELAND?

[saz1401]

Tried that - only one Arthur marriage on BIVRI but that was to an Ann in Bristol 1901 - sorry

THANKS FOR THIS. THAT ARTHUR MAY BE A CONNECTION,BUT NOT THE CORRECT GENERATION. LOOKING AT THE NAMING PATTERN USED BY THE SCOTTISH/IRISH FAMILIES. IF ARTHUR WAS NOT USED AS A FIRST NAME IT MAY SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE NAMING PATTERN IN THE NEXT GENERATION. ISABELLA, LETITIA AFTER PATERNAL AND MATERNAL GRANDMOTHERS THEN JOHN CRAWFORD FOLLOWED BY WILLIAM ARTHUR, MATTHEW AND THEN EDWARD.
 HAS ANYONE ELSE INFORMATION ON ALTERNATIVE PATTERNS USED? IT CERTAINLY MADE IT EASY TO CHOOSE NAMES IN THE LARGE FAMILIES.

There are the following records which may help, this is amongst some info I was given OLD LARNE AND KILWAUGHTER NON-SUBSCRIBING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Information searched from 1720-1861 for Baptisms, and 1720-1841 for marriages. These are the oldest records that cover the Raloo, Larne and Kilwaughter areas. There are many records missing, especially the period 1790’s to 1821 (these have been noted). The place of residence is not always given.

if they are not at PRONI they could be held by the Presbyterian church

Also on the Raloo Tithes 1769-1771 there is an Arthur Magill
