Chasing Laughland, Lachlan, Lanchline, Laughlan

[joody_anne]

This is an old topic revived from 2019 (updated) and I wondered if there might be any more information available now.

I have a William Laughlan & Jane Stewart supposedly married c. 1826 in Ireland.   William himself was born in Ireland about 1800.     Any more information available?

Their first son, also William Laughlan (actually he may not be the first son, I don't know of any other kids) William was born in Drumachose, Derry. on 15th April 1827.    This William had a son called Samuel Laughlan who was born 1851, Barony, Lanarkshire.   I understand William (Samuel's mother), who COULD have been Elizabeth .....?    died a few years later, and Samuel was brought up by his father and new wife Jane Grieve, who married 16 Oct 1855 in Govan, Lanark, Scotland.   Williams first wife Elizabeth .....? was also born in Ireland,

Can anyone find the marriage of William Laughland & Jane Stewart please?  And any other children of that marriage?   Plus the Elizabeth in Ireland who married the William b 1827?

I have had Laughlan spelt Laughland, Lachlan - even Lanchline - which makes things a bit difficult.  My own maiden name was Lochlin!

Religion?

[joody_anne]

I'd have to say catholic at the start.  Years later, my grandfather wanted to join a Lodge, and signed his name as William Lochlin ( the way my maiden name was spelt) which to my mind means he became a Protestant.  It has been said they were Nordic before Irish.

My DNA says I have 10% Scandinavian.

Really, I have no proof, but surely in Derry - they would be catholic mostly wouldn't they?

Have you searched the RC registers?

No,what is the site please?

Perhaps check out the history of the Plantation in Northern Ireland.  Many protestants. Significant numbers were Presbyterians.  Not sure how joining a lodge would change the religion though perhaps if it was the Orange Lodge in NI it would be usually protestants joining? Not sure, just speculating. 

Another name to look for is Loughlin.

In the previous thread there were references to children of a William and a Jane Loughlin/lochlin around Limavady
Catherine dau of Wm & Jane Laughlin Parish of Ballykelly Jan'y 24 1814
John to parents William & Jane Loughlin dated to 1820
Robert son of Wm & Jane Lochlin, Broglasco, T. Finlagan Feb'y 5th 1823
then possibly 'your' William born 1827

How certain are you that then parents were married shortly before William's birth in 1826 ie that he was an early child rather than a later one? Have you looked at any of these other possibles ie Catherine, John or Robert?
