Looking for information about Sarah Wallace Alexander
« on: Wednesday 20 February 19 15:50 GMT (UK) »
Hello! I'm looking for information about the family of Sarah Wallace Alexander (born in Loughbrickland in 1768). She was orphaned at a young age and cared for by her Wallace relatives (there is quite a bit of information about her being related to the famous Scotland warrior Col James Wallace (died 1678). Wondering if there are any records or graves of the Alexander or Wallace relatives in County Down?

presumably you know the familysearch.org resources which led me to https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/23376116 this has further information, is a good introduction to Sarah Wallace Alexander;s marriage and children, and has added notes by Carol (Farmer) Cunningham showing Sarah’s genealogical entry as part of a family tree on page 66, with another addition, a shadow sideways bust of Sarah added by Tom Nichols

Aghaderg civil parish is where much Loughbrickland information will be filed under in records rather than Newry

Our unigue Ros Davies  Co Down website http://www.rosdavies.com gives Loughbrickland Aghaderg   20: 11/41   a village 4km SW of Banbridge; brick means Bricui, a character from local legend ; or from breac meaning 'trout' ; click here for a photo and more information   OFN p x; NCT; OGSLL p38; V12 p1 3,4 , 9,10, 11,100 OSM: BIH p 8;DR; PNNI V6 p 14, 54,56

from the 1823-1837 Tithes Applotment Books based upon the index work of the Irish Genealogy Hub’s listing for each parish in Northern Ireland, the originals are in PRONI Belfast the single line entry will disappoint many  but still very useful

Thank you so so much for that additional information. I had seen the familysearch info before, but I am trying to find that link between James Wallace and Sarah Wallace Alexander. The theory is that he is her great great grandfather (at least).
