I made some notes about one William Faulkner 1764. Lived at Gortalowry tld. Cookstown Tyrone. He rented his land from Sir William Stewart of Killymoon and had four daughters and two sons. The sons were Hugh and Samuel. Samuel Faulkner and John Owens had a fine Linen manuacturing Co. and operated it out of Manchester England. Before Samuel's intimate friend John Owen died he wanted to leave his money to Samuel Faulkner. Sam wanted nothing to do with his money due to his own grear fortune and suggested it be left in a trust fund for Manchester University, now, called Owen University. Samuel Faulkner's brother Hugh became an Alderman of Dublin and set up linen shipping conracts around the world. More info will be available soon.

Hello Rose, Prior to sailing for Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), Mary Stuart gave birth to a son in Williamstown on Port Phillip Bay; the registers of St James' Church, Melbourne contain a record of the baptism of a son: STUART, Andrew Godfrey; parents Thomas and Mary, born Williamstown, 1841 Victorian Reg. #12551 If Andrew arrived in the Australian colonies in 1837, I would be looking for a colonial marriage considering Mary's birthdate of 1824. You will find several references to the Stuarts of Lisdhu by doing a site search of the CTI site. Hope this helps, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia From: CARELL < [email protected]> Subject: [CoTyIre] Andrew Thomas Stuart.

The family of the Royal Stuart clan has distinguished lineage' and the family tree ls traced back to 1394.

Hi - trying to find marriage of Andrew Thomas STUART to Mary GILMOUR, believe it to be about 1840's. Andrew Thomas STUART born Nov 1814 Lisdhu, Co Tyrone. He died 1894 in Tasmania, where he had been a superintendent of convicts for many years. Mary died 1906 in Tasmania. Also wanting to find when Andrew came to Australia or possibly straight to Tasmania. Did he come by himself or with his wife Mary or with other family? Thanks, Rose Mary Gilmour was the daughter of John Gilmour. She married Andrew Thomas Stuart, son of Hon. Andrew Godfrey Stewart and Sophia Isabella Lenox-Conyngham, in April 1840.

Hi - I'm new to this site and thought I had put a message on the board, but just in case I've mucked it up, here it is again. I am wanting confirmation of a marriage between Andrew Thomas STUART and Mary GILMOUR (GILMORE??). They came to Port Phillip, Australia in 1840 and are listed as Mr and Mrs Stuart on the passenger list so assume that they were married before this date. Andrew was born in 1814 and Mary about 1824. Also would like to know more about Mary - who were her parents and where did she come from. Andrew was born in Lisdhu House so wonder if Mary would have been from around the same area. Thanks, Rose

I tried a search for the marriage record, but unfortunately BMD registers were not mandated until 1864 in Ireland. Anything prior to this would be a church record. There may be one in existence but it has not been made available online.

Hello Tony, Your great-grandfather Rev. Wm. Thos. Dunn was a prominent Presbyterian minister in Sydney, Australia (St. Enoch's Church in suburban Newtown). His New South Wales death certificate should contain essential information; place of birth, parents' names and occupations and where married and to whom. Do you have this certificate? Australian researchers find that there is a great deal more relevant information to be found here than has survived in Ireland. To be successful in your search and receive assistance on this list it will be necessary to quote parents' names. Dunn is a rather common in Co. Tyrone. As Protestants, it may be possible to locate a record of William's parents' marriage - the registration of Protestant marriages in Ireland commenced in 1845. Looking at the online indexes to New South Wales deaths it looks as if his parents were named John and Margaret. Would this be correct? Trust this helps your search, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

I am trying to track down ancestors of my Great Grandfather Rev Thomas William Dunn, born 10 Feb (or maybe Mar) 1854 in 'Cooktown' (I presume Cookstown) County Tyrone. TW Dunn was Presbyterian, and arrived in New Zealand in 1879. Many thanks, Tony Faithfull

Take one simple fact. Going back 12 generations, between three and four centuries, each of us has several thousand ancestors, even allowing for all those cousin marriages we don’t like to think about. Genealogical DNA testing can tell us about precisely two of them. Perhaps one shared the surname you bear, or is part of a clearly identifiable historic group. Big deal.

We can all claim to be descendants of Attila or the Queen of Sheba, as long as we know in our hearts that it’s about as scientific as a heraldic tea-towel. Unfortunately, however, some real science is being obscured. With a large enough sample from a carefully enough selected group, the study of genetics can reveal indisputable truths about population structure and migration, even in relatively recent times. The best Irish study is the Irish DNA Atlas. It was started in 2011 as a collaboration between the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Genealogical Society of Ireland. The Atlas aims to identify genetic markers that arose in specific areas of Ireland, in order to disentangle the wonderful mish-mash we are. In addition, the project will help population-based health research. The Atlas depends on volunteers coming forward for the tests, but not just any old volunteers.

Dennis, It is in Arboe just over the the boarder from Ballyclog. It is 4 towns east of Brigh and it looks to be just about the smallest town land in the Parish.
