I am not researching this family but found the below information on this site. Thought others looking for their Irish ancestors who left for Australia might find this site helpful. The site is the Australian Dictionary of Biography which has 638 names and biographies of Irish immigrants to Australia. Below is the website and a biography on William Black. http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/scripts/adbp-ent_search.php?paramname=NAME&splacetext=ireland&submit=Go%21&page=1&page=0 BLACK, WILLIAM ROBERT (1859-1930), mine-owner and philanthropist, was born on 3 March 1859 at Kildress, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, son of Robert Black, farmer, and his wife Margaret, née McNeece. He arrived in Queensland on 17 May 1880 in the Silver Light, worked around Maryborough as a farm-labourer, timber-cutter and fencer, then moved to Brisbane and delivered coal with a hand-cart for a merchant named Lindsay. By 1885 he was in business for himself, delivering coal with a horse and dray. He extended his interests to coal-transport on the Brisbane and Bremer rivers, and soon controlled a fleet of six launches and twenty lighters. Continuing good fortune and increasing wealth enabled Black to buy 700 acres (283 ha) of coal-deposits at Bundamba near Ipswich. There he established the Blackheath Colliery and with electric haulage and advanced machinery was soon able to cut 600 tons (tonnes) a day - a State record. When he later bought the Caledonian Colliery at Walloon, he raised its output to 300 tons (tonnes) daily. His purchase of the Abermain Colliery at North Ipswich cost him an additional £8000 for a railway-siding and £40,000 for a new shaft and machinery. Black retired from business in 1920. For some years he had been busily dispersing his fortune. Small, dark, reserved and a devout Presbyterian anxious to maintain the link between religion and education, he gave mainly to church institutions. He saw his wealth as a trust and believed that 'much had been given that by him much might be done'; all gifts were carefully considered and were usually conditional on others agreeing to make donations. In 1917 he helped to establish Fairholme, the Presbyterian girls' school at Toowoomba, and in 1919 Scots College for boys at Warwick. From 1918 he served on the councils of both the Brisbane Boys' College and Somerville House for girls, a united educational venture by the Presbyterian and Methodist churches. He also assisted in founding Emmanuel College, University of Queensland. Black's donations to the Presbyterian Church in 1919-20 enabled it to employ both a director and a kindergarten and primary supervisor of Sunday schools. Further gifts led to establishment of the Blackheath Home for Children at Oxley in 1923, a children's home at Chelmer in 1927 and old people's homes in both suburbs in 1929. Many other smaller donations to individual congregations enabled the Presbyterian Church in Queensland to expand. Black died of coronary thrombosis on 2 October 1930 at St Martin's Hospital, Brisbane. He had never married and, after various bequests to relations in the Channel Islands, the residue of an estate valued for probate at nearly £180,000 was left in trust for the Presbyterian Church in Queensland. His black-marble tombstone, erected by the Church in Toowong cemetery, bears only the red hand of Ulster, a cross and two inscriptions: 'Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord' and 'The righteous showeth mercy and giveth'.

I am looking for records on a Hugh Gourley who lived around Co. Tyrone about 1770's. There were also other Gourley families in Co. Tyrone. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Gloria Rodgers Knight gaknight1@cebridge.net

Much appreciation, Robert, for defining where the Devine name has its roots. I am Scottish and turn to George Black's Book on Scottish Surnames (New York Public Library publication) when I want to find out where a certain name might have begun and where in the Land o' Cakes. Many of the so-called Scottish names have their roots in Ireland, particularly those that begin with Mc, Mac, M'. Also, Black apparently records only those names that became known and published through personal mischief, as local luminaries, or descended from this or that person of note, sort of thing. My maiden surname shows that two fellows were "apprehended," 1566, but Black didn't say for what. Maybe there were many fine upstanding people with the same name but they kept their noses clean and are not on record accordingly. I do know that it is a locative name and means a hard rocky surface. Maisie One cannot say, therefore that one is 100% anything! Today's Topics: 1. Homework for our community web-site (Tyrone) 2. Devine name in Co. Tyrone (Maisie Egger) 3.

Hello Friends I suppose I shouldn't have said 'homework' , I never did do any meself' :-) . But on to the new topics I would love to hear all about as I am working on them for our community web-site . I would like to gather information for the following 2 topics, (and I am always open to other suggestions as well.) #1) Doctors, Phtsicians, & Apocarthy's- within this topic, falls the Poor-houses & the workshouses and, along with the historical dates of plights & plagues, etc. If one of your ancestors was either of these, please do submit a bio of them. Also I am quite sure we have some knowledgable folks on the list who could help out, by writing some interesting data on the work-houses, & poor-houses. There is much available on the topic at the Natl' Archives of Ireland, but alas, I cannot get there. #2) Criminals, Rogues & Villians. Did you by chance have one of these lively ancestors in your family? Again, I am looking for bios to post on our community web-site. Within this topic also fall those who were transported, and for what crime. Did they return to Ireland after their sentence was complete? I (and others) look forward to hearing all the fabulous stories that there are to tell ,even the sad and sorrowful ones. 'Tis a just way to remember them, by telling it. Please remember to keep the politics out of it, and simply recall the historical aspect of it. (speaking of the transportees.) Please do send your info to me at 4theloveoftyrone@gmail.com All the best~ Teena

Thank you. Most interesting. My great grandmother was Margaret BROWN nee SAYERS from the Barran area whose father was probably the Joseph mentioned in the poem. My other great grandparents were Thomas KEYS and Matilda GALBRAITHE from the Stonyfalls area. They married around 1860, but I am unable to confirm their parents nor dates of birth. One possible line is from the marriage of John KEYS to Sarah ARBUCKLE (father Joseph from Rousky) who married on 7.7.1848 at Donaheady.. My direct line is BROWNs of Aughafad. Any information on them, especially prior to 1820, would be welcome. The James BROWN mentioned could be a brother of my ggf, Samuel, who I think was born in 1820. Catherine Bird.

Hi I am looking for confirmation details regarding John Muholland born around 1834 in an area around Dungannon, not too certain on that. He married a Margaret but no further details there and had two children James (1855) and Rose (1857).  I have no real idea on his parents they could have been Moses Mulholland and Letitia Kithcart but I cannot be certain as the ages are a little out.  He immigrated to Australia in 1862.  Any information would be extremely welcomed as it would allow me to place him in the right position on the family tree.

John Callaghan here we first will place,-- The oldest man and oldest race In all the town, but William, his son, Must wed, or out the race will run; Sam Kee, John Martin, John M'Crea, Old Jemmy Clark and John Ramsay, James Johnston; these I think are all, The established natives but James Hall. If to Glencush you wish to stray, There William, James and Bob M'Crea Live near the Dennett's winding strand-- "Midst pleasant groves and fertile land". John and James Lowry, Doorit Hill, Charles and James Quigley, Silverhill; Their next door neighbour, Charles M'Shane. The Bates, Joseph, Joe and John. James Bryce, John and Bob Huey, they, Are living up on Glencush brae; Ephraim M'Morris-- chaste and free, And knowing Jemmy and John M'Gee. John Holmes at Strandabrossney lives, And law at Donemana gives; And now Mountcastle comes in view; Where live old bachelors-- not a few; First Robert and John Makey, old, And William Huston next behold. Sam, John and William Alexander, To wed have ne'er been tempt to wander.-- Could we another town just find, Of right old maids, all well inclined To pity take on these old boys, and join in matrimonial joys. James Lyon's too a bachelor ,And might come in then for a share; Jack Lyons-- none e'er said him ill-- And Andy Scott lives on the hill. By the Old Castle's ruined walls-- Those once gay majestic halls. If Greystone people you would know, There are the Love's-- John and Old Joe-- Jemmy Laughlin and O'Neill, James Poke, M'Morris and John Ball, At Greystone-- Ned Doherty, And at the bridge-- William M'Crea And now of Castlemellon men , We mention Joseph Bogle; then James Todd, James Gibson, and along, The upper road lives Andy Young, Old Jemmy Hylands-- civil still-- And Jemmy Gilmore on the hill, And Robert Gilmore, too, his son, And, near them, Wm. Stevenson. Next, Carrickatain, on the hill face-- Then Robert Patrick first we'll place; Tom Glenn and Tom and Wm Rankin, James Todd and Robert in the thinkin' Could never cordilly agree, On anything whate'er it be. In fair Ardcame, by Dennett's floods-- Young Robert and Old Andy Woods. Widow M'Morris. too we'll mention. And Fawney, next, draws our attention-- James. William. John and James Colhoun-- The oldest stock in all the town-- The M'Intyres for song are named, And old Tom Bond for strength was famed; Old James and William Alexander. And if we now be temp't to wander To William Cochrane's, by the burn, We'll go no further, but return And stop-- fit place-- in old Churchill, With the old Graveyard o'er the hill; There ends life, pride and vanity;And man suffering here is free. Now, though all they whose names I tell, Throughout the several towns are well, Death soon shall sweep then all away, Forever to their kindred clay-- Their works, their cares, another race, shall then possess, and fill their place. All memory of them shall be gone; Their very names will not be known. And cold this heart, and mute this tongue; And if these lines, would live so long. They who may read may think and say-- "We too, like them, must pass away." {c}Ulster Ancestry 2005 best regards Robert www.ulsterancestry.com _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000002ukm/direct/01/

Hello, In response to Tenna's roll call, I'm researching LOVE and IRWIN/IRWINE/IRVINE. My Great Great Grandfather was Maxwell LOVE, born about 1799. He shows on the Tithe Applotment Books for 1828 as living at Dergalt, in the Parish of Camus, Co Tyrone. Maxwell also shows in Griffith Valuation, 1859 at Aghafad, Donaghedy, Tyrone. However, though he has this land but does not appear to be living on it, so he must be living elsewhere. Other reports include: Maxwell LOVE aged 12 buried 4 Mar 1846 at Strabane Parish church, Camus Juxta Mourne. There is also a record on the IGI's for Maxwell Love born 1831. With the rounding of ages which took place at this time, I think these are for the same person and could be a son of (the Senior) Maxwell. Maxwell LOVE's daughter Isabella, (my Great Grandmother) of Aughafad, was married to William Irvine - ?(IRWIN) of Drumboy, Co Donegal, on 25th November 1869, at Donemana Presbyterian Church, Donagheady, Co Tyrone. It looks as if she was baptised at Donemana Presbyterian Registers on 3rd May 1867. I assume from this that she was not baptised earlier and needed to get baptised for her forthcoming wedding (2 years later). Isabella's marriage certificate does not show Maxwell as deceased though I have a death record for him 6 July 1867 aged 68. William & Isabella IRWIN had the following children: James Maxwell, born 8th Dec. 1879 William George, born 1872 Elizabeth, born 1874 Isabella and Sarah Jane (twins) born 1876 Robert born 1882 Hessie born 1885 William IRWIN's father is shown on the marriage certificate as Cornelius IRVINE. I have no information on him except he was shown as being a farmer from Drumbeg-? (Drumboy). I have been unable to locate a Cornelius IRWIN except for one living at Eyre Street, Galway Town in Griffith dated 1855, and others in Limerick and Cork on the IGI's. However, I have no information that any of these are related to me. If anyone has any information, particularly on Maxwell LOVE or Cornelius IRWIN I would be very pleased to hear about it.

Good morning all, Once again, I am desperately trying to find my great grandfather's Irvine family. Family notes indicate James Irvine was born in Co. Fermanagh, but Co. Tyrone is also a possibility. According to his burial lot, James' real name was William James Irvine, born in Ireland 1846, died in Philadelphia in 1922, and had sisters Gertie, Sallie (Sarah?) and Fannie plus a possible brother named Samuel. His first wife's name was Fanny White (also from Northern Ireland?) and she died after giving birth to daughters Sarah (my grandmother), Fanny, Catherine and Margaret. James was a coachman in Philadelphia, so that suggests his family may have been involved with horses in Ireland. Any clues or hints will be gratefully acknowledged!
