Sharon, Portglenone is a small town on the River Bann; it's also the name of a parish. Map link _http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=54.8733&lon=-6.4732&scale=25000&ic on=x_ (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=54.8733&lon=-6.4732&scale=25000&icon=x) I see no Shorts there in 1861 (Griffith's Valuation) but there is a James Davidson in the townland of Gortgole, parish of Portglenone. Gortgole is on the east bank of the river just north of Portglenone. Any dates? Regards Nevin Taggart
Hi Nevin, My William SHORT married a Margaret DAVIDSON on 31/8/1846 at Portglenone, County Antrim, Ireland they had a son Robert John SHORT who says in Scottish census he was Irish b 1852 (according to census records). Don't know where to start looking is there marriage certs available at this time. Where do I go? This information is available on LDS is there anywhere I can get full certs from this and how do I obtain them. I did not know that Short was an Irish Name. Their son Robert John SHORT was always known as John SHORT. My granny was a SHORT I am really interested. I have no information on any other siblings.
