Gordon Is there any possibility that your McCutcheon's are related to the John McCutcheon & Mary McFarland that I wrote about???? Do you have any documentation??? Ken Hartley

Expanding my search area - looking for any connections/leads/clues/info for the following people...... My Great Great Grandparents, John McCutcheon and Mary McFarland were both born circa 1821 - possibly Tyrone County but info sketchy. John and Mary may have married before registration began in 1845. We know of only 2 sons - Samuel DOB unknown and William (possibly William "J") born circa 1865/1870, again supposedly in Tyrone somewhere (have 3 different birth dates but none have turned up a registration in Tyrone). William & Samuel came to Canada in 1886 or 1887. Samuel is believed to have been older than William; he headed west and disappeared. William settled in Paris, Ontario, Canada. William returned to Tyrone in 1894 and brought his mother to Canada where she died in 1899, age 78. It is not known where or when John McCutcheon died but believe he died in Ireland as he is not buried in cemetery with other family members here in Canada. It may be possible that these McCutcheon's started out somewhere else in N. Ireland but did end up in Tyrone mid 1800's. There is also some speculation on our part that William may not have been the son of John & Mary due to the fact that she would have been in her late 40's/early 50's at the time of his supposed birth - possibly he was the son of an unwed daughter but raised by John & Mary???? Would love to hear from anyone having any knowledge or connections to any of the people mentioned above - especially if you can solve the mystery of the origins of John McCutcheon and Mary McFarland. THANKS Ken Hartley Paris, Ontario, Canada

Irish Weekly and Ulster Examiner May 1 1915: Ulster men dead abroad: Honoured Natives of County Down and County Antrim: Henry Mackin, aged 75, died at his home, 601 Merchant Street, North Side, Pittsburgh, Pa., on the 9th inst. He had been only three days ill with pneumonia. His remains were removed to St Peter’s Church, North Side (formerly Allegheny) on the 12th inst., where a Solemn High Mass of Requiem was offered at 9 a.m. His remains were afterwards interred in Calvary Cemetery. The late Mr. Mackin was born in the Parish of Dromore, Co. Down, 75 years ago. When he was a young man in his teens he emigrated to the United States, and settled in Pittsburgh. At that time the great Cracker and Candy Factory owned by the late Edward and Charles Maginn, of Pittsburgh, and natives of Dromore, Co Down. had a monopoly of the cracker and candy business west of the Allegheny Mountains. It was the first steam cracker factory erected west of the Allegheny Mountains and it is owned today by Mr. Daniel Maginn, a native of Dromore. His brothers died a few years ago. The late Mr. Mackin, when he s! ettled in Pittsburgh, entered the employ of the Maginns, and by his energy, knowledge, ability, and sterling qualities, he soon won both their esteem and confidence. He married a niece of the Maginns, Miss Annie Magee eldest daughter of the late James Magee, of Ballaney, Dromore. Shortly after his marriage he started in business on his own account as a baker and confectioner on Federal Street, Allegheny (now called North Side, as Allegheny has been annexed by the great City of Pittsburgh). He was a staunch Democrat, and a most patriotic Irishman. He was a devoted member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church, the St. Vincent De Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, the Catholic Mutual Benevolent Association, and was director and vice-president of the Calvary Cemetery at the time of his death. He is survived by his devoted wife and his brother Michael Mackin, Rev. John Magee, C.C., of the Diocese of Dromore, is a nephew of the deceased. W.J.Gribbon, Philadelphia. At a regular meeting of the Antrim Men’s Society of Philadelphia, Pa., held on Sunday, February 28, 1915, resolutions were unanimously adopted sincerely deploring the death of the esteemed secretary, William .J. Gribbon, and electing his son, William. Edmond Gribbon, an honourable member of the society for life, as a monument to the memory of his father. Other resolutions expressed deep sympathy with the widow and family of the deceased, and directed that a report of the proceedings be sent to the IRISH WEEKLYand ULSTER EXAMINER. --------------------------------- Yahoo!

1851 Census Index Liverpool—Irish born on my web site at the link below. Alternatively type Jean McCarthy into the Google search engine for a direct link. I have added over 1600 more records to the Index for the 1851 Census for Liverpool Irish born people. This is rather a large project which will take time to complete. Especially as particular attention is being paid to accuracy. So far the full Introduction of the Index, explanatory notes and abbreviations, Chapman Codes as well as all the surnames beginning with A has been transcribed. Since then I have been working non-stop on transcribing the surnames beginning with B. There are a great number of them so it is taking longer to complete this section than I had anticipated. However, I have now posted all the surnames beginning with B that I have transcribed so far. (BACINNIGAN to BRAISON) I will endeavour to transcribe the entire Index as soon as possible. I hope this helps at least some of you with your research. Kind Regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore. Staffordshire, England.

Hello, I'm researching the McFall (McFaul) family, father Robert Mcfall, mother Jane McLane (McLain or McLean), children John, Patrick, Mary (m. Burris, m. Welch), Ellen (m.Gillen, m. Fraser), Robert, all born between 1825 & 1845 in County Antrim, Ireland. The family immigrated around 1850 to Pennsylania, USA, and later to Ontario, CAN. All except Ellen died in Ontario; Ellen died in Pennsylvania. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone? Elizabeth Kelly

Where did they live in Pennsylvania, maybe I can help in that area.

I have a Hugh Black. Who was born in Ballycastle in Antrim 17 Oct 1821 to my knowledge. His father was James Black, a farmer. Mother unknown, but would love to know. He received his Masters Certificate in 1848 and was then married that same year to Alice Wilson in Gateshead, Durham. They then had two children in the Channel Islands. At St Heliers I believe. The first child was a girl. The second was James Robert Black, born 27 Dec 1851. After his father had drowned at sea. He was coming back from Canada I believe and was caught in a squall in the Channel. Unfortunately he signed on, on a different ship and it could have been one of three ships in the same storm that were wrecked I believe there could be a definite connection between Hugh Black and Archibald Black who was also a Master Mariner and left Carey, Cuylfeightrim, near Ballycastle to live in St Heliers. Can someone please help me? I await your help. Desperately Thank you. Jeff Davis. Melbourne, Australia Email me at jeffdavis3333@yahoo.com __________________________________ Yahoo!

Dear Lyn, Thank you for your messagel. I am sorry but I do not understand what it is that I can do to help you. What does it mean by the film being restricted? I had a look at the LDS web site to see if I could find an explanation. When I input the number you gave 1696605 it came up as the memoirs of Rev. William Lodge. Are you sure you have got the right number? Perhaps if you sent a message to the Antrim list someone might be able to advise. I am very sorry but I can’t see an answer to your problem at the moment. Kind regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanmccarthy36/

Sorry Belfast Stewart. Lynn

Hi Jean, I have been watching this email group and was wondering if you could help me. My family was in Belfast and Ballymoney. I tried to order The Parish of Shankill thru the family History Library, British film 1696605 item 8, and the film has been restricted. Could you possibly tell me where it might find the information? Thank you for your help and great site, Lynn Ballymoney Richard/Richards and Belfast Belfast.

Church Photos on my web site at the link below. Alternatively type Jean McCarthy into the Google search engine for a direct link. I have added some more church photos onto my website. Firstly, I was kindly given permission by the 2nd Presbyterian Church in Keady to post a photograph of their church on my web site. I am very grateful to them for this. I have also put their own web site URL under the church photo. Gordon in the U.S.A. has very kindly sent me some wonderful photographs that he has taken of some old early 1700's churches and cemeteries with some very famous Ulster Scots names. I thought they were of particular interest to anyone interested in their immigrant Ulster ancestors. There is detailed information about the photos on the website. Thank you so very much indeed Gordon for sharing these lovely and interesting photographs with us all. Kind Regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore. Staffordshire, England.

Hello Paula, Thank you for your message and your kind remarks about my efforts. Yes I will certainly update everyone as I move along the alphabet. I must point out to you that it not the census that I am transcribing it is only the Index to the census. However, the index does give some very good information so that people can decide if it is worth ordering the full census LDS film. Good luck with your research. Kind Regards.

Thanks for the information Bob. I seems like many of the "Antrim" Irish were in Liverpool. They either worked until they had the money for passage and I sure many of them stayed there. I would like to know where in Antrim my James Knight came from. I only have the name "Antrim" from his Naturalization papers. I would also be curious to know if the Mary that traveled with him was his sister. At this point, I don't have any siblings for my James Knight. Good luck in your research Bob, I hope you find all the information you need on your ancestors... Paula

G'day All , Hope these few words find things going well. Could anyone be so kind as to give an opinion. Any help is just great. My first 2 McKenzie ancestors per above Subj. most likely resided in Ulster, probably Antrim/Derry area (Ballymoney). Ship passenger info* is as follows : Name Year Departure Arrival Ship Origin/Residence John 1880 1) Queenstown, New York, Algeria Ireland (Origin) Cork, Ire 2) Liverpool, Eng USA Eliz. 1895 1) Not Indicated Boston, Gallia Ballymoney, Ire 2) Liverpool, Eng MA, USA (Residence) What is the likely way they traveled (boat, buggy etc.) from Ulster to all the way south to Queenstown in those days ? Is it more likely that they were from one of the Ballymomey's in Cork or Wexford etc.and is why they sailed from Queenstown ? Is another port from Eng more likely than Liverpool if they resided in Ulster ? Trying to save ($300 each search), I need help deciding whether I hire a prof. to search Prost. & Cath. church records 1st for Ballymoney in Antrim or Cork/Wexford ? Indicating any info to me via email would be great. If there is no info, perhaps one could indicate other sources that might have info or related data. Your kindness, consideration, time and effort//help is greatly appreciated. Good luck and all the best with your own genealogy family search. TIA with kind regards , Grandpa Walt-Irish McKenzie, Sr. Central NJ Shore - Boston Area, MA - USAmerica 1973-Present 1938-1972 ---------------------------------------- * Other supporting data . . . US records (census, b., m., d., obits, cemetery, church, registers, land, probate, naturalization etc.) only list Ireland as pob, residence etc. Only ship passenger records for the 2 emigrating ancestors indicate more specific place names that yields some leads e.g. Ballymoney, Ire residence and Queenstown, Ire port of departure. Daniel McKenzie b.c. 1815 Ire & wife Margaret Miller b. Ire (m. c. 1840 or 46) had 2 known children Elizabeth b.c. June 1841or47 Ire and John b.c. Aug. 1848 Ire both from 1900 US census. There are a dozen Ballymoney's in Ire and based on all I know, especially ethnicity (Prost.-Presbyt.) & religion (Catholic-2 ancestors upon arriving US), its highly likely to be either Ballymoney, Antrim (& adjacent Derry) or Ballymoney, Cork or Wexford (or Munster), probably Cork. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
