Thank you Alma, I have just found out through hours and hours of searching that our Willson may not have come from Armagh at all but from Hertfordshire, it appears that there are conflicting places of birth on marriage certificates and death certificatesHis signature on the marriage certificate has two LL's in it so hopefully he was correct.His wife came from County Tyrone I will look at the website and see if anything there fits for us.

Hello Dianne, I research WILSON/WILLSON as well. Friends of mine visited PRONI a number of years ago and looked at church records for Co. Tyrone and Co. Armagh for me. We have given these records to the Co. Tyrone website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cotyroneireland/index.html You will find quite a number of records of Wilson/Willson from Drumcree and Portadown, Co. Armagh, as well as from Killyman in Co. Tyrone. You will find them in the list of resources under CHURCH RECORDS:- Killyman Baptisms Church of Ireland 1690-1898 Killyman Marriages Church of Ireland 1753-1844 Killyman Burials Church of Ireland 1776-1877 I noticed with some of my own Wilson family, the name was sometimes spelt Willson. These records are directly from the parish registers, so you can see that even the Curates sometimes mis-spelt the names. When you find the parents names of your ancestor this list may be of help to you. Bye for now Alma.........Brisbane. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dianne & Lyndon Wild" <wild13s@bigpond.net.au> To: <nir-armagh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 10:49 PM Subject: Re: [ARMAGH] WILLSON > Thanks Vicki, I also found these, somewhere along the line, the names > got all mixed up,I am sure that my Thomas John Boyd Willson and this > John Byde Willson are one and the same but not sure how the names ended > up being so different because the children are defiantly ours, infact > Agnes is my husbands Great grandmother and William John Thomas is his > great uncle, as the brother and sister married a brother and sister. > thanks again > Dianne

I totally agree with the spelling issue it took me years to find my husbands paternal GGgranparents arrival in Australia due to a transcription error, it turned out to be just a co-incidence that I found them, I often wonder if some of the transcribers did it in their sleep, although in saying that, without their efforts we would not be able to find anyone.

An Ellen HALL was the last HALL in Corlust and she appeared in the Griffiths Valuation as leasing land from John IRWIN. The HALLs had been landowners in Corlust previously but the rest appear to have moved away by then. That's all I have unfortunately.

George & their 8 children all came to Australia during the 1850s. I know we have connections through this same family with Boland/Bowlands in Canada.

Thanks Vicki, I also found these, somewhere along the line, the names got all mixed up,I am sure that my Thomas John Boyd Willson and this John Byde Willson are one and the same but not sure how the names ended up being so different because the children are defiantly ours, infact Agnes is my husbands Great grandmother and William John Thomas is his great uncle, as the brother and sister married a brother and sister. thanks again Dianne Vicki Strickland wrote: > Hi Dianne, hope these help.... > > Digger - Pioneer Index.

Hi Brenda , I already have all that information but unfortunately there are no parents listed on any of the documents.I have the Digger CD"S and their marriage is not on that , I have checked the Dept of Justice website and they are not on that either, so listing on the Co Armagh website was a last resort to see if anyone on the list had the Irish BDM c'ds.Their children's birth certificates list them as being born in Armagh and Tyrone and that is all. The Morrow line is on the Ancestry site and only says that they were married in Armagh. Willson is defiantly spelt with two L's as we have a lot of documents pertaining to this family and all are spelt "Willson" Thanks for the thoughts.These two people are my husbands GGGrandparents. regards Dianne Brenda Pilson wrote: > Hi Diane, > Did they come to Victoria? If so go to a local library and use digger database of bdm and get their deaths.

Their death certificates should give you details of where they married, when, how many children they had, parents names etc how long they lived in Vic. Another avenue is any children born in Vic would have details of ther parents marriage on the birth certificate. When using database it is quite possible that Willson may only be spelt with one "l" so use Wil*son.

Hi Diane, I forgot to mention that civil registration didn't begin in Ireland until 1864 unless they were Church of Ireland & these marriage records start in 1845 . Before this it is church records and you need to know where in a county they lived to check if church records do exist for that time frame. You also need to know their religion.

Did you get the birth certificate for David born in 1860? The one of mine that I got in that year gives a column which asks when and where the parents were married and issue living and deceased. Don't worry about wrong spelling in records as many could not read or write and it was just the way it sounded to the person taking down the details. My Kenny family who could read and write were recorded as Canny/Carney/Kanney/Kenny and I only found them in bdm by listing D*n*l in fathers first name, Ann* for mothers first name, year and b for birth and scrolled through a huge number year by year. It took me 20 years to find out where in Ireland my g-grandparents married and it was on a birth certificate of one of grandfathers siblings here in Melbourne all along.

Their death certificates should give you details of where they married, when, how many children they had, parents names etc how long they lived in Vic. Another avenue is any children born in Vic would have details of ther parents marriage on the birth certificate. When using database it is quite possible that Willson may only be spelt with one "l" so use Wil*son. Its important to get all the information from Australia so you can pinpoint an area in Ireland to search.

We are not sure if they married in Ireland or in Australia where they settled and had their family.The family name of BOYD has been carried down to present day and we have been led to believe it was his mothers maiden name, but this is only hearsay, so no proof on that. We think is father was JOHN WILLSON but again no definite proof. Any help would be greatly appreciated or directions as to where I can go next. thanking in advance Dianne Melbourne |Australia ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NIR-ARMAGH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!7 Mail has just got even bigger and better with unlimited storage on all webmail accounts. http://au.docs.yahoo.com/mail/unlimitedstorage.html

In Oct 2006 we visited Tandragee printed the phone book of Armagh and Upper Bann found two pages of Irwin's. I am certain the John Irwin in Corlust is a relative, just don't what level of relationship. Any comments about his Irwin relatives joining the Army and moving away? Do you know what phone exchange or town Corlust might be served by? What road did your Halls live on? After all not everyone moves away.

Only the 2nd Bn of the 28th saw action according to the regimental documentation, "Cap of Honour" page 97 by David Scott Daniell copyright 1951/1975. Richard was wounded twice more once in the arm at Quatre Bras and the head Waterloo. In 1811 the 2nd Bn joined with the 1st Bn of the 28th. The 28th regiment was in Ireland 9 times from 1702 -1879 If you hear anything I am looking for the 28th a foot Regimental Registers and Chaplains' Returns. A number of 'non-statutory' returns exist. The Regimental Registers record births, baptisms, marriages and burials of soldiers or members of their families and cover the period 1761-1924, is located? I think these books contain family member relationship. By the way, the Chester Beatty library in Dublin has a book titled, "Historical Record of the Twentyeighth Regiment Foot 1848". I saw the book, but needed to make an appointment to read it. The book is a first edition, I could find no other references to the book at the regimental museum in Glouster. Being we were only on a tour of Ireland and could not stop. Please tell me more about your project, If I can help drop me an e-mail Best Regards Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
