Give me a few details etc and I'll try ringing for you if you wish. NI people in general know little of their family before about 1900 especially many in belfast. This is because many families moved to the city with the industrial revolution and lost track of their original location. It really depends on the date I'm willing to give it a try.

Hello. I have been stuck for some time while looking for my HART ancestors. This is what I know: Samuel HART (b. abt. 1815 in Ireland, possibly Cavan in Co. Armagh) and Rebecca KELLY (b. abt. 1813) were married in Clare Church (I believe it is/was Presbyterian), Ballyshiel, Co. Armagh, on March 15, 1840 (one family memory has that marriage date as February 2, 1840), and they left soon after to emigrate to Canada. Witnesses to their marriage were William and Lucinda Kelly and William Douglas. In Canada, they built a log home in Bishop's Mills, Ontario, Canada and lived there. They had eight children: Maurice b. Dec 25, 1840 (and perhaps the reason for leaving Ireland???), James b. January 6, 1842, Martha Jane b. 1844, Nancy b. 1848, Anna Bella b. abt. 1853, John b. abt. 1856, and Jane b. unknown and Samuel b. unknown.. I have no information about Samuel HART's family -- and would love to know his parents names and dates, grandparents if possible, and any siblings he had. From somewhere I picked up that Samuel Hart's father was also called Samuel Hart and was born about 1800, but I am not sure that is reliable. Samuel Hart died about 1866 in Bishop's Mills, Ontario, Canada. Rebecca Kelly was the youngest of four girls. Her parents were James Kelly (b. 1787, d. between October 28, 1831 and April 23, 1839, as he was present for the weddings of some of his daughters but not all). James' wife might have been called Jane (don't know for sure, and don't have her maiden name nor her dates). James and poss. Jane were married in 1800. Their children were: Anna Bella Kelly, b. abt. 1800, m. John Caughey January 17, 1820 in Clare Church, Co. Armagh, Jane Kelly b. abt 1800, m. David Jeffrey October 29, 1831, same Clare Church, Mary Kelly b. ?, m. James McHenry April 23, 1839 in the same Clare Church, and the fourth child was Rebecca Kelly. I do not have information about james Kelly's parents or siblings. If you could find anything about the Hart family, I would be most thankful. There were family memories about "Cavan" and I looked for a long time in Co. Cavan, but could find nothing that matched. Then I learned that Samuel Hart married Rebecca Kelly in Clare, Co. Armagh, so I looked for a Cavan in Co. Armagh, and I found many Harts. Is this Cavan a township. I have tried to contact the Clare Church to ask for the marriage registration information, but have had no response. That would be one thing I would love to have, along with any information of Samuel Hart's family. Many thanks for any information you can provide. I have been stuck for years at this point, and would dearly appreciate anything to set me on a path of more searching.
