Alma, my apologies if we have corresponded before, and I've forgotten your name. I would be interested in comparing notes with you.

Hello Eileen, Yes, we have corresponded before - quite a number of years ago. At the time I hadn't done a great deal on the Wilson's as I had nothing concrete. My friends who looked at the records for me were looking for Wilsons at Drumcree, but also noted other Wilsons whilst looking for my Willis family in Killyman, Tyrone. My husband's g.g.grandparents were Thomas Wilson and Anne Binks. As you can see from the list their children were:- Mary Jane b.1826; Elizabeth Anne b.1828; Sarah b.1831; Matilda b.1835 and Thomas b.1837. There could have been other children as well, but I do not have Thomas & Anne's wedding date. Mary Jane Wilson married John Love in 1845 at Drumcree. Their daughter Elizabeth Love married Robert Willis in 1889 at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. This is my husband's direct line.

Eileen, I've been looking at my maps and see that Derryall is in the parish of Tartaraghan and borders the parish of Killyman in Armagh (Killyman crosses county borders, but the C of I church is in Killyman, Tyrone. This would probably have been the church closest to your Wilson family.
