    1. [Derry] Re: NIR-DERRY-D Digest V03 #97
    2. Just returned from a month in France and reading old E mails - one from Alison Causton about her serach for a PRoNI guide to landed estates. I am interested to know about the Londonderry estates in IRL as I have some HARPERs who arrived in the NE England c 1850 from IRL - they came, I would think to work at the Londonderry coal mines so it is a reasonable supposition that they came from Londonderry estates in IRL , possibly a mining area. I have no idea where coal mines were to be found in N IRL particularly any owned by the Londonderrys - so would be very grateful if anyone you can tell me anything useful ...............I do find Irish genealogy v difficult - the records where they exist appear to be very closely guarded and mostly only accessible via professional genealogists or personal visit! So - where were the coal mines to be found and which ones were owned by the Londonderrys? Which townships were closest to these mines - or am I in the completely wrong county? Help please !!!!!!!!!!!!! Ann Lavery

    3. Hello Barb. Sadly, in the few BEARE records which I have obtained, I do not have any record of a Betty BEAR(E) or of any other BEARE marrying a STEWART. However, as Kilrea and Tamlaght O'Crilly are both only a few miles from Culnady; I expect that there will be a connection. All the more so as "Betty" is usually an abbreviation for "Elizabeth" and every BEARE generation which I have, has an "Elizabeth" or a "Lizzie" in it. There was also another BEARE family in the area, at Knockloughrim near Castle Dawson; (and one of my Culnady BEARE females married into that BEARE family); so it is also possible that your Betty BEAR could be from that Castledawson line. Again, I suspect that both BEARE families were related -- but I just need a few more lifetimes to be able to do the research on it -- given that I have hardly ever met anyone else who is interested in this family name. My Culnady BEAREs also spawned a well-known Presbyterian Minister: the Reverend Thomas BEARE, who ended up at Ballymoney in County Antrim, where he left quite a few descendants; but most of them seem to have stayed near that area, or went to Belfast. Thanks for the note, if you should ever find more info., I should love to have it please. Likewise, if you desire further details from me on my BEAREs, I am happy to share what I have. On a slightly different note: one of my BEARE ancestresses was born a BOYLE; and her grandparents are given as David BOYLE (of Dungiven, co Derry, I believe), who married a "Miss STEWART". Sadly again, no other details are given, so that I do not even know Miss STEWART's first name! Nor do I have any dates for this -- but I am guessing that it might have been around the early to mid 1700s. One day I'll get to inspect surviving Dungiven parish registers and hope to find some of these events with more information including dates -- another one for the "to do" file! Happy Hunting! ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barb" <[email protected]> > I saw that you mentioned the name Beare.

His name was John Stewart married Margaret Mc Neill also Barbara Mc Neill married Archie Campbell.(supposed to be cousins) Archie's parents were James Campbell and Jane Irving (Irwin) any relation?

I have a great deal of info on his naval service from the PRO and his medical credentials from the Royal College of Surgeons, however, not his place of birth, DOB and parentage. From this data I believe he was born c. 1792/3 and he received his MRCS in 1813. He married my 3 x gt grandmother, Elizabeth FUZZEY, in Bromley, Kent England in 1822 and they had four children at least - Elizabeth, Edwin James (my 2 x gt grandfather), Alfred & James Fuzzey ELLIS. James spent prolonged periods on leave in Londonderry - 4 months in 1829 and 12 months from May 1830 to May 1831. Because James spent so much time on leave in "Londonderry" I am presuming that his family were there or somewhere in Northern Ireland. James was the Surgeon Superintendent on five convict ships to Australia in the 1820s/1830s and, on one of these journeys he met one of the daughters of the Captain of the Guard, Eli! > za Ann(e) MCDONALD, and married her in Sydney in 1835 (bigamous marriage). (This captain of the guard, George MCDONALD had spent time, on duty, in Ireland also). James and Eliza Ann(e) moved to Yass New South Wales where he was the GP, magistrate and coroner. They returned to London in the late 1850s and he died there in 1863.The house he is supposed to have built in Yass was called "Crona" which might lead me to an association with Donegal (Templecrone) but, again, this could be just another "red herring" (one of many !! :-)). > > A fellow ELLIS researcher has told me that James may be the second son of Henry (Deputy Lord Lieutenant of the County of Derry) and his wife, Ann (nee MURRAY).

I am doing my Family Research on my greatgrandfather ALEXANDER HASLETT he was a member of Loyal Orange Lodge No 25 in Portadown, could you please give me any information about him please. He left Ireland 1876 to emigrate to New Zealand to reside with his family so it would be prior to that year. Thank you very much .........looking forward to hearing from you Cheryl Haslett I will ask members of Orange lodge LOL 25 if they can go back in their minute books to find any details concerning your Great Grandfather Alexander Haslett. Regards Webmaster for Portadown District LOL No 1 I hope that you get some results Leigh, all I know is that my great-grandfather was in some kind of disgrace and we don't know if it was to do with the Orange Order, because he came out on a Shipping Passenger List as a Labourer when he was a Banker and never worked when he came to this country and was well educatred.

    2. Barb
    3. Ray, I saw that you mentioned the name Beare. My grandfather's tree mentions that a Betty Bear was married to one of our Stewarts, James. I have only been able to verify that James Stewart was married to a Betty Fulton in the 1st Kilrea Presbyterian Church records. Do you have any Stewart connections? They were from Killymuck, Tamlaght O'Crilly Parish, Derry. Thanks. Barb Ray <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Diane.

    1. Re: [Derry] ELLIS - LONDONDERRY ?
    2. Wallbank
    3. Hi Lee, It's lovely to hear from you. I had heard of this particular Donegal family but, please tell me, just who is Dixie ELLIS - is he a brother of Phillip and Arthur ? So many ELLIS families and my Dr James could fit in anywhere ! There seem to have been a lot of ELLIS men from Ireland who were naval surgeons - I have the will of a Samuel ELLIS, from Augher Clogher, County Monaghan/Tyrone dated 1802, whose father and brother were both called Edward. As my James called his eldest son, my 2 x gt grandfather "Edwin" (and it was interchangeable with the name "Edward" then), that might also lead me in that direction. I have to tell you a story which I hope won't sound daft. I've been to Ireland twice - once in 1978 when I stayed in Schull, Cork and again in 1998 with my husband and young daughter. When preparing to take the second trip, I rushed around and collected brochures and pamphlets on the various places we were going to visit. I was reading one of these pamphlets and was (very) taken aback to see a woman who was my double in a tourism ad for County Monaghan ! She was making lace at an historical re-enactment village. I had never had the experience of seeing someone who looked just like me before (and I haven't since !). I am quite Irish looking - red hair, grey eyes, pale skin so I suppose it shouldn't have come as a surprise but it's a very strange sensation nonetheless. We never did visit that part of Ireland unfortunately. Now I'm wondering ........................ I am now trying to check out the house "Crona" in Yass to see if he definitely did build it - if that's true then I imagine he more than likely comes from Donegal. I'm also chasing up the Orange Lodge angle as kindly suggested by Judith and Cheryl on the list. This is a very helpful list ! Many thanks.
