Samuel G. McConnell, B.A.; published by the Presbyterian Historical Society, Church House, Belfast). The only copies I know of are held at the PRONI (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland) and at the Presbyterian Historical Society, both in Belfast. ajk

Mike, My ancestor, Rev. Hugh CONN b.1685 Magilligan, Co. Derry, was a 1707 graduate of Glasgow U. His records say he was a Scot. A cousin in Magilligan says the family came from Ayrshire, SCT to Co. Derry. Rev. Hugh came to America about 1713. I assume he was then living in England because that is where the minister lived that sent CONN to America. What we have all wondered is did Rev. Conn leave Glasgow after graduation and have a church in England or did his graduate and go back to Magilligan or other area in (No.) Ireland? Surely he preached from 1707-1713 when coming to America. =Do you know how I might find him in a Co. Derry(?) church? There are no Presbyterian records in Magilligan pre 1747. I assume it was Church of Ireland. Jean

Hi I am a new lister and not familiar with Irish lists. I am researching my ggrandfather James BELL who I was told was born 24 June 1862 in County Derry. He apparently emigrated to New Zealand in 1878 aboard the ship “Canterbury” landing at Port Chalmers. I have not been able to find a passenger list for this as yet. Any help with confirmation of any of this would be appreciated as I do not know where to start with Irish research. Regards Janice Searle -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Ray, You (and others) may find this web site useful in your research. http://www.pensear.org/main.php It's a sort of backhanded way of getting information from the 1841 and 1851 census returns, which no longer exist. If your ancestor was still living, and old enough by the time the Old Age Pension Act was introduced in 1908, he or she may have applied for a pension. The only way to confirm a person's age at that time was for the pension office to do a lookup in the 1841 or 1851 census, which still existed in 1908. This site allows a quick lookup of names, and you might find an ancestor if you're lucky. The cost to receive the information, which might list all household members, is only 1 pound, and you get it quickly. I looked briefly and saw many HASSONs in Londonderry, including a couple of Matildas.

Hello, I am new to this list. My great-grandmother, Martha KENNEDY was born in Maghera Derry in about 1862. Her parents were William KENNEDY and Margrette DOWNEY. William Kennedy was a tailor. Martha KENNEDY emigrated, arriving in Maryborough, Queensland, Australia aboard the 'Duke of Athole' on 3rd May, 1881, after which she found work as a domestic servant on the Irrawarra cane plantation outside Maryborough. She married John Wilfred BAKER from Essex in October, 1881. Are there any other listers researching the Kennedy and/or Downey families? Can anyone tell me how to access online records for Maghera. Are Irish census records online? Many thanks for any help. Ally McRae, Bribie Island, Australia

Ally: You might check for McEldowney in Maghera, County Derry, Ireland. Some of my McEldowney ancestors were later known as Downey.

Dave >From what I have learnt that in 1770-1772, the Flax crop failed in Northern Ireland - assume this would have included the Coleraine area - so that maybe a period to look at. What US records have you for the family? Which County did you find him in in 1790 Census? If you list those sources that may help others to help you. In the 1718 Migration for example one of the five ships left from Coleraine but I do not know for how long it was used as a port for taking people to America.

I don't think that any of this is accurate. In Quebec, Protestants could choose to pay Protestant School Taxes and Catholics supported the public schools which were Catholic in Quebec. Income tax did not come in until World War 1 and all had to pay property taxes and excise taxes etc. This would not have been a cause of a Protestant exodus. A great many Protestants stayed in Quebec after settling there. One of the early 19th century phenomena that did cause a lot of movement was the cholera epidemics of the 1830's. Another big factor was economic depression in the 1850's. I would love to see this article if you can dig it up. It certainly does not seem to have any basis in fact--although I could be wrong.

Unfortunately I cannot find the article. It was supplied by a cousin in Manitoba and was published in some Canadian journal. Beyond that I'm at a loss. I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the article though. I am aware that many Protestants did stay in Quebec, but if one looks at their population numbers, one can see a decline - again I don't have access to the source, but Google should be able to provide some information. Personally, I have little or no interest in this. Cliff.

Diane, I don't know what I did with the reprint, but a few years ago a cousin sent me a reprint of an article about the Protestant exodus from Quebec. Evidently the federal government fearing French-Canadian unrest engaged in talks with Roman Catholic officials in the province of Quebec. A deal was struck whereby the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec would be allowed to tax all of the residents of Quebec. Roman Catholics in Quebec then did not have to pay Federal government taxes; however, Protestants had to pay both taxes - taxes to the Roman Catholic Church and taxes to the Canadian government. This led to protests by the Protestants residing in Quebec, to no avail. As a result many chose to leave the province of Quebec. It was a distasteful situation for many, but the Federal government got what it wanted as the Roman Catholic Church then proceeded to keep their "flock" in line and relatively peaceful.

Hello all! >From here in the US, I am finding it difficult to find a resource to determine the origins of my 5th ggrandfather who "may" have been Jonathan ROBERTSON or ROBINSON. I have definite information on my 4th ggrandfather, Hezekiah having found many census records and I have visited his gravesite. The various spellings of our surname has made the research somewhat of a challenge! The information that I've found that links Jonathan and Hezekiah is speculative at best. Supposedly, Jonathan was born 7 October 1740 in Coleraine, Londonderry. I don't know when or from where he emigrated. If he was Hezekiah's father, I'd appreciate a lead as to where to get any records or documentation of any sort. Hezekiah's census records indicate that he was born in Virginia in 1784 which I believe makes Jonathan a definite prospect to have been his father. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Lindsey What research of USA records have you done? This maybe your best chance to find out where in the UK they came from. If you know when John Sr died you may be able to find an Newspaper account of this death giving "some" family history. Just remember the place it gives, if in Ireland, could be a Townland rather than an town. I doubt if the US 1850 or 1860 Census will help you for an Location as it may just give you Ireland and not at a County level or twon.

----- Original Message ----- From: sharon taggart To: nir-derry-d-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 6:23 PM Subject: Taggart/Church family of County Derry Hello, I have been searching somewhat for my family in County Derry for many years. To date I have the following: Thomas Taggart/McTaggart married to Ellen Church sometime circa 1863. The marriage took place in County Derry or County Antrim. I know for a fact that many of the children were born in Articlave, Coleraine and sometimes written as Downhill, Castlerock. The known children to Thomas Taggart/McTaggart and Ellen Church were: 1. Elizabeth, born 1865 in Renfrewshire, Scotland. Only known child born in Scotland. birth record said parents married in Ireland approx 18 Mos. ago. Elizabeth married a Joseph Stewart. Most likely in County Derry. 2. Samuel born 1867 in Articlave, County Derry. Married in New York 3. John born 1869 in Coleraine. Married Jane McConaghie in January of 1891 at St. Paul's, Downhill. Don't know who the witnesses were. 4. Susan born 1871 in Derry. Married in New York 5. Margaret born 1874 Derry or Antrim. married Robert Fleming in November, 1902 at St. Paul's, Downhill. Don't know who the witnesses were. To date I have not been able to locate a marriage certificate for Thomas Taggart/McTaggart and Ellen Church. I continue to search through all available records on line and even subscribe to ancestry.com. I believe they may have been married in the Church of Ireland as I have located the census record for 1900 or 1901 in Derry where Ellen was already a widow and living with her daughter Margaret Taggart before Margaret's marriage in 1902 to Robert Fleming. In this census record it said the family was Church of Ireland. Hopefully someday I will locate the marriage record which I hope will show the parents of Thomas Taggart/McTaggart and Ellen Church. Also, the marriage record may show witnesses to the marriage which most likely would be relatives of Thomas and Ellen. I would appreciate any direction or assistance you may be able to offer in helping to find the family of my Great Grandparents. Sincerely, Sharon Taggart

Dear Raymond, Thank you so much for offering to do lookups in the 1881 Scotland Census. My great-grandparents were married in Dunbarton in 1876 and their first 3 children were born and baptized at St. Patrick's Church, Strathleven, Dumbarton, Scotland. The last one was baptized in July 1880. I am hoping that they were still in Scotland at the time of the Census. I do know that they were in the United States in July 1882. Would you please check and see if JAMES DEENEY and MARY HARKIN are listed as living in Dumbarton in the 1881 census? Also, Mary's mother and stepfather should also be in the 1881 census. Mary's mother's name is MARGARET McILHONE (previously Harkin, maiden surname GREY). When Mary got married in 1876, they were living at 54 High Street, Dumbarton. James' father, JAMES DEENEY, could be living at 60 College Street, Dumbarton. Thank you so much for your time and trouble in trying to assist me. Sincerely, Mary Deeney Szewczyk __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Hello all, Happy New Year! I am trying to find my Lindsey's and where they came from in Ireland. I hear Northern Ireland is a good place to start. My line John Lindsey Jr. born Dec. 1827 came over through Liverpool July 1849 on the ship Peninsular and landed in New York. His father John Lindsey born 1799 age 50 came over in 1850 on the Ship Anna Tift and landed in New York. Other son Joseph Lindsey came over in July 1851 on the Henry Clay and landed in New York. Now wife of John Sr., Mary Lindsey also born 1799 was sometime after 1850 with the grandson James Mackey born 1844. This boy was son of Jane Lindsey and Robert Mackey. I don't believe the parents made it over. Does anyone have a way of checking Presbyterian Church records in County Derry which may help me? Thank you Lindsey
