Dear List Members, I have joined this list in the hope that someone may be able to help me with researching the families of my Great Great Great Grandparents Mary WETHERALL and John SIMPSON who according to their respective death certificates were both born in Newton Limavady about 1830. They were married by licence by the Presbyterian Church at Drumchose in 1851. John SIMPSON 's parents were David SIMPSON and Elizabeth BACON. David SIMPSON was a Mason. According to her marriage certificate Mary WETHERALL 's father was Thomas WETHERALL. Thomas WETHERALL was a pensioner. Her death certificate however gives her father's name as William WEATHERAD and gives his occupation as Army Officer. Her mother's name is not given. John SIMPSON and Mary WETHERALL had the following children: William Spence SIMPSON (b.Abt 1852) Mary Elizabeth SIMPSON (b.Abt 1855-Belfast) David SIMPSON (b.24 Oct 1856-Anderston,Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland) Jane Rosborough SIMPSON (b.25 Jul 1858-Anderston,Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland) John SIMPSON (b.7 Dec 1860-Milton,Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland) Euphemia Wetherall SIMPSON (b.27 Oct 1862-Govan,Lanark,Scotland) Thomas Wetherall SIMPSON (b.13 Dec 1864-Blythswood,Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland) Euphemia SIMPSON (b.1867 New Zealand) Edward Bacon SIMPSON (b.1869 New Zealand) Ellen Mary Stuart SIMPSON (b.28 Oct 1873 New Zealand) I found two Thomas WETHERALL s who were Chelsea pensioners at the National Archives: Item details: WO 121/21/100 THOMAS WEATHERALL Born BENNACHUR, Londonderry Served in 37th Foot Regiment Discharged aged 22 after 2 years 6 months of service [PARA]1795 Item details: WO 121/169/180 THOMAS WITHEROW alias THOMAS WEATHERALL Born BANAGHER, Londonderry Served in 37th Foot Regiment; 4th Royal Veteran Battalion Discharged aged 42 after 9 years 4 months of service Residence or place where pension paid stated in document. See film image 530 [PARA]1809 Both of these Thomas s appear to be too old to be the father of Mary WETHERALL but interestingly enough on the IGI I found a christening for a Thomas WITHEROW at Drumchose on the 1st September 1817 whose parents were Thomas WITHEROW and Mary ROSBOROUGH. The surname ROSBOROUGH has been used as a middle name for one of the children of John SIMPSON and Mary WETHERALL so I am thinking that there may be some connection here. I understand that there is a Presbyterian Church at Banagher and I am wondering if there is anyone on this list who may be in a position to either have a look at the church records for me or advise me how I can access the church records so that I may in the first instance confirm whether my Mary WETHERALL and/or John SIMPSON were christened there and secondly to find the details of any siblings or other family members. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Christine
