Hi Bobbie My Darrochs' married into my Robinson family as follows: Duncan Darroch married Letitia Robinson in September 1878 John Darroch married Mary Ann Robinson in October 1882 The father of Duncan and John was a Duncan and his occupation given that of a Shipsmith. John followed in his father's footsteps and was also a Shipsmith but Duncan became an Accountant. Birth certificates are only available from 1864 so I cannot go down this road for Duncan or John and it may be through church records at PRONI at some stage that I might gleam both parents of Duncan and John and any other siblings. Darroch/Darragh/Darrock was certainly not an unusual name and in my research for my own I also accumulated other documentation which proved not to be for my family. I have now had another look at this but none of the names you mention below occur in what I have accummulated. Wishing you good luck in your search.

Hi Yvonne and others! Could you DARROCH also be DARRAGH? My great-great-grandmother, Isabella DARRAGH (born 1839, Dromore, Co. Down, Ireland) died 1910 in Belfast, married John Maddock 21 Jan 1856 in Seapatrick, Co. Down, Ireland. She had brothers, Robert, Richard and James DARRAGH and a sister Jane DARRAGH who married Samuel Wilson in Shankill, Armagh, Ireland 20 Feb 1849 (and maybe other sisters). Isabella's father was John DARRAGH, a shuttle maker, born in Dromore about 1794. There was an "Uncle Robert DARRAGH" associated with my family still living in the Belfast area in the 1940s.

I have Darroch's in my family. James Darroch s/o Mgt Carrick and James Darroch. James married Catherine (AKA Janet) Spence in Glasgow in 1868. We believe James may have been born in Ireland. Has anyone come across these names in their research. Janet Spence's parents were Thomas Spence and Isabella Sutherland (married in Scotland) Lyn (NZ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yvonne Russell" <yvrussell@gmail.com> To: <nir-down@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 4:04 AM Subject: Re: [NIR-DOWN] - DARROCH - DARRAGH? > Hi Bobbie > > My Darrochs' married into my Robinson family as follows: > > Duncan Darroch married Letitia Robinson in September 1878 > John Darroch married Mary Ann Robinson in October 1882 > > The father of Duncan and John was a Duncan and his occupation given that > of > a Shipsmith.
