    1. Re: FORREST/FOREST in Millville
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Forest/Forrest and Miller Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wQB.2ACE/1014.1 Message Board Post: Hi Paula. Here is the info I have on Catherine and Robert Miller. I can't give you documentation because I lost my documents in a move. Robert Miller and Catherine Forest/Forrest married 11 Nov 1858 in Balteagh Parish church (Newtown Limavady area). Catherine's death certificate gives her mother's name as Bridget, but unless that was another name used by her mother, it may be that Robert didn't know her actual name. Their children are: James F (presumably Forrest), born 18 Feb 1860 (Lomond, Tamlaght Finlagan - source unknown); Robert Miller, born 6 Jan 1862 (Crindle, Tamlaght Finlagan - source unknown); Mary Ann (known as Minnie in the 1880 census), born 17 Jan 1864 (Crindle, Tamlaght Finlagan - source unknown), died 27 Dec 1896; Isabella, born 24 Oct 1866 (Cumberland County, NJ); William B., born 3 June 1869 (Cumberland County, NJ), died 14 Dec 1923 (Barnsboro, Gloucester County, NJ); and Matilda, born 20 Nov 1871 (the same day her mother died - assumed during or after childbirth). Robert remarried Anna Hanna. They had Maggie. I didn't realize the Forrest clan had come over as well. I'd like to know when they arrived and on what ship in what port, if you have that information. I'll be telling my mother about the other family that arrived to see if maybe she knew them as well as Catherine's children, but didn't realize they were family. It doesn't matter which email you use to respond (I sent you email from my other account), if you do.
