My late husbands g.grandfather was William Stewart Dickson according to a newspaper cutting at his death, 4th son of Thomas Dickson ,Surgeon.
On William's marriage in 1862 in Australia, states Cookstown, Tyrone as his place of birth. William born about 1829.
any help or suggestion in finding William's family appreciated.
Thank you Rainy

Thanks Terry and aghadowey for your replies.
Question...I have on the marriage of William that his mother was Sarah Ray. Now perhaps Margaret died and Thomas remarried Sarah Ray as William possibly born the 1829c,going by his age when he died.
I had trouble with that site, as I only have dialup, not all areas in our country are covered properly by broadband yet. Get to the site, download and it freezes on me. will try again, as could be very helpful.
Can you tell me what R.N. is it Royal Navy? Is there a site I can try for that??
Thank you for your help appreciate that.

It sounds like Thomas Dickson was a surgeon in the Royal Navy but Cookstown is not exactly near the coast so perhaps he was either from the area originally and returned there.

Rainey- had a look at Derryloran site and couldn't find a baptism for William Stewart Dickson c1829. Then found a marriage-
"Thomas DUNN of the Parish of Ardtrea, Surgeon, Townland of Enniskillen and Margaret McClelland of this Parish were married in this Church by License with consent of ___ this fifth Day of September in the Year one Thousand eight Hundred and twenty four."
This Thomas is a surgeon (like one in newspaper obituary I found) and date is okay for marriage of William's parents but the name is certainly DUNN in marriage register (I enlarged it several times and got 2nd opinions here & we all agree it's DUNN).

Did some more searching through Derryloran records-
Thomas & Margaret DUNN, Tubberlane, had a son Robert bapt. 21 Nov.1824 (looks like they got married none too soon).
Checked marriages 1824-1830- no Dickson/Dixon- & baptisms also- looking for a William/William Stewart ___/Dunn. etc- nothing. Then looked at burial register which starts 1855 but Thomas Dickson d.1857 was not listed.
Therefore, it looks like the Thomas Dickson that died 1857 did not belong to Derryloran Parish Church. However, it's still not clear whether he is the father of William Stewart Dickson.

Once again aghadowey and creaney I appreciate your help and very kind lookups.
Yes wonder then if they move away from area. Perhaps when in royal navy went closer to where he would be sailing from.
perhaps I need to try for Thomas's birth.or is that going to be difficult as 1782c,are there records available for that time, or only Baptisms in Church Records?
The Stewart name has gone through the family as well,so wonder if a family name from an ancestor as well.
In the Londonderry Sentinel says "ult" does that mean January?? Just guessing.
Of courses some of my names have many with same name,so takes time to find these ancestors, but one day.
Once again thank you for your help.

Thank you aghadowey, that helps. Think they were Roman Catholic?? But have no idea of where Thomas would have been born. so that help me realise that it will be a long chance of coming up with his details.
