NEILL family of C. Tyrone
« on: Friday 29 February 08 12:00 UTC (UK) »
I am researching my fathers family  and have hit a brick wall!
My grandfather was a William Neill born i think in Benburb he married a Matilda Watt and they lived in Benburb until the 1930's when they moved to Glasgow. I am trying to find information about both my grandparents ancestors.
Matilda,born 1886 (one of 10 children) was the daughter of David Watt a farmer and Annie Jane Neville of Drumderg.
William born 1884, was, I think the son of Thomas Neill (0ne of 9 children) and I think Ellen Irwin.

Can anyone help - my father (now 93) cannot remember much but would love to know more about his own family.

Many thanks

Welcome to Rootschat. IGI lists a one of the Neill family:
Archibald Neill born 25 Feb.1881 Gawaghy dist. Co. Tyrone, son of Thomas Neill & Ellen Irwin.
Since it would be very expensive to get birth certificates for all the Neill and Watt children you might want to see if you can find what church they attended and then check LDS catalogue to see if they've microfilmed the church records, and if they cover the dates you need.

Thankyou for your quick reply,Archibold was my grandfathers brother and I did not know his wifes name. The whole of the Neill family were (and still are for the most part) Orange Men and Presbyterians.
Have tried to get info from Benburb but there is some 'domestic' problem between the Minister and the Elders and they say the Minister will not release church records - don't know if this is still the case.
Will carry on looking
Many thanks

The birth I posted earlier for Archibald gives his parents' not wife's name:
