Does anyone have any information about the Lightbody families living in the Newtownards area during the 1870.
My Great Grand Father was born in 1876. His name is James Lightbody. Records that I discovered in South Africa indicates that he was born in Newtownards, Co. Down, Ireland on the 26 March 1876. I have searched the birth record entries for that time and only found a entry for a James Lightbody in 1874. This person died in Ireland and hence can't be my GGFather. My GGfather emigrated to South Africa around 1895 and died in 1945 in South Africa.
Any information will be much appreciated
Lawrence Lightbody

In the Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958
There is a birth record of a James Lightbody in the quarter Jan - Mar 1878 in the Registration district of Newtownards
Film number: 101055
Volume: 1
Page: 845
Digital GS number: 4193456
Image number: 00064
I'm wondering if the 1878 may have locked like 1876 in the papers you have.
Check out : http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347
I know there are still Lightbody's in the area.
Good luck

from www.findmypast.com/passengerList , the first date is birth given and the second date when travelling
LIGHTBODY Jas 1875 M 1898 London South Africa Cape
then I looked again and found
LIGHTBODY A 1867 M 1897 Southampton South Africa Durban (Port Natal) VIEW VIEW
LIGHTBODY A 1869 F 1897 Southampton South Africa Durban (Port Natal) VIEW VIEW
LIGHTBODY Andrew 1869 M 1897 Southampton South Africa Durban (Port Natal) VIEW VIEW
LIGHTBODY J 1870 M 1896 Southampton South Africa Cape VIEW VIEW
LIGHTBODY J Unknown M 1897 Southampton South Africa Cape VIEW VIEW
LIGHTBODY Jas 1875 M 1898 London South Africa Cape
I tried http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/L/LiLl.htm#lig with several Lightbodys of Newtownards area
then I came across something that if it was to include your James would be great, it is a Lightbody family tree in volume 11 which is in the Blackwood Family history manuscript trees in the LinenHall library, Belfast. I suggest you ask them for photocopying estimates if they think your knowledge relevant and you should be prepared to pay a fee for copying, post and packing, and perhaps some staff time and overheads. However if the material is really relevant when you get it, I suggest a further donation to this unique library that is always needing extra funds Linen Hall Library,17 Donegall Square North, Belfast BT15GB, Northern Ireland, Telephone: +44 (0)28 9032 1707, Fax: +44 (0)28 9043 8586, Email: <irish.reference[at]linenhall.com>.replace the [AT] with the symbol please
