'Neither by chance nor fate'

David Reid married Eliza Jane Dunbar February 1878 in Bally Black.
A son William was born around 1879
Can anyone help me find more information about this family prior to their move to Scotland in 1880.
Thank you
Anaka

IGI (www.familysearch.org) lists son's birth:
William Reid born 13 Feb.18701879 Co. Down, son of David Reid & Eliza Jane Dunbar
Irish marriage certificates don't contain as much as Scottish ones but will list their date and place of marriage, residences at time of marriage. whether or not of full age, marital status and occupations, fathers' names and occupations, names of 2 witnesses. Will not give birthdates or places, mothers' names.
Index to civil registrations is online (free)- search for bride and groom separately then cross-reference results for matching details-

Ireland is a new area of research for me and your help is much appreciated.
Surely 'Hans' Dunbar is an uncommon name and my first thought was German, or could it be Irish?
Regards

Hans was quite a common name in Ireland in 1800s and earlier.

Anaka,
The "Hans" name derives from the German "Johannes".
It was common in the Scottish HAMILTON family, granted extensive tracts of land in the North of Ireland by King James I.
[See my note elsewhere in this conference.]
Many folks named their offspring after the local bigwigs, to show respect and/or political allegiance, or to curry favour (and then show gratitude) over land grants and rents.
----
A James Gilmore DUNBAR was a small landholder at Drumfad, just over the hill from Ballyblack.
[Check out PRONI's online catalogue for a list of his tenants.]
He might be a relative of Elizabeth ...

Thank you for your interest.
Elizabeth Jane (Dunbar) Reid caught Typhoid Fever and died age 26 in Larkhall Scotland.
From her death cert. I'm unable to decipher the maiden name of her mother and wonder if anyone can help.
I found her father's marriage and death (Hance Dunbar) and after looking through all the Elizabeth Jane's on the 'pilot family search' site to connect with Hance Dunbar 1858 Newtownards, nothing seemed close to matching with the name on the death cert.
Regards
Anna

Possibly Haig? - Hard to tell!

I am delighted.
All with a little help from friends.

As an aside, descendants of this family are alive and well in Ohio USA
