Samuel Atkinson - Lisnalong

[mrgreer]

Hi,

I'm trying to find the date of birth for Samuel Atkinson of Lisnalong. I believe he was born around 1871 and died in 1920. I also believe he was the sub postmaster for Lisnalong. I believe he was buried in Ballybay Church of Ireland graveyard. Can anyone help please?

I've looked on family search and found a possible link to his parents but need the DOB confirmed.

This is the only Samuel Atkinson of the correct age in the 1901 census. Not sure if you already have that info.

Samuel was born 26 November 1869 in Claraghy and died 8 March 1923. He was the sub postmaster in Lisnalong. His parents were Matthew Atkinson and Mary Black. I have information on this family if you are still searching.

Hello Legend,

Sorry for the delay but any information on this family would be of great interest. Samuel was my maternal great grandfather. Many thanks in advance.

Hello I believe that Samuel Atkinson was also my great-grandfather...his daughter Elizabeth was my grandmother. I'd love to share any info you have!

Hi great to hear from you!
Yes, that was her exact birthdate & she was called Lil...I can fill in the blanks you have there!
I am still learning how to use this site...I only joined today...apparently I am unable to send personal messages so could not reply to yours thus am replying in the Forum.

Dear All,

I am also researching my family history, Elizabeth (Lil) was my Grandmother on my Father's side- i would love to have any information that you may have, especially his death. I found the death entry on Irish Genealogy and all the usual on the Irish Census site, would like more if anyone has anything.
