I am looking for any relations of the late Joseph Gilmore Quee, known as Gilmore born about 1914 possibly in or around Drumbo Co Down. He married Anne ORR at Drumbo Presbyterian Church in the late 50's.
Gilmore's father was Joseph and he owned several butchers shops in Belfast he died in the 1970's

Hi Anthony
Many thanks for the Quee Info. You have sent me the correct lot. they did have a butchers shop in Sandy Row and the Grosvenor Road. Now it give me something to start on. The other Quees you have can you see any other connection apart from the name. It appears that they could be family Is Quee a common name over there.
Regards
Alf

Hi Alf. I was at the Belfast City Cemetery looking at one of our graves.

Anthony
Thanks for the info and your good wishes. May I wish the same to you and yours for 2007.
My wife's uncle (thro' marriage) was Gilmore Joseph Quee born 1910, now the headstone gave one of the twins who died as Joseph Gilmour Quee born 1911, so I need to start digging to see where this connection comes together. I have a lot of queries to sort out in my wife's family and now need a visit to Belfast to get my teeth into them. Hopefully will talk my wife into visiting NI early summer.
The family history trails never seem to get any shorter. ha ha
Again many thanks for your help
All the best
Alf

Hi I'm Myles Quee. Gilmore was my great uncle, his brother Brian is my Grandfather. If you are interested in talkin please leave me a message as I have been trying to find out more about our family,
thanks, Myles

My grandfather, Wilson Johnston, married an Elizabeth Quee in 1917. She died a few weeks after chidbirth (in 1918) and my grandfather went on to remarry and have several children, one of whom was my father. Wilson Johnston was born around Sandy Row area I think so its possible there is a connection bearing in mind the name is not that common. If you have an Elizabeth Quee born late 1800s I would be interested as I havent really started on my fathers side of the family yet and dont know much about them
Mandy ;D

no relation to elizabeth quee sorry
-
I have a postcard of John Quee’s butchers shop at 108.
Any ideas of where exactly it would be?
thanks
-
Hi I have an Isabella Quee in my tree, born about 1823 in Belfast. She later married William Elliott and they moved to Liverpool. I haven't been able to find anything further about her, so if anyone has come across her or her family I would be very interested.
-
I have Susan Quee [b. 8th June 1856] in my family tree, she was a daughter of William Quee [d. 13th April 1899] and Jane Marshall [d. 9th May 1877]. Are there any members following this thread related to her?
-
Hi Susan Quee (b 1856) was my great-grandmother - her son Samuel Johnston was my mother's father. Susan had a very interesting life - would love to share details with you. What relationship do you have to her?
-
Thanks for responding. I thought it was a long shot posting on this thread since it was last updated in 2014!
-
Susan Quee was my Gt.Gt Grandmother. I'm descended from William Quee Johnston [b. 23rd July 1880, m. 18th February 1909, d. 18th December 1962] of her first marriage [4th December 1877] to William Johnston [d. 2nd March 1884].
If my records are correct, she married your Gt.Grandfather, another William Johnston, on the 27th November 1892. Samuel Johnston, your Grandfather, was born on the 6th of July 1895.
I was never able to find a death certificate for "my" William Johnston, just a burial record, and had long thought they may have been the same person! That is until I came across what I think is "your" William Jonhston's death cert from the 31st of December 1918; have I got that correct?
Susan Johnston (nee Quee) died on the 13th March 1933 and your Grandfather Samuel was present at her death in 49 Crosby Street.
What confuses me about all of this is that Susan was buried in the Quee family plot A 471 City Cemetery Belfast along with "my" William Johnston, John Johnston [d. 12th April 1885] and her father William Quee; perhaps this was more to do with the fact that C 102, City Cemetery where "your" William Johnston was buried was already a "full" grave plot??
I have loads of certificates, newspaper references, burial records etc that I can certainly share.
I think rootschat allows messaging between posters, after I think the third post, so if you are interested we can exchange personal email addresses after that.
-
As far as I know, all the details you have are correct - so the relationship between the two Williams is certainly interesting! I have been trying to find a death certificate for the first William for a while - what a pity they have such common names - but I think that the burial record confirms what happened.
My grandfather Samuel died on 20 August 1935 when my mother was just 3 years old. She, and her sisters, were always told by their mother that Susan's first husband was a sailor - a captain who was lost at sea and then she married another man with - coincidence! - the same name. So I was a bit suspicious when I discovered that Susan was in the workhouse in 1890 - giving birth to a daughter, Lily, on 15.9.90 - whose father is given as William Johnston, plasterer, whereabouts unknown. I feared she might have married the second William without a death certificate.
Would love to learn more about the family - which of William Quee's children are you descended from?
-
This is very interesting stuff...
We can continue our discussion via email now.
However, for completeness on this thread, William Quee Johnston and Anna Rebecca Dempster Hill had three daughters: Irene Moore Johnston, [b. 17th February, d. 4th March 1910], Jeannie Johnston [b. 17th February 1916, m. 7th August 1940, d. 27th February 1964] and Margaret Beryl Johnston [b. 27th March 1911, m. 8th July 1931, d. 1st January 1990].
I'm directly descended from Margaret Beryl Johnston...

Hi Alf
Not sure if this is still live - but my Great Uncle was Gilmore Quee. My Grandfather was his brother Brian Quee who passed away at the end of 2020.
I have some photos from their old house in Drumbo if you are interested. I think Gilmore is in a few of them with his horses. They’re pretty impressive! We came across a box of them when we were clearing out my Pa’s things.
If this reaches you, let me know and perhaps I can email them across to you!
