Antrim / Re: Thomas John Patterson - Carrickfergus Mayor

gaffy,

Thanks for the post. You have provided great information. I took the same tack re: occupation but I didn't have access to the church records. I wonder why the difference in records.

Keep well.

Thanks, aghadowey,

I never was any good at copy & paste.

I'd still like to see if Mary was a blood relative to my McCalmont family. Too bad the early 1800's records didn't survive.

Keep well

aghadowey, thank you for your assistance.

It's too bad the borough council office does not have personal information on the town mayors.
I realize that in those times a man might have more than one profession but it can be confusing to research going from labourer to painter to coachman.
The suggestion of DNA testing is because a Thomas Patterson was born 1864

and, since Kilroot is only 2 miles from Prospect Street, it is possible that the father, William Patterson, is also the father of Bessie. I would like to prove/disprove a familial connection.

Keep well.

Antrim / Thomas John Patterson - Carrickfergus Mayor
« on: Tuesday 06 June 23 23:04 BST (UK)  »
Hello all,

Is anyone on rootschat related to this man? FTDNA tested? I have been told that Thomas John Patterson (3 Feb. 1893 - 30 Jan. 1981) was a nephew of Elizabeth (Bessie) Barnes Jane Dalway Patterson (about 1862 - 27 February 1941). Bessie married Thomas McCalmont (1859 - 1903), my great-grandfather Alexander McCalmont's brother. I have found a great amount of information on the Patterson family but cannot, with certainty, confirm the familial relationship with the former Carrickfergus Mayor. Any help confirming this aunt/nephew relationship is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

J.A.M.

eddiec,

Have fun.

Also, does the following from the pre-1858 wills at PRONI have any connection to your lines?

Connor will made 25 March 1802 Proved 9 April 1802
Andrew M'Calmont of Island-Magee to son Thomas M'Calmont (pounds)4 . 4s divides his farm between daughter Mary M'Calmont son John M'Calmont & 2 sons in law James M'Neilley & John Grexson. Mentions neighbours Geargary Mans & James Lemmons
Executors John M'Calmont  James Mulligan
Witnesses James Mulligan Gregory Mann

Grexson is likely Gregg.

As all the Christian names of the M'Calmonts run through my family I'm hoping to find a connection.

Keep well.

Roger

eddiec,

I note you are researching Connolly & Busby. Do you have Colville in the mix?
My relationship is;

  James Busby married Martha Connolly (d/o John Connolly d. 29 April 1888 aged 87) on 6 May 1854 at 2nd Presbyterian Church, Islandmagee; witnesses: Andrew Lewis & Sarah Kane. They had at least 3 children.

   (1) James Busby – born – about 1856 – died – 2 April 1893
   (2) John Connolly Busby – born – 14 January 1858 – died – 2 April 1950
   (3) Elizabeth (Lizzie) Busby – born – 26 February 1864

John Connolly Busby married Isabella Colville on 20 September 1886 at Bethel House, Sydney, NSW, Australia (his 2nd marriage). They had at least 6 children.

John Connolly Busby went to Australia 12 April 1875 aboard 'Lady Down'.
Isabella arrived in Sydney, Australia from Plymouth, England aboard the S.S. Energia on 4 June 1886 bound for the home of her sister Margaret Ogilby at 35 Cumberland Street, Sydney, N.S.W.
John & family returned to the U.K. at Southampton on 18 July 1896 & he became a Postman at Island Magee.

KBoyd & scotmum,

Thanks for the replies. Since my post 5 years ago I found the information, forgot to mark it completed.
James Stanley McCalmont was born 25 March 1919 - died 20 November 1977. He was cousin to John (Jack) Davis Templeton.

Keep well.

Technical Help / Re: Hypothetical Windows 10 for Window 7 users

When my ACER computer finally wore out I had my tech guy install Windows 10 with the Windows 7 programs I was familiar with on my new computer. Two years on & no problems.
