Down / Re: Tullylish bureal grounds
« on: Wednesday 16 August 23 16:43 BST (UK)  »
Joseph was in Loughans in 1865 when Mary Jane was born.  He is almost certainly the Joseph in Griffiths in Loughans when data was collected about 1860-1864.  If you go to AskaboutIreland and look at his property number and then at the records for the size of the property he rented, you will see he was not wealthy.  He was a laborer.  If you then go to PRONI Revisions listed under "more" you can see which decade he is no longer in Loughans.  He probably moved to Belfast at that point. 
You can see the backside of the gravestone for William and Margaret Campbell at Armagh Family History site on facebook and ask the lady who submitted the photo for more information.  Her e-mail should be listed in the site's file SURNAMES   under Adamson.  It is probably the grave of William Campbell and Margaret (Rogers.)

Part of Tullylish is closely tied to Lurgan.  Therefore two researchers of the County Armagh Family History site on Facebook posted over 400 photos of gravestones from Tullylish COI and a smaller number from Tullylish Presbyterian.  If you join and look under Media and/or Albums, you will see the photographs, though some are not readable.  This has been a wonderful source for all of us with Tullylish ties and we are extremely grateful for the researchers' efforts to help others.

Down / Re: Gregson family history

Thanks for the correction.  Also "Like an Evening Gone" magheralinparish.atspace.com  with Wm Gregson paying 10-0 in maybe 1835 for something and Seat #15 taken by Thos. Gregston and Wm. Gardener in 1792

In  "Topic: Help please on Fannie Frances GREGSON " in 2009 there was a discussion on what seemed to be your family.  Edenballycoghill, Magheralin, Down  was where a son lived for a long while.  Do you have that information?

He was married Feb 12, 1812 at the Mageralin COI church.  Both were living in the parish at the time, says the church record.  Are you sure he was from elsewhere?  I thought the church listed many of his children's baptisms.  If so, he remained in the area.  Jane Gregston was married the next month and could be a relative.   Mary Gregston was married a little more than a year earlier. No parents were listed in the original records. All the Gregtons said they were from that parish.  How did you link them to elsewhere?

There was some sort of history of Mageralin and Dollingston COI on-line called " ? ? ? Evening ?"  It had who paid for church pews and therefore some very early family information.  Does anyone know if the site mentioned Gregstons?

Armagh / Re: Somervilles of Ballyhannon/Portadown

PSW28- The Ballydougan Wilsons have several trees on MyHeritage including mine.  Most of the Wilson trees are by descendants of those who went to NZ.  I think the one on Rootsweb was deleted when Ancestry took over the site. Helen Wilson who married Wm Alex Chambers was the granddau of George Wilson and Jane Reid of Ballydougan.  George's father, Samuel Wilson (m. Jane Adamson,) is a brother to the ancestor of most of the NZ Ballydougan Wilsons.   There are also Bleary Wilsons, but I think you are looking at the Ballydougan ones.    The Facebook page for several Lurgan and Co. Armagh sites may be of interest to you despite Ballydougan being in Co Down. Lurgan was the main marketplace for the area.    I don't see a PM here anymore, so I can provide an e-mail at one of the other sites if you can't find a tree.

Just noticed that the surnames Dupreys/Dupre and Prey are interchangeable.  Connections to my distant families are now clear.

On MyHeritage, a family tree had written "Frances Dupre" as a wife instead of "Frances McCLeary" who was the dau of Sarah Prey.  A witness to Frances's marriage was Wm Duprey.  Looking at Preys of COrcreany, I see Elizabeth be 1838 to Samuel and ELizabeth Pray.  Samuel Dupre had dau Elizabeth who said she was born 1843 when she married.  While not firm, Elizabeth was a probable wife of Samuel per death records.

 I am also seeing William John Prey son of Wm Prey of Corcreany marry Sarah Walker, dau of Richard  in 1878.  The children of Wm John Duprey have Sarah Walker as mother per irishgenealogy

Eliza Gracey is the wife of Wm Prey m. 1848  Wm Duprey and Eliza definitely had children Thomas, James and Sarah born 1850 and after.  It looks like William John Duprey is also their son, but it would be nice to find the baptism.  Also found baptism of Wm Hugh Prey  born 1847 to Samuel and Eliza Prey.  It looks very much like  Prey/Pray is the same name as Duprey/Dupre.

I sent a PM.  Samuel Adair, grandson of Sarah McCLeary married Anna Maria Duprey, grandau of Wm John and Sarah (Walker) Duprey of Corcreany.  The families appeared close as Anna McCleary is a witness at one of the Turtle marriages and possibly James McCLeary at ? 's marriage

 I am seeing William and Samuel Dupres in Corcreany born in the 1820's.  Hamilton's siblings were born about 1800, I assume, and Hamilton married 1848.  Do you have possible parents for Wm and Samuel as this is tight timing for Hamilton's siblings?

Armagh / Re: Birth of Mary Eleanor Metcalf or Medcalf circa 1889

When you delve back farther, I would check for Midcoff, Midcaff, Mitkiff, Midkiff and Midcalf for Joseph m. Baxter, father Joseph plus other variations.  Most in the Lurgan area are Ch of Ireland, but Samuel m. Ann Saunders is Presbyterian and had Elizabeth 1825, 1828.  Anthony in Derrymacash with dau Jane m. Wm Castles 1854 is also Presby. as well as John having son Wm of Ballykelly who married Margaret Hamilton 1845 who later married John Wallace.
