To Dixie Dee, hello there

I have just seen on rootschat that you have a book about Mallusk Cemetery which gives names of people buried there. I was wondering if you would be able to look up a surname for me, which is
'Withers' and if there is any headstone with that name on.  I would be extremely grateful for any information and send thanks to you in advance

Hello, thanks for your messages.  Yes you are right, two men named John Withers married their own first cousins.  It is confusing especially when they have the same name.  You've confirmed that my research is right!

Many thanks to all for your replies.  My ancestor is indeed Joseph E Withers born at Mount Shannon and his father was John Withers the tailor mentioned in the Sligo Champion, thanks for that information, not seen that before.  Violet of the Birds Nest who I've just found out about was John Withers' granddaughter.  I'm pleased to receive all this information, thanks again

Hi, thanks for all the replies.  The birth is not amongst those in Dromore West, the record name is Withers and the birth in Registrar District Sligo no. 1.  I just wanted to know what or where Mount Shannon is.
Thanks again

Thanks EV for the very useful information and link.  Mount Shannon is obviously a fine looking house and I'm wondering how my ancestor came to be born there.  His family were not landed gentry.  Perhaps they worked there.
Thanks again

Sligo / Sligo Birth 1886

Hello,

One of my ancestors was born at Mount Shannon, Parish of Calry, Sligo in Oct. 1886.  I have tried to find out if Mount Shannon is a house or hospital, or area of Sligo.  Does anyone know if Mount Shannon is an actual building as I cannot find an area of Sligo with that name.  Many thanks

Hello William

Thank you for the message yesterday, Sunday.  It was interesting to read of your family connections.  I don't know any of the names you mention unfortunately and have been concentrating on the Allingham line mainly rather than Morton.  I think I may be a generation behind you.  I know that Robert's sister Mary Allingham, my great great aunt, married William George of Scotland and one of their sons was in the Royal Flying Corps and sadly died in October 1917.  It would be great to keep in touch so I look forward to hearing from you again when convenient
Regards Carol

Hello William,
Thank you for your message of 6th April about Robert Allingham and best wishes for your 70th birthday.  Robert Allingham, born in Sligo, was my great great uncle, being brother of my great grandmother Susan Allingham who married Edward Withers in 1887 at Sligo and they later moved to Belfast.  Robert had another sister Mary.  I expect you will have already seen the family information on this topic about my own Allingham connection and the photo of Robert and Margaret Morton.  I have since found out some further facts, e.g his 1st wife was Kate Brett of Co. Leitrim who he married in 1892.  Perhaps we could exchange some correspondence.  You say your name is Lee Morton so I wondered if you are a descendant from Margaret Morton's side?   
Regards, Carol
