Great  thanks -thought Matilda may be the second wife but needed to go back to Dundalk to research a little more.  Is there a headstone in the cemetry for William Gabbie and wife or wives.?
As for Whan  -- I think that family came from Cookstown and was looking at Samuel born 1863 father Benjamin mother Mary Ekin.   If this is the same Whan then Mary Ekin's brother William Ekin 's dau was a gaunt of mine. She was Mary Ekin b 1875 died 1971 married John Greer 
Whan is not so common a name here.
regards
Elizabeth

Many thanks for your information on William John Gabbie.
Some of this I knew but you have put'  flesh on the bones'  and made it interesting.
Still looking for his second wife he married in 1911. Are you living in Belfast?   Robert Brown and I  would like to meet up with you if possible to exchange some facts as  Robert Brown is  the g.grandson of Elizabeth Jane Gabbey sister of William John the vet.

Thankyou for your help. William John's father was buried C O I Holywood Co Down and only father and mother buried there. Sister Sarah Ann , not married, died at William John's  after Grissella died so I expect she is buried there. Presbyterian Church has no graveyard and the C O I 's graves finished about 1898 . It appears the burials after 1898 were to the cemetery about one mile out on the Newry Road. I walked there Saturday week ago searching the cemetery, the protestant section is very small and some headstones are illegible, My trip was in vain. In the library I found the death announcement of Grissella 8/2/1910 At jocelyn St  interred in St Patricks Cemetery. You mentioned William John siblings they were -  Mary no birth date, Elizabeth Jane born 1848 married Brown, Sarah Ann born  1852 and then William John 1854 all born Holywood.
I am researching the Brown tree and William John 's grandfather was Ballagh and the family are mentioned in his will.
When we hit a "brick wall" we ask for help and that was where I was.
Again many thanks

Many thanks for your reply . I have John Gabbey born Holywood 1820 married 1848 , he was a medical doctor in Holywood and Belfast. His only son I can find was William John Gabbey born 1854 in Holywood and he later became a vet in Armagh. William John was Gabbey when married in Armagh but became Gabbie in Dundalk. W J Gabbey married Grissella Smith  nee Dunlop  widow of William Smith  1878 in Armagh and Grissella died in Dundalk 8/2/1910. Grissella was married first 1862 in Derrynoose C of I.   W J Gabbey's sister married Hugh Browne Belfast. It is the Dundalk part I find hard to unravel.  Thanks.

Louth / William John Gabbie Vet in Dundalk
« on: Tuesday 20 August 13 21:01 BST (UK)  »
I have spent a few days in Dundalk searching for a vet called William Gabbie who died about 1917. Through the library  in Dundalk I found his wife Grissella died 1910 and I have found  he remarried 1911 - that is the problem I have the choice of three people Johnston, Montgomert or Grey .  I visited the cemetery on the Newry Road but didn't find the graves. Does anyone know anything re the Gabbie family in Dundalk having come from Armagh. Any help would be appreciated

Ireland / Re: Searching for John Kane

Hi
I am grateful for all the help so quickly for John Kane. My search begun through John's son George marriage to Isabella Campbell .I found her in 1911 census living with her mother at the birth of Emily Kane  1911 in Fairhill Street Ballycastle and have copy of her birth cert along with the marriage cert of George and Isabella.  George Kane with other children I can't fine in the 1911 Irish census so maybe he was in Scotland at that time !!
 I think Elizabeth Jane McCleery came from Glasslough Co Monaghan
Thanks everyone
Eliz

Looking for John Kane who married Elizabeth Jane McCleery. Elizabeth according to 1901 census was born in Monaghan but dau Emily Jane Kane was born in Cavankilgreen, Carnteel Parish district of Aghaloo in 1871 although son  George Henry Kane was born in Monaghan and the rest of the family in Belfast. John and Elizabeth was married about 1872.  I think the Kanes came from Co Tyrone.  Any help would be appreciated.
