I think her grandmother Boyd was called Jenny but don't know her maiden name.

Yes, Jane (or Jeanette) Boyd, from Connor, Co.Antrim, Ireland.

The Boyd name was passed down as a middle name in this side of the family.

Oh thank you, that makes sense.

So the ones on inital search results on IGI are now extracted, or more trustworthy? I know previously it was a mix of extracted and submitted.

To finalize, I should lean heavily towards the 1858 result over the 1863 one?

Thank you sinverely Aghadowey for all of your help. You have been very kind. :)

Thanks for the swift reply.  :)

The confusion was regarding the 1863 marriage listing in Connor.

"IGI Family search
Thomas McAlister b. Connor, Antrim abt. 1838
Janet Boyd b. Connor, Antrim abt. 1842
married in Connor, Antrim . 1863"

Aghadowey,

I am confused.

The details originally provided showed an IGI record of a 1863 marriage in Connor, Antrim which makes perfect geographical sense.  I can no longer see that record?

I find an 19 July 1858 marriage in Belfast between parties with the correct names, Thomas Mcalister and Jane  ( Jennet or Janet) Boyd).  Of added note is the brides Fathers name listed as Malcolm, which is the name of their child. Coincidence?

I'm not sure if the 1858 couple are simply a red herring with the same names.

I'm so confused  ???

Thanks,
Darren

Hi Aghadowey  :)

I have been away a while so decided to start from the beginning again, as i have a tendency to run before walking. On IGI I find a marriage for Thomas McAlister (Fthr William) and Jane Boyd (Fthr Malcolm) for 19.7.1858 Belfast.

I am certain that Jane Boyd is correct.

Im still having trouble determining what is submitted vs what is extracted, but this record was from the marriages records.

Thanks again!

Hi all, I hope this is the appropriate location to post this request for direction/help/info.

I am trying to locate anything at all about this lady.

I believe she was b. Templepatrick, Antrim  2.2.1872 to Thomas and Jane (nee Boyd) McAlister. I believe parents married 1858 in Belfast.


Im very keen to learn anything about her parents or further back generations, as well as where the middle name 'Lawther' came from. it seems very specific and unusual.

Also what became of Sarah Jane?

Sincere thanks in advance for your time and guidance.

 :)
