Hi Bob and welcome :)

I'm delighted to hear you're a descendant of Ann Jane Barnes b 31 Jan 1856.  I've traced her marriage to John Malins in 1877 and John's death in 1879.  I have Ann (as Annie Mellens) and her daughter in 1880 but haven't traced either of them after that.

I've lots of information on the wider family. Looking forward to being in touch with you.

Anna
Ayr: Barnes, Wylie
Caithness: MacGregor
Essex: Eldred (Pebmarsh)
Gloucs: Timbrell (Winchcomb)
Hants: Stares (Wickham)

London: Pierce
Suffolk: Markham (Framlingham)
Surrey: Gosling (Richmond)
Wilts: Matthews, Tarrant (Calne, Preshute)

Folks ... I am back to this discussion after a long absence.  Ann Jane Barnes is my gg grandmother.  She is a daughter of Robert John Barnes and Ann Jane Wylie.  She married John Malins in Boston.  They had one daughter Sadie Alice (my g grandmother).  John died in 1879 in Boston.  Ann Jane later married James Barnes Gordon in South Dakota.  They emigrated to Alberta in about 1905 and eventually settled in the Camrose Alberta area.  Sadie Alice and her husband Ferdinand Brandt followed with their family in 1912 and this family has lived in this area since.  I have quite a lot of information on this line of the family.

I had a cousin who was also a direct relative of William Wylie Barnes.  The lineage of this family is less clear to me.  This cousin later emigrated from Dundee to Alberta and died here in 1990.

Would love to connect and share more information.   Bob

My grandmother was a Wylie - she was born in Glasgow, but her parents were from Ballymena and the family appear to have originated in the Ballymena/Ballywatermoy/Ahoghill area. A lot of them were Plymouth Brethren.

I'm not aware of a Barnes connection in my own family tree, however.
Eighteen -- Hadleigh, Suffolk; Reading, Berkshire
Hendry -- Ballymena, Antrim; Glasgow, Lanarkshire
Wylie -- Ballymena, Antrim; Glasgow, Lanarkshire

In my Wiley family from Antrim, the name is recorded as Wiley pre 1900 but recorded as Wylie in many records from around 1900 or a little before. So look under both names in the early 1800s records.

My Wiley family were marrying around 1820, in Templepatrick. I do not have any Annes and none of these names seem to belong to my family, so you can probably ignore the family of my 4x gt grandparents Hugh (1748-1828) & Mary Wiley of Ballycushion, Templepatrick. Prior to Ballycushion the family appear to have been in the Ballyrobert, Ballylinney area. 4xgts buried Ballylinney.

Cheers

Linda

Re Wiley from Antrim, check out the spelling Willey as well. I have a  Hugh Willey as the father of a  Hugh Wylie from Templepatrick. I've also seen Willy, Wealy, Wheley, Wailey,Wyly and Wale used -- my mother used Wyley.

Oliver,

I'm also descended from Hugh Wiley of Ballycushan (c1748-1828).  Interested to hear you have his father as also being Hugh ... what is the source for that info?

I agree about the spelling variations...  All I know is that the headstone next to Hugh (born c1748) is:

....B.....................
Wille....................
this Lif.................
.751 [?] Ag..........
Also Agnes his wife
who departed this
Life Decr 11th 1791 [?]
Aged 77 years. Also
David Willey the..
son who departed

Hi

Had a quick check on my Ancestry tree and it's from two trees :

http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/36359423/person/28904106877/facts
and http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/41708622/person/28095901052/facts
They specify two different wives.

Sorry I haven't anything firmer for you.

They're not sourced further and I haven't contacted the owners as yet.

The headstone is very interesting though. I might have to call and have a look at it.
Do you know if they were connected to a mill?

My link with the Templepatrick Wylies is through DNA -- there's a good match with my immediate family and cousins -- the link should be  around 1750 but it's not obvious to me. My mother came from Waterford, and I've been trying to link her to her distant relations up north. Her ggrandfather was a policeman in the 1830's but I haven't been able to find any record of him in RIC records. I'm trying to figure how or why they came south and settled in the Kilkenny/Waterford area. They were Presbyterians.



Kind Regards

Oliver
