Newell,Aghyoghill,Greencastle,Co.Down

[RoseUK]

I need some help trying to find out what happened to my GGmother's siblings.

My GGM was Amelia Newell, and she is listed in the Ireland census 1911 as aged 17yrs. Her parents were Francis and Maggie Newell. They all lived at 12 Aghyoghill, Greencastle,Co.Down, which is just outside of Kilkeel.
Siblings: Willie Newell 19yrs, Minnie 16yrs, Frank 13yrs, Lizzie 12yrs, Lottie 11yrs and Annie 8yrs.

(I would also like to find out what Maggie Newell's maiden name is.)

Amelia married William Henderson in 1913,in Rostrevor. There is an entry in the same Presbyterian Church of a Minnie Newell also marrying a William Henderson. Could this be Amelia's sister? There seems to have been a lot of Newells and Hendersons around Kilkeel area.

Thanks.

Link to 1911 census entry- 12 is merely the enumertor's number for the household, Aghyoghill is the townland and Greencastle to D.E.D.:

Different spelling for the townland in 1901-

PRONI Will Extract- "Newell Francis of Aghyoghill Lisnacree county Down farmer died 3 August 1939 Probate Belfast 26 September to William Henderson and Robert Patterson farmers. Effects £1040." Actual Will available at PRONI might give information on children, etc.

Added- lots of Newells here-

The marriage of Frank Newell and Margaret Hanna was registered in Kilkeel. Oct – Dec 1890 Volume 1, page 721.

Hi,
    The marriage took place on 23 Dec 1890 in Rostrevor Presbyterian Church.

I now know the following:

Frank Newell married Margaret Hanna 23 Dec. 1890 at Rostrevor Presbyterian Church.
Two of their daughters both married men named William Henderson.
-Catherine Amelia Newell married William Henderson in 1913, her sister Minnie also married a William Henderson. (Both married in Rostrevor Presbyterian Church).
-Charlotte 'Lottie' Newell married Richard Cecil Nicholson 2 Feb 1920.

I think Lizzie(Elizabeth) Newell may have married Robert James Patterson.(I have been informed there is a mention of Robert Patterson in her father's will Probate,but i have yet to obtain a copy of it)

I am wondering if my Annie Newell is the one who married John Coffey. He seems to be related to Robert Patterson.
No luck yet on finding out about Willie Newell or his brother Frank, but the search continues.

Thanks for everyones' advice.

Hi,
    Feb 1905 Robert Patterson married Rose Newell but her father's name was George. I cannot see any of the others.

Annie Newell was the daughter of Frank Newell of Newell's cross on the Rostrevor side of town. It had a post office I think and was yellow washed with red window frames. Frank I think had been out to Australia and made his money there.

Her siblings are buried in a small plot down the road - ones that died in childhood that is. Annie did indeed marry John - who was deaf and she died in 85 I think. She was a funny woman - wicked sense of humour, a Newell trait. Her favourite brother was another Frank who died relatively young. He was married to Isobel Wilson who was my great aunt.

Greencastle is on the southern tip not far from Kilkeel.

I do remember many of the names you are enquiring about though most are well before my time. My grandmother's sister was married to Bob Patterson and lived on the Windmill road after he passed away.

I was told that Annie was really Suzanne - by as my poor old Granny was dead by this stage, I couldn't ask her.
