Margaret Beggs
« on: Saturday 29 March 14 23:13 GMT (UK) »
This is a request for a lookup in the gravestones of Doagh/Kilbride. I am actually looking for three different Margaret Beggs.
1. Margaret Beggs nee Boyd who died between March 1897 and 1901.
2. Margaret Waddell nee Beggs (husband James) who died after Jan 12, 1876. She was born July 1796
3.  Margaret Richardson nee Beggs who died between Feb 1876 and Apr 1880, possibly 1879.
Thanks for any help

I found the date of death of Margaret Richardson, nee Beggs.  It was Apr 18, 1879 and she was a widow at the time so her husband Robert Richardson died before her, probably between 1876 and 1880.

You can search headstones in Kilbride cemetery on http://www.discovereverafter.com/ though I had a quick look and didn't see the people you are looking for.

Peggy. Saw your post on Ancestry but I'm not registered there so found you on Rootschat.
I noticed that Robert Beggs married Jane Waddel on 8 Dec 1819 in Ballyeaston.
Also found a possible brother of Margaret, baptised on 26 Jan 1820 in Ballyeaston (father Robert Beggs).
Both First and Second Ballyeaston Presbyterian Churches seem to offer help to trace ancestors in their Churches. Have a look.
I'm sure you know that GRONI records can now be accessed online. For £2, records of BMD can be searched at no cost until you wish to view the actual records which will be £2. No need to send off form to Roscommon or anywhere else. Excellent value.
I found a death of Margaret  Richardson, Reg Antrim , 18 April, 1879. May be your kin.

If you click on Peggy's profile then show posts (on left side of page and then select topics you can see all the threads she's started- quite a few concern Beggs family.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hello Fadge,
Looks like I didn't reply to your message at the time. Yes,it was my Margaret Richardson that died Apr 18, 1879. And yes, Robert Beggs and Jane Waddell had a son baptised Jan 26, 1820. This was James W. Beggs who later emigrated to Maryland.
Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Glensman,
I cannot thank you enough for the link to the website discovereverafter. I found many relatives there and know they are relatives due to who they are buried with. I discovered they are not necessarily buried together as a family, but could be mixed groups of nieces or cousins or siblings. I was able to find some dates of death and confirm others. Even find some new relationships.
Thanks again

Just to let people know, I did get the death certificate for Margaret Beggs nee Boyd. She died Nov 18, 1898. Thanks one and all for your help.
That means I only have one more Margaret Beggs to find and that would be Margaret Waddell nee Beggs who died after Jan 12, 1876. I will keep looking.
