Re: James TODD & Ellen BALLANTYNE
I am looking for the ancestors/family of Henry James TODD b. cir. 1845 m.1866 Drumglass Parish to Anne Eliza GRAY b. cir. 1848.
Henry died in Apr 1897 at Cronkbourne, Isle of Man. Anne died Jan 1899, Cronkbourne, Isle of Man.
Henry’s father, as stated on his marriage certificate, was James TODD, Farmer.
Given the proximity of Dunagheady to Drumglass & Dungannon, and James’ death 10 Oct 1877, am I looking in the right place for Henry’s people?
Where James possibly had brothers Steven, Arthur & Samuel - Henry had sons: Henry (b.1871), James (b.1873), Samuel (b.1878), John (b.1880), Andrew (b.1883) & Albert Arthur (b.1889). Also daughters: Anne Eliza (b.1869), Sarah Jane (b.1876), Lavinia (b.1885) & Annie (b.1892).
Anne, Henry, James & Albert Arthur were born in Belfast, Sarah Jane in Yorkshire, & the others at Cronkbourne on the Isle of Man.
Henry made his living as a weaver - working in Belfast, Settle (Yorks), and Tromode (IOM).
