Coulson of Lisburn
« on: Saturday 18 March 17 16:42 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone happen to have a tree for this family?
They were linen manufacturers who I think supplied damask to the royalty and nobility of Europe.

William Coulson d. 1851 aged 77 and was buried in Lisburn cathedral yard.
I know of five daughters (and even know a bit about some of them) but the sons have me confused.
I'd be grateful for any help.

Thanks.  I'll obviously have to make a trip to the PRONI.
That was a pleasure when it was on Balmoral Avenue,
but not any more.
