Elizabeth McCartney b.1813 lived in Belfast area
« on: Thursday 18 May 17 09:36 BST (UK) »
I would like to find Elizabeth McCartney.

Her name appears on the marriage certificate of her son Joseph Rae who married Jane Clark in Glasgow in 1855.  Her spouse was also named Joseph Rae.  The marriage certificate notes that her son was born and registered in Belfast.  Likewise, her son's wife was from Northern Ireland.  She was born and registered in Castlewellan, County Down.  The marriage of the children took place in the Church of Scotland, but there seems to be some switching back and forth from Catholic to Protestant in that line of the family.  The Rae's sometimes used Rea, and the men named Joseph sometimes used William.  I do not have much about Elizabeth McCartney and Joseph Rae themselves, but I would like to be able to find more about them and possibly trace back to their parents.

Thank you.  I thought I had tried all the possible databases, but must have missed that one.  It is likely that is them.  I am thinking maybe the estimate of Elizabeth's birthdate is a little bit off.  I might have confused the calculation with that of another Elizabeth M. from Ireland at the same time period in a different branch.
