Margaret Henry
« on: Saturday 16 September 17 13:36 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for any information on Margaret Henry or her mother and farther Margaret Bartley and Hugh Henry.

Hugh Henry BORN 20 May 1827 Clonallon Parish Newry, Ireland DIED 20 May 1907 Newry, Ireland
Margaret Bartley BORN Cir 1829  DIED 9 Dec 1897 Rathfriland, Newry, Co. Down
They were married 1 Aug 1849 Newry, County Down, N.I.

They had three children

John Henry  BORN Bap. 23rd June 1850 Warrenpoint, County Down, N.I. DIED 19th August 1914 94 Upper Essex St., Toxteth Park, Liverpool he was married to Annie Mc Evoy 30 Oct 1877 Our Lady of Mount Carmel RC, Toxteth Park, Liverpool.

Mary Jane Henry BORN 21 Mar 1852 Warrenpoint, County Down, N.I. and was married to William Wagstaff 13 Apr 1879 Liverpool, St Nicholas, Lancashire, England

Margaret Henry BORN 23rd March 1856 Warrenpoint, County Down, N.I.

The only information I can find for Margaret is her birth. Margaret and Hugh have 3 children which doesn't seem very many for that period of time. On Hugh's death cert there is a Mary Ann Gilmore or Gilnare as whitness and is his grand daughter.

Can anybody help please?

Hello
I've recently started investigating my family tree and I'm looking at the Henry family tree from the Newry area. I've been trying to find out more about Hugh Henry born 1827 died 1907. He is married to a Margaret Bartley. From Magarets death cert in 1897 she died at Rathfriland, Newry, Co. Down with Hugh reporting the death. ...

I went and did a quick search before i read aghadowey replies!  Thanks as always.   Taking into account all the previous replies.  here is my contribution which might not help you much.

from
http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/down/tithe-applotment-books/clonallan-parish.php#.Wb4eFq2ZP9M

Henry, Hugh Townland: Mayo Year: 1834
Henry, William Townland: Ringmacilroy Year: 1834

from
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/i
parish Clonallan
no mention of Henry

your Hugh Henry b1827 might be the son of
1.  Hugh Henry of Mayo [ Mayo townland includes Mayobridge and is 6 miles north of Warrenpoint.
2.  William Henry of Ringmacilroy [the most southerly townland of Clonallan which includes Warrenpoint]

Ros Davies precious Co Down website
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/   has
John   HENRY   .   Clonallan   died 1687 aged 21; buried Clonallan Church of Ireland graveyard   MIs
Peter   HENRY   .   Clonallan   married Elizabeth Nicholson 3 Jan 1843 at a Clonallan Catholic Church   PR
William   HENRY   .   Clonallan   a farmer in 1881   POD

Margaret Bartley b~1829
Ros Davies has
John   BARTLEY   .   Drumgath   regd. Rathfriland; husband of Agnes Beatty; father of Martha b. 10 Oct 1869
I notice both family names have catholic and church of Ireland connections in South Downtown Sometimes C of I buried other Christians .
I notice Warrenpoint and remember that it is sometimes where events are registered and not the place lived in.
I notice Rathfriland is a further 5 miles north NNE of Mayobridge

then I find on ancestryireland. com [credits required}
HUGH   HENRY   1827   father HUGH   Down
BARTLEY   MARGARET   1849   father not named   Down   
BARTLEY   MARGARET   1849   father THOMAS   Down
running out of time try

Thank you both for your help, it's realy appreciated. Thanks also for the tips on where to look. I've just picked this family search back up after over ten years without looking, so I'm a bit rusty. But I've got the bug again. Things have moved on and there is a lot more infomation and help on Irish ancestors.
I've managed to find Hugh's birth and his mother and farther are listed as Hugh Henry and Bridget Gribben from
Clonallon; County of Down; Diocese of Dromore. Baptisms, Mar. 1827 to June 182
Catholic parish registers at the NLI, Microfilm 05497 / 06 | Page 8
so that ties in whith the info you found on ancestryireland. com.
Thanks again

Thank you for your response
Yes I have (we are related). I hadn't seen the post. We are both looking at the same tree and can't get any further back or forward. I've just been on Ancestry and found someone in America researching the Drennan family tree, he has lots of Henry's.

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/44917519/family?cfpid=6961777893&selnode=1

He has a John Henry 1774 and Jane McCully 1776 having three children Hugh, John and Robert from County Down. Hugh and John are family names. Now I know it's a long shot but this Hugh could be the Father of the Hugh Henry I have. The dates would fall in line and they are from County Down. I'll have to do more searching.
If I could prove a link then John 1774 --> Hugh about 1800 occupation as mariner from his son's wedding cert ----> Hugh 1827 (confirmed by birth records and marriage cert).

Thanks again
