Moneypenny's Lock, Craigavon

[MissM]

Hello.

I've recently discovered a newspaper cutting from 1840 that mentions some of the Moneypennys who lived at the lock. There was a dispute over whether current resident, Rose Ann owned the house she lived in.  She was the daughter of Stephen and William, her brother was living in a newer house nearby.  Her father, Stephen was the son of old William who was the son of Matthew. 

I wonder if anyone has any further details on the family that lived here. 

I am searching for my G x 2 Matthew Moneypenny b c 1809 who I only have history for after he left Ireland.  This is the first time in 30 plus years of looking, that I have found a 'Matthew' Moneypenny in any Irish records!

Any help would be appreciated!

Matthew is shown on an online tree as being married to an Elizabeth Cretney who was from the Isle of Man. A tree also shows Matthew's father as James Moneypenny born 1782 Ireland-will need checking well of course.

Thanks Paco.  I have my Cretney line going back years but no father for Matthew.  the Matthew whose father is James sounds like my Grandad but he (James) was born in 1852.  My tree is on Ancestry.  Is that where you're looking?

That is where the tree is with James as the father of Matthew, but it is definitely 1782 Ireland for his birth date. It actually has Jas, which is short for James.

Thanks for the link to the Will Hallmark.  Very interesting.  I've saved a copy for my files.  One day it will all link up!

Paco,

I've had a look at the tree but unfortunately this person has copied it off another Ancestry Tree that hasn't got any proof or verification.

Thought I'd finally got through my 30 year old brick wall for a minute then!

Thanks for looking.
