Hello REVSSS
What denomination was John Lockhart?
You'll probably have to look at church records as the first Civil registrations in Ireland were non Catholic marriages introduced in 1845. Civil registration for all other marriages as well as births and deaths was not introduced in Ireland until 1864.

There are 5 John Lockharts listed in Tyrone, N. Irland in Griffith's valuation.
3 are in Errigal Keerogue, 2 in Clonfeacle.
I have 1 John Lockhart in Ontario, Canada with at least one son Alexander born in Hagerman Twp in Muskoka and Parry Sound district. I am not sure in which country John Lockhart married to Sarah Wood was born.
Alexander married Mary Jane Givens also of Hagerman Township. Mary Jane (Jennie) is the daughter of George Givens. George was born in Millix to John Givens. There are both a John and a James Lockhart living in Millix at the time of the Griffith's valuation. This suggests the possibility the two families may have been neighbours in Ireland. George Givens later relocated to the south shore of Lake Simcoe, near Barrie Ontario.

Hi
I am looking at the Sanderson family who emigrated from Cumbria to Ontario in late 1800's and found this which may interest you.
Toronto marriages
18/3/1926 Harold Arthur Sanderson machinist age 19 of 25 Sproat St. Detroit m. Sarah Arvilla Lockhart bookkeeper age 21 of Barrie Ontario d. of Alexander Lockhart and Mary Jane Givens, witnesses Perry and Louisa Givens of 418 Kingswood Road, I haven't yet managed to find their children, if any .
Also on Genealogy.com someone has posted details of the Givens Family of Millix and Canada should this interest you.

Thank you for your post. Madeline was the only child I had in Alexander Lockhart's family. Now she has an older sister in Sarah Arvilla Lockhart, thanks to you.
It is unfortunate that I am unable to access the data you refer to at Genealogy.com. If the file goes to Millix, then my own data is incorporated there... But I wonder what is there that may have been added since I discovered the Millix data. OR did someone else discover the Millix data indepenant of my own research. That would truly be an interesting file to read.
I still wonder if these Lockharts and Givens' were neighbours in C. Tyrone.

Hi,
Genealogy.com seems a free site as far I can see, I certainly have no subscription, I just search for the site and go to surnames and search the appropriate name
