I would appreciate advice on how I might establish from which community in Derry/Londonderry my ancestors originated.
According to the Scottish 1851 Wigtownshire census, Agnes, Elizabeth, George, Sarah, Martha, Mary and William MANN were born in Ireland between about 1834 and 1849 to James Mann and Janet LOUGHRIE. Agnes Mann specified Co Derry/Londonderry in 1871-1901 Wigtownshire censuses as her birthplace so I am hoping that the rest of the family came from the same place.
Mother Janet was apparently born in Portpatrick, Wigtownshire, but her father Henry Loughrie was Irish, born abt 1771 (from 1851 Census).
The Loughrie name has been spelled LOCHARY, LOUCHIE, LAWRIE in later documents which has slowed tracing the family somewhat!
Regards, Michael.

I also have Mann and Loughrey relations from Co Londonderry. I don't know if they are connected to yours but I can give you locations to check out.
My gt gt gt grandfather's sister Thomasina Church married Henry Mann of Castledawson in the south of the county, who would be the same sort of age as your James Mann. Henry and Thomasina had a inn/hotel at Hillhead outside Castledawson and also farmed. Their only child I know of is William Church Mann who died in 1893.
Henry Loughrey of Ballykelly was my gt gt gt gt grandfather in another line. Ballykelly is on the shores of Lough Foyle in the north of the county, near Limavady. His daughter, my gt gt gt grandmother Elizabeth, married Robert Blair and moved to Aghadowey near Coleraine. She died in 1907 aged 97. I suspect that her father was the Henry Loughrey who married Anne Doggett in Tamlaght Finlagan parish church in 1806, but can't be 100% sure as Loughrey was a common name in the area (Ballykelly village is in the parish of Tamlaght Finlagan).
Hope this helps.
-
Thank you for those suggestions, I will try and follow them up.
May I ask how you found the information you have - were you able to find it on the web, or did you have to visit a local records office in the region?
Best regards, Michael.
-
My primary source in both cases was oral history in the family. The names Henry and Loughrey were used in later generations of the Blair family which kept the memory alive. The Mann connection was established from letters in the possession of my uncle between his father and the Mann family. I have found some corroboration in church records in Ballykelly (both the Church of Ireland and Presbyterian records go back to the 1700s and are available on microfilm). Additional information on the Manns was available in old newspapers (Coleraine Chronicle and Londonderry Sentinel births, marriages and deaths available on cdrom from Coleraine Family History Society http://www.coleraine-fhs.org.uk/ ) and wills (see will abstracts on PRONI website http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/search_the_archives/will_calendars/wills_search.htm ).

Thanks to these posts I now know that my gt gt gt grandparents were Henry Mann and Thomasina Mann (nee Church). Does anyone have more information on this couple (BDM dates, parents names etc)? Also, I have found some good information on their son William Church Mann, but I haven't been able to find his wife Margaret's maiden name and the date of their marriage. Can anyone help?
-
Hi Overmann
I have lots of stuff on the Church side of the family and a copy of William Church Mann's will, but like you don't know Margaret's maiden name. Thomasina's parents were William and Anne Church (my gt gt gt gt grandparents) and she died on 26 June 1861 (born around 1790). Once you have made 2 more posts I can PM you more details. Look forward to swapping info.

Thanks Akanex2
So that makes William and Anne Church my gt gt gt gt grandparents as well! The Church name has been carried on within the family since then and I have an uncle with Church as a middle name. I also have a copy of William Church Mann's will and his son's (Henry Church Mann). Look forward to swapping info.
Thanks again

Our Lawrie ancestors came sometime between 1846 adn the 1860s from Ireland back to the Lanarkshire coalmines. With a long tradition of them being Scots we were surprised to see them listed as from Ireland on the 1871 census... Can you see any connections with your Lawries.
BTW I also found out that a Robert Laurie and his family were granted land to build up the area around Pomeroy during the Ulster Plantations.... no link for me yet...

Hi stuartk
Henry Church Mann and Margaret Anne Hanson Ellis are my gt grandparents. They had 11 children (that survived to adulthood) - my grandfather John Hercules Ellis Mann emigrated to Australia just before WW1. Over the intervening century my family lost touch with all the other descendants of Henry and Maggie, until last year when my husband and I began to track them down. We now have quite a bit of info on Henry and Maggie and their family, but only a tiny amount on the Hanson/Ellis branch. We would be delighted to share our findings with you. After you make 2 more posts we can PM you.
Best wishes, overmann

Great news to hear from you I have been researching the 'Hanson family" for many years now and every now and then I have good news like this.
Mary Hanson (daughter of William Hanson and Jane Rankin of Ballylintagh ,Aghadowey Co Derry ,my 4th gt uncle ) married Daniel Ellis from Crossmancanly .I believe the date was 1845. They both died young as did two of their children. I lost track of Margaret some time ago. Was there a brother James who survived ?
Margaret is mentioned in the will of her "aunt Peggy" (for whom she was named) who died in 1863
I send a photo of the Hanson Farm in Macosquin where Margaret's father was born
Look forward to hearing from you
-
Hi stuartk
Thanks for the photo, it looks like a lovely property.
According to our records Daniel and Mary married on 4 October 1845. Our records show that Margaret Ellis' siblings, James and Jane, both died young. We have no record of another sibling.
If William Hanson is your 4x gt uncle, then would George and Margaret Hanson be our first common ancestors (my 4x gt grandparents)?
Here's a photo of Margaret Anne Hanson Mann (nee Ellis). My Grandfather carried this photo and a lock of her hair half way around the world with him. Apparently, she was adored by all her children.
We look forward to swapping more info.
-
Dear Overmann
She was very pretty , thank you for the photo
You probably have this info already from the Coleraine Chronicle
28 aug 1852 on the 24th inst suddenly Mr Daniel Ellis of Gortaclanny Cottage, Kilrea ,aged 32 years ,deeply regretted by a large number of friends
15 Jun 1861
At her residence Gortaclanny , near Kilrea on the 6th inst Mary relict of the late Daniel Ellis aged 36 years
23rd May 1863
At the residence of his uncle George Hanson Esq of Ballylintagh on the 14th inst, James, son of the late Mr Daniel Ellis, Gortaclanny
20 feb 1864
at the residence of her uncle George Hanson Esq of Ballylintagh on the 11th inst Jane Rankin eldest daughter of the late Mr Daniel Ellis aged 16 years.
Please let me know if you have this info as I have other death notices for the Ellis family
I enclose a picture of the house of George Hanson, remodelled from his father William's house. He lived here with his wife Isabella Steen .George unfortunately died in 1867 and the house was sold.This is where the unfortunate James and Jane Rankin Ellis died.
George and Isabella had one surviving daughter whose was also called Jane Rankin.she married but had no children
Coincidentally the house is now lived in by the Kennedy family who are descendants of Isabella Steen's second Husband.
I realise I may be giving you information the you already have
It is a pleasure however to share this information with someone
Regards Richard
-
Just to throw in a few more bots-m Thomasina Mann was born 1 Jan.1878 (not 1874)- her sister Mary Mann was born 18 Jan.1874.
The Hanson place at Macleary (in the lovely old phtograph posted here) was knocked down about 10 years ago and a new house built on the site.
I have 4 children listed for Mary Hanson and Daniel Ellis- from information given to me and not verified- James (died 1863), John, Mary Jane (possibly same as Jane Rankin?), Margaret Ann (married Henry Church Mann).
-
Hello This is Richard Kerr here, thanks for the corrections.
Yes I did know about the house being knocked down in fact when I was there last I couldn't believe it. How can the local council give permission for such destruction ! However they have left the old stables at least and most of the trees.
I also have a record for John Ellis son of Mary Hanson and Daniel Ellis.
-
The old house was lovely to look at but not in good shape- I know there was a leak in the kitchen area (coming from the roof and appearing mysteriously on ground floor but unable to find the problem) but can't remember exactly what the other things were (dry rot, wet rot, etc.)
Will contact you later by PM now that you have enough posts.
-
Thanks aghadowey. Do you have any dates (bmd) or other info for John Ellis, son of Daniel Ellis and Mary Hanson?
According to notes typed by my grandfather's sister in 1933, Daniel's father John (Jack) Ellis (my gt gt gt grandfather) was a farmer and the proprietor of Toome Eel Fisheries. Apparently, he and his wife Mary had 10 sons. Of these we only know of Daniel, Leslie (a farmer at Ballymaconnelly), Hugh (a doctor in Kilrea), James (a lawyer in USA), and Joshua (who fought in the American civil war). Do you have any info for this family?
-
The only information I have is what I posted- I wasn't given dates and it's the Hanson connection that was of interest so I have nothing on the Mann family.
-
Thank you for this thread! I am researching Martha Hanson, sister of Mary. Martha married John McCandless and moved to Philadelphia. Martha's other siblings were Margaret (Peggy) Hanson who died in 1863 (referenced in the thread), William Marcus Hanson, and George. Martha Hanson is my 4th great grandmother. I have incorrect dates for her father... does anyone have more information on the Hansons?
Thanks for posting the pictures!!! They are wonderful!
-
Hello,
I am a descendant of George Hanson Of Macleary, Macosquin, Co Derry, Martha Hanson's grandfather I have been trying to find out for years now where Martha Hanson & John McCandless ended up !
I have one photo from Philidelphia in my Hanson Album. I wonder if this could be a connection with your family ?
I have done extensive research on the the Hanson family in Ireland (where I was born) .
I would be delighted to share information with you and I am intrigued after all of these years to find out more about Martha HansoRegards Richard
-
I'd love to see that picture, we have none! Martha and John came to Philadelphia in 1848 with their children. I'm a descendent of their oldest son Samuel. I will email you so we can exchange information!

Hello! I'm Shelly, Dana's sister and I am so thrilled that she was clever enough to find this website and connect with you, Stuart. I have been researching the McCandless family for a while now and this is just too exciting! I have been to Northern Ireland several times, but never knew where to look. I am really looking forward to the three of us combining what we know and connecting all those loose ends. :)
-
Dear Overmann,
Margaret A.H. Ellis Mann is my great x4 grandmother Martha McCandless' ( nee Hanson) niece. It is so exciting to see a picture of her, thank you for sharing that. I am currently researching the McCandless and Hanson families and would love to share what I have found.

General Question: Are the Coleraine Chronicle archives on-line, and if so, what do I need to do to access them?
Thanks! ;D
-
The Coleraine Chronicle (and the rest of the Coleraine papers) are not available online. Coleraine Library, Queen St., does have microfilmed copies.
-
Thank you, I was afraid of that. :) I appreciate the quick response.
-
Hi ,
I have just sent some more photos to Dana. These are the only "Hanson Album" photos from Philadelphia
unfortunately there are no names on the photos.
Although Martha Hanson was just a first cousin of my Gt GT grandmother ,Anne Hanson,it is possible that they corresponded .
William Hanson, Martha's father died in 1856 and his wife Jane Rankin 17 feb in 1850 They have a large tombstone in St Marys Church of Ireland graveyard in Macosquin .
Although there were presbyterians all the older generations of Hansons are buried there.
Regards Richard
-
Thank for the information. I'll circle 'round with my sister soon and see those pictures. :)
If I may ask, are you currently in NI? Please feel free to email me. :D
-
I am not living in NI, I have still family there,brothers and sisters etc.
Your sister has my email I don't have yours.

A quick question in those Hanson's related to the Killowen Hanson's
Quite likely connected as William Hanson's (c1806-1880) children baptisted at Macosquin Presbyterian Church. There were also other Hansons in Coleraine who might have been connected.
-
Because i know of a William Hanson 1864 that married Martha Jane Park in 1888 in Killowen Parish and in 1901 living in 36 Chief Street, (Shankill Ward). On William Park married a Margaret Sarah Wilton and one
Martha Jane Park and William Park parents Robert Park and Sarah Gough
Margaret Sarah Wilton related to the current Hanson's from Killowen.
As for the old Hanson/Kennedy house at the top of the Ballylintagh Road, if my Granny was still alive she could of told some stories about them because she used to work for them.
As for my mum she was always scared of John Kennedy bull Paddy. My Granny and that used to live in front of the old Ballylintagh Graveyard
-
The Killowen Hansons I'm talking about were Presbyterian. There were other Hansons in Coleraine that belonged to Killowen Parish Church (Church of Ireland).
What was William's father called?

William Hanson's parents was George Hanson and Isabella Steen
-
William Hanson's parents was George Hanson and Isabella Steen
Sorry but that can't be correct.
George "Big George" Hanson (died 1867) married (1863) Isabella Steen (c1848-1928)- children:
1. George Hanson (1861-1862)
2. William Marcus Hanson (1864-1865)
3. Janet Rankin Hanson (1866)- only child who survived infancy, married & had no family so this branch of the Hansons died out long ago
4. George Hanson (1867-died young)

It seems as though you are going by extracted LDS records which are not complete.
According to family notes William Marcus Hanson died 28 Sept.1865. He is listed on the family gravestone in St. Mary's (Macosquin) Church of Ireland with just the years 1863-1865.
Note: the first record should be Boveva.
-
Thought I had a death notice for infant William-
Coleraine Chronicle, 30 Sept.1865: At Ballylintagh, parish of Aghadowey, on the 28th instant, of bronchitis, William Marcus, only son of George Hanson, Esq., aged 15 months.
The family have been extensively documented and researched by both Hanson and Steen connections.

Hi I have just came across this thread. I am 1 of the "Killowen Church of Ireland Hansons" and I am just wondering if anyone has any information on them? My 2x great grandfather was George Hanson who married (I'm almost certain) Mary mcalary, my great grand father was Tommy Hanson who married Mary mcgonigle and my grand mother was Maree Hanson.
Thank you in advance for any info at all will be greatly appreciated

Apologies regarding dates I'm not at all sure, though I do know that George Hanson on the census at Queen Street isn't him, quite sure it is his son. He had a son Thomas born 1915 (my great grandfather) he also had a son who was the Reverend Victor Hanson, Robert Hanson, Samuel Hanson.

Sorry Thomas Hanson was 13th December 1914.
George Hanson had a family to Martha Hill as far as I am aware (I am unsure what happened to her) he then had a family (my connection) to Mary flemming née darragh who he married, I am assuming her first husband had died. She was my great great grandmother but she was burried with her first husband William flemming.

Looks like the family was split up either when mother Martha died or perhaps before that is she was unwell.
-
I can't thank you enough for all of that info, so quickly too! Greatly appreciated.
It does look like the family was split which would make sense as to why although we knew there was a connection we didn't ever have any actual comings and goings. There's certainly some children like lizzie and Rachel I had never even heard about. It's very sad but totally understandable given the hardships of them times.
-

A lot of new information for you to take in, Leannemary87 :)
George was left with a house of young children when wife Martha died in 1909 and likely had to make arrangements for their care while he was working so it's not surprising that children were separated at least for a while.
Think I've found a bit more but have to get it typed out.
-
So much information but it's well welcomed. I look forward to seeing the further information thank you
-
Something I have just noticed.
Mary E. Darragh would you have any idea what the E would stand for? It's just that on her sons gravestone it also says
Rev Victor E. Hanson.
I assumed his middle name possibly but now I've noticed the same E in his mother's name.
-
Marriage just has her middle initial 'E.'
Victor's wife died a few years ago. Do you have her obituary? if no, I can send by PM (Personal Message).

I've gone back and done a family outline for you to help make it a bit clearer-
