Hi I am currently researching two Brothers called Hugh and Daniel McCorriston who emigrated from Limavady Co Derry Ireland in 1850s and went to Hawaii I believe their Father was called either Alexander or Hugh
if you are related to these men I would love to hear from you I am aware that there is another Family member currently living in New Jersey
Thanks Gerald

I have a picture of them with no less than Robert Louis Stephenson when he visited the islands
they owned a sugar plantation which was burned down
thanks

My grand mother Annie McCorriston was born in Limavady in 1897.
Her father was Hugh McCorriston

Hi Superdee Im delighted to hear from you
My McCorriston was My Great Granny Catherine McCorriston daughter of Hugh McCorriston from Duncrun Magilligan Co Derry who married My Great Grandfather William McGill on 6th February 1869 at St Aidan's Rc Church Magilligan
it looks like were the same family tree
Best regards
Gerald

I have articles that discuss Robert Louis Stevenson and Saint Damien (of molokai) both staying with Daniel and Ann McCorriston in their Molokai home, if you are interested. My husband is from their daughter, Sarah's line who married Edward Dunn.

I am also researching the McCorriston family from the Magilligan/Bellarena area. My grandmother was Bella McCorriston born 1895/96. Her father was Hugh McCorriston born 1855 and she had a sister Annie born 1897/98. Her first marriage was to a Matthew Clyde in 1916 then after his death she married my grandfather John McKinney from Killure.
I am hoping to find any details about Hugh who married Annie Ferris in 1877, possibly his parents names or siblings,if any, and the parents or siblings of Annie Ferris
