Hi I've just found out in an old letter that the Greer's outlined in
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,481258.0.htmloriginated from Tyrone somewhere. Having loooked up kinkerswell's info on Robert Greer's marriage in Woods Chapel I've found out that his father was listed as a Thomas Greer.
From the letter I have I believe that he had at least two sons, Robert who married Mary Jane Kennedy and moved to Carnmoney and a John Greer who I am informed became the propiertor of Greer's Drapery Store in Ballymena.
Robert Greer was married on 22nd September 1853 although his age at that point in time is unsure. From census records I could however stab at an approximate age of for Mary Jane as 20 in 1853 and therefore a possible DOB as 1833. I would imagine that Roberts date of bith would be somewhere within a 10 range either side of this date.
I am particularly interested in Robert's parents names, their location in Tyrone and Robert's date of birth.
In intend to return to Northern Ireland in April once PRONI is open again and it would be useful to know where to look for graves etc.
