Antrim / Harbison/Herbison
« on: Wednesday 04 November 09 17:11 GMT (UK) »
I am at a bit of a brick wall. My great grandfather Gordon Harbison was born in about 1861 in Dungall area. He married Nancy Ann McCullough in 1894 at the Cullybackey Presbyterian church, so I know his fathers name was Hugh. He also had a half brother Samuel Wilson who erected a tombstone in Kirkinriola in memory of his father James and mother Elizabeth. I know that an Elizabeth Kenny marries a Hugh Herbison on Dec 11, 1848 in Ballymena 1st presbyterian church and an Eliza Herbison marries James Wilson on 27 Feb 1868 in Wellington St Presbyterian Church. I have had no luck finding out if these are one and the same Elizabeth/Eliza and I have also had no luck finding a death entry for Hugh Harbison or a birth/baptismal entry for Gordon. The family was presbyterian and in 1851 Hugh and Elizabeth were living in Carnbeg Townland, Dunaghy Antrim. Other family members were Thomas, Sarah, Matilda and Matthew. Only Matilda and Matthew were born after Hugh/Elizabeth marriage, so I assume that Hugh had a previous marriage. If there is anyone that can help shed light on this I'd really appreciate it!
