Have you tried Yorkshire Indexers,they transcribe headstones but if you give them what you are looking for they can very often help.

Sorry I don't have anything to add to your family research although I do have a Catherine Ward who married Charles William Garth,they were from Pudsley,their only son Charles,married my great aunt,my gran's sister.What I would like to ask is,where is the Woodhouse you mention as my great grandad and his brother were both baptized at Woodhouse in Huddersfield. Could that be the same place?

Thanks for finding that info,I don't know where you can find a map of properties but there must be one somewhere.You probably know more about where to look than I do but I will see what I can do.

Thanks John for that,I think I looked in that cemetery and he wasn't there.I will get back to you with the last address I have for him from the 1871 census.He was born and baptized in Birstal,maybe worth trying there.

Hi Jim,Thank you so much for all your work on my Gunnings. Yes I live in Glasgow and no I haven,t been to Ireland,I would very much like to visit,it depends on my health but if I can I'll try to get there this year I will.I love your story ,off to find treasure,and then finding it,just not in the way you expected.As for making a crystal radio set,I wouldn't know where to start,one of my cousins did geology at Glasgow uni,he then worked at Kelvingrove Museum and Art gallery until he retired.
My Dad regularly went to Ards as he had aunts and uncles there also a pile of cousins.These were all from his mother's side.She was Janet McMillan,born 1878 in Ards,her father was James,he was a weaver and her mother was Jane Belshaw.My dad's mother died in 1928,but he went to see his relatives as Janet had 6 siblings.I think there would have been some Gunnings in Ards but he never mentioned them.David Gunning,my dad's great uncle,was a shoe maker in Ards till he died in 1921,he had a large family but I don't know what happened to them.I did come across a Frank Gunning who lives in Conlig,his wife is Helen,no idea if he's related.
Up until Janet died she visited Ards and she took some of her offspring with her,I don't think she knew that her mother-in-law,Annie Gunning,nee McCafferty was still there.When her husband,William James died in 1920,she went to the parish for help as she had 6 kids and ,apart the eldest,James,who was 15,no-one was old enough to work.On the application she says that both her in-laws are in New Zealand!I found that Annie remarried in 1818 to John White in Ards,on the previous census she put that she was a widow!
There is one mystery I would loved solved,Annie(a)had 3 children before she married Thomas in 1877 in the Presbyterian Church in Greenwell St.William James(my grandad)in 1873,Easter(Esther) 1874 and Mary 1876.My grandad was baptized at the Greenwell st church,the other 2 I don't know where,on the 1881 census for Glasgow Easter isn't there.I have looked and looked but I can find no trace of her!
I'd like to know when Annie died but as it's after 1922 there don't seem to be any Ulster Records on line.
Why William had an expensive house, I've no idea.where was it? how did you find it?
I didn't know that Gracey,means a cobbler,I saw something in Ayrshire,where all cobblers had a face on the outside wall near the front door,there's still one house with this sign.
Nearly 2 years ago I contacted 1st Presbyterian Church to ask if they have records of BMD and I gave them the names I was interested in.The minister,Gordon,got back to me and said no bother.It transpired that an elderly man,John,is in charge of the parish records,Well the PC broke down,John said he'd sent me the records,which he hadn't,and so it went on for a year.Eventually,Gorden sent me a print out of all the records for my kin for Baptisms and marriages,which he could have done at the beginning.I'm not complaining,I thought it was funny but I was disappointed at just a print out as when I requested a marriage entry from another church I got a copy of the entry in the book.Gordon said that if I wanted the originals I would have to go in person having made an appointment first.
I won't bore you any more! I'll investigate the sites you have given me and see what I can find.
Thanks again Susan

I have just gone back over the posts and I realize I haven't really answered the post that Ballyaltkilligan posted. Drumawhey seems to be where the family lived at some point.Yes I have looked on Genes Reunited,I am not a member but I can see anything that might be relevant.Re:flax growers,I doubt if that would apply as my ancestors weren't weavers,another branch of my family were.
The cabinate maker in Donaghadee,could well be related,as I know nothing about my great x3 grandad James,he could have had brothers who had sons,there's certainly a lot of Gunnings around Co Down,Co Antrim and Co Armagh I would think they originally came to Ireland with the Plantations in the 1600s.
I have a membership to Ancestry,but like many sites most of their records are from when registration began,getting back before registration began seems to be difficult.
