i mainly used emerald ancestors .i only had the name jane as a wife for william senior and  the possibility of eliza jane hamilton for william junior ( i know there are Hamiltons somewhere connected with Bailies  at a later date) however the year of marriage 1882 won't fit . can't work out who william married to catherine warmington is though. i do know that margaret bailie is john's cousin .her father was hugh and charlotte who also had joseph, mary,charlotte and sarah. margaret married david donaldson and had about 6 kids. they also lived in a house in the same row as john and agnes, samuel and sarah. i have a photo of the remains of it.
the warmingtons are on my granda's side.  sarah warmington married john wilson and had david my grandfather and margaret jane who also married a mccomb.   all still in the newtown hamilton/ tullyvallen area.
i will keep looking to see if i can find any samuel bailies in my info

 i have left you some info on the creggan history site. if you don't get it let me know. my great grandfather was john bailie born 1851 tullyvallen  and i think samuel was either a cousin or brother , according to 1901 census , john and a samuel  were living next door to each other. i have photos of "my" bailie house in which my grand mother was born.

am having difficulty finding the marriage of my great grandparents, so any help would be greatly appreciated.the info i have is alexander johnston  born 1852 in co armagh ,n ireland  and annie gibson also from co armagh  went to  america. i think they met there  but i don't know where they were living when they married. i think the date of marriage was about 1890    as on the 1901 census  it says they were married 21 years.   their 3 daughters were  born in philadelphia  in 1891,1892 and 1894.  they were back living in ireland by 1901.  they were presbyterian.   annie was born in 1853, her father was james gibson. i don't know the name of alexanders father, was hoping this would be on the marriage cert.

the  date of birth is correct,  i hadn't heard of him being called Houston before but i will check it out with family  as he has grand children still in co armagh,   as he left behind 5 children in the care of their grandparents when he went to chicago.
thanks for you help

thank you for the quick response and for the info.  he was one of 6 brothers,  my grandfather was the Thomas mentioned and his other brother Herbert in ireland had died before1961. i think i can then assume that his other brother samuel died before him as well.
