Antrim / Re: William Campbell/Ann McFall 1884 Clintyfinnan

Hi, just a quick query. I did find a reference to a William Campbell listed as a tenant of Ellen Moore in Upper Ballycregagh (Barony of Upper Dunluce). But because i'm not sure what all the terms mean i don't know if this is my William Campbell, or how i go about finding out. (There are also no references to any McFalls either).
And in the section where it lists description of tenancy it says 'house', but others say 'Bog', and what looks like HoofsHand!!! Is that right?

Hi aghadowey, no there's no place of birth on the marriage cert, and i haven't actually tried to look for her death cert which may have it. I know she died after the 1930s because my uncle remembers her. But i think the record you have found must be her as her parents were married in the parish of Loughguile in the Registrar District of Ballymoney.

Thanks for your efforts. According to the 1911 census William (50yrs) and Ann (47yrs) are living in Haggs/Bonnybridge with Elizabeth Kelly aged 15 who is working as an envelope maker in an Explosives Works. She is referred to as adopted, and her place of birth is recorded as Lanark, followed by what could be ?Partic. There's writing over the top of it unfortunately. The couple have 2 young children living with them, William (4yrs) and Margaret Ann (1yr), who i have found are the illegitimate children of their daughter Margaret Ann. She married Henry Thomson in January 1911, and she is living with him by the time of the census, leaving her illegitimate children with her parents.
The census also states Ann had 2 children, 1 living- this is Margaret Ann.
Just to clarify, i was getting names mixed up- when i originally posted Ann Kelly, it was in fact Elizabeth.

Hi aghadowey, thanks so much. I think you are right- this certainly seems to be them!By finding out this much, does it lead us to other information in Antrim?

Hi, sorry, i really don't have a lot to go on. All i can add is that both fathers were classed as labourers on the marriage cert. William Campbell was 25 when he married, and Ann McFall was 21. I don't yet know when they moved to Scotland, although they don't seem to appear on the 1901 census, but they are there on the 1911 census. At that time they are employed, William as a fireclay labourer, and Ann as a Brickworker. I also don't know how they came to adopt Ann Kelly.
On the marriage cert there are no witnesses recorded- it's a very basic document :-(
many thanks

Antrim / William Campbell/Ann McFall 1884 Clintyfinnan
« on: Saturday 19 October 13 15:32 BST (UK) »
Hi, i am just starting out investigating family of mine in Antrim and i would very much appreciate some help to get going.
The only record i have is a marriage certificate between William Campbell and Ann McFall 14 March 1884. They were both registered as living in Clintyfinnan, Parish of Loughguile. William's father is also William, and Ann McFall's father is recorded as Robert John McFall.
William and Ann later moved to Haggs, Stirlingshire. They are on the 1911 census there along with adopted daughter Ann Kelly.
If anyone can help with providing more information or advice, i would really appreciate it. I hope to visit PRONI at some point next year.

My sister lives in one of the farm cottages at Mungoswalls! They were originally single storey terraced cottages but were renovated and a first floor was added.
