Antrim / Re: Donegore - Bryson-Wilson
« on: Thursday 11 January 24 22:33 GMT (UK) »Agnes Boyd was a Bryson? That branch is so confusing with all those Bryson/Bryson marriages. There certainly were other families. My John W went to Belfast for Margaret Wilson and to County Down for Mary McCune.
Yup. And from your earlier message…
1909 James Bryson married Agnes Boyd (widow). This information is directly from his descendents who currently live on the Ballyvoy property.
I think the line for the Ballyvoy/Duncansland property goes like:
James Bryson (c1746-1832) m. Elizabeth (c1745-1831)
---- James Bryson (c1785-1850) m. Elizabeth (c1798-1883)
-------- James Bryson (c1826-1909) m. Agnes Boyd née Bryson (c1823-1898)
The only problem is I don’t know where James Bryson of Cove Lodge (the middle one above) was buried. I’m assuming his son the 3rd James was grandson of the 1st James because he is buried in the same plot, and he owned the same land. Another possibility is that Agnes’s father Robert Bryson was a son of the 1st James, but he was of Ballybracken so I think belongs to another branch.
