I am a descendant of Jane Ellen Christie born 27 Jun 1847 daughter of John Christie and Agnes Eliza Craik. Is this thread still active?

I would like to contact anyone who is researching the Witherow family from Londonderry County, Ireland.  I have an ancestor named Thomas Witherow born 1795 and I can find neither his parents nor any information on him in Ireland - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Christopher,

I honestly wish I knew more about Thomas Witherow.  All the information I have is that he was born in the parish of Aghadowey in 1795 and that he came to the USA in 1821 (per his naturalization papers).  Also his first wife was Jane Campbell.  They probably married around 1817/18 as their son John was born about 1819.  Jane died soon after coming to the USA and Thomas married next Nancy Patterson.  Their children were Robert, William, Thomas, James, David, Joseph and Samuel.

If you are able to research the parish records of Aghadowey.  I would certainly appreciate it.  This has been a brick wall for many, many years....

Darin




Hiya Darin,

I wonder if your Thomas was related to Hugh Witherow, a farmer at Aughlish, near Dungiven.

Hugh's son, born at Ballycastle, County Londonderry, on May 29, 1824, was christened Thomas.

My ancestor was born in the parish of Aghadowey in 1795.  His name was Thomas Witherow and he came to the US in 1821.  My question is:  How do I find his birth/Baptism record in this parish?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
