Thanks for the links, Hallmark. There were records for several members of my family. However, when I tried clicking on Image for some of them there were no images matching the records for these people.
Also, I think I may have got the details for one of my family members incorrect, so I'll have to see about changing those.

Hi Alan, looking at the details again, you're probably right.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Hi all

I have a Margaret McCullough who married an Owens, possibly called Thomas of ballysnod

Has any one got a marriage between an Owens and McCullough possibly mid 1800's

Regards
Alan

That's interesting, because I have a Thomas Owens of Ballysnod, married to a Margaret, surname unknown. I don't have his date of birth or of death, but he was the son of William and Rachel Owens and his siblings' dates of birth were 1767, 1772 and 1777. Could this be your Margaret?

Somewhere I have a hand written note about William Owens. I don’t know who the writer was, but it indicated that he had died at the age of 103 and that he was buried in his back garden. I also don’t know the source of the writer’s information.

I have also been informed that there is a will at PRONI which corresponds to this William Owens, as it is dated 7 September 1839 and granted 28 February 1840. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any records of his birth.

That other link showed up the wrong post - this one should take you to the correct post.

This link should be proof that I did NOT get my information about William Owens from someone else’s family tree.

 I am also told that there is a will for this William Owens at the Public Record Office for Northern Ireland, but not online, so I need to contact them.

I wonder if some people are just so eager to have a massive family tree that they don’t care if the information they put in is correct or not.

Could be.  Though a lot of people from a certain country are notorious for saying/thinking "it's the same name so it must be mine" even though they can't substantiate what has happened in a 100 or 200 year gap in their records!   ::)   ::)   ::)

I think I’ll give up researching dates for William Owens and Matilda Knox. I can’t seem to find authentic information about them anywhere.
