Antrim / Re: David Mack (c1797-1864) of Lisburn
« on: Friday 29 March 19 16:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Greg,
Further to Gail's comments, William Gilbert (1805-1890) whose wife was called Martha, was a silversmith, watchmaker and jeweller at High St and Donegall Sq, Belfast. I know about all his descendants, including one of his daughters Sarah Gilbert, who was my great great grandmother (and sister of Emma Gilbert mentioned by Gail).
I know that William's mother was called Sarah, born 1781. I'm pretty certain William had brothers James, born 1808 and Edward, born c1814. I don't know anything about these 2, except that both died in their 30s.
As far as I know, all these Gilberts remained in Belfast and I'm not aware of Ann Penelope Gilbert or a connection to London, so like Gail, I'm interested to know what connection you have made.

   Plenty of descendants around the world still looking at Graham Lemon and his family. His second wife Isabelle Ross, over 40 years his junior, was, as you say, a feisty lady. She was probably also a gold-digger, a nuisance to Graham's family and living well beyond her means. There are far too many stories to even begin...……………
   She died in July 1938 in Dublin and is buried in Mt Jerome cemetery, although various legal wranglings continued long after her death. I'm interested in your statement that she was imprisoned, as none of the newspaper reports I have seen have mentioned this.

Hi Gail,
That would be interesting if it's not too much trouble.

Hi Gail,
Alice was born on 25/12/1865 and her mother died on 6/01/1866 when she was just 12 days old, so almost certainly related to childbirth - maybe the reason neither of the daughters had a family. As you say, both lived well, Emma being almost 100 when she died.
Is your husband in Cyril Mack's line?

After a very busy few years I have now retired and I am just getting back into family research, so I have been trying to remind myself where I was and to see if others had produced any results in the meantime. So, the answer to your question is No.

Dr Henry Albert Gillespie was my grandfather's brother, born 23.10.1883 and died 08.03.1965. He served in France and the Balkans during WWI. Have you got all the information you wanted?

I am coming back into this conversation after a gap of over 5 years, so please forgive me!
I wonder if you have found any more information about the Lemons of Markethill, Armagh? Thomas Lemon married Annie Barklie and had at least 7 children, including Graham, William Redmond and Sarah. If Thomas had previously been married to Sarah Redmond, it would explain why the Redmond name came into the Lemon family so early (ie prior to Sarah Lemon's marriage to John Redmond)

If correct, it creates rather complex relationships with various Redmonds!

Thanks. Do you have the actual date of birth of Alice Gilbert Mack in 1865. Her mother died on 6 January 1866 and I wonder if it was related to childbirth?

I am very late entering this conversation and may be of little help!
My great great grandmother was Sarah Gilbert (1828-1910), daughter of William Gilbert a prominent Belfast jeweller and silversmith. Sarah married Rev Samuel Mateer.
Sarah's younger sister was Emma Gilbert (2 Oct 1839 - 6 Jan 1866) who was the first wife of Hugh Mack. They had 2 daughters, Emma Laura Mack (b1863) and Alice Gilbert Mack (b1865) but Emma died when they were very young. I understood from my grandmother (1893-1973) that the 2 sisters lived together in Eglantine Ave, Belfast, they never married and were rather eccentric.
Family information I have relates to Gilberts and not Macks.
