I've found a record for a Samuel Steele, born c. 1811 in Magherafelt. His children to Florilla Mitchell were Robert (1832), Mary Ann (1834) and David (1837). Could this be Robert's brother Samuel, I wonder?

Elwyn: Do you know if these records are online? If not, you couldn't do a search for me? I live in NZ, a long way away from Magherafelt!
Aghadowey: Margaret Richardson is the married name of the child who stayed in Ireland, so I suspect that this Robert may be a nephew of my ancestor. Just reading the ebook.
Thanks for the help, they were certainly Presbyterian, that much is family knowledge.
Note: Based on the names of Robert's brothers and Robert's sons' names, I'm guessing that Robert's father may be Samuel Steele and Robert his eldest son. Any matches for a Samuel Steele, married around 1807, born c. 1787? Of course, this is just guesswork, but it might help.

I have an ancestor named Robert Steele, who was born on the 21st of April 1808. 9 of his 10 children migrated to New Zealand, the eldest of which was named Samuel Steele (1838-1920). I know that Robert had a brother named Samuel Br... (unknown name) Steele who died in 1845. I suspect that Robert and Samuel's father may have been named Samuel, but I cannot confirm this.
Robert Steele married Elizabeth Brown before 1838, he died in Magherafelt. Robert owned property in Dunamoney according to Griffiths Valuation.
Robert's siblings:
Samuel Br... (d. 1845)
James (d. 1866)
Ellen (d. 1844)
presumably Margaret (d. 1858)
I would like to find out who Robert's parents were, and more about his wife. If you need the names of his children, I have them.
Thanks.

Midlothian / Elizabeth FORREST
« on: Friday 01 July 11 02:21 BST (UK) »
This woman married John Lindsay in Duddington, on June 28 1829. She had 3 children with him, namely James, William and Catherine, all Forrest Lindsay.
At the 1841 census, however, John was remarried to an Ann nee Allan, and had a son, William. This makes me think Elizabeth and her son William had died. Strangely, James was not in the household either. Catherine however was, and she was gone by 1851, aged 16.
Is there anyone who can help me find more about Elizabeth Forrest? Thanks.

Yes he did have a daughter Elizabeth, I'm her descendant. Got any more possible William Mitchells?
As I said, the only family names I can give that might be Mitchell names are Alexander and Charles, possibly John. Elizabeth is named after her mother's mother.
