I am deperately trying to find information on the family of Couser in Cavanacaw, Lisnadill, Armagh

James Couser born abt 1802 died 24 Feb 1882 in Cavanacw, Lisnadill, Armagh.  He was married to  Sarah Boyd born abt 1810 died 17 August 1883 at Langs Row, Armagh, Armagh.

The children I have found are

1.   Thomas (my great.great.grandfather) born about 1845 .  Married Margaret Dodde in Durham England  15 Dec 1867.  They Had two children James born about 1870 and a girl who was deceased by 1876.  I believe that the children may have been born in Armagh and that Margaret may have died there. On 24 Sep 1871 Thomas  was a widow when he married  Mary Jane Blackbird in Durham.  In 1876 Thomas, Mary & James came to Australia Thomas died in Australia 3 July 1922

2. John James Couser. Don't know when he was born.  On 25 November 1869 in All Saints , Donegal he married Ann Jane Allison.

3.  Anna Maria Couser christened in 1852 in 2nd Armagh Presbyterian Church Armagh. In 1873 married Samuel Warnock

4.  John Couser born abt 1853.  Came to Australia in 1877.  Died 14 january in Brisbnae, Queensland Australia.


There may have been more children but this is all the info that I have been able to find so far

That is my man.

I don't have anymore info for 1871 except that there are three children by then  Ada Bertha born 1860, Selby born 1863 and Blanche born 1867. Maybe they are at Pimlico as this is where the 1881 census says that Blanche was born. By the 1881 Benjamin is dead and Mary and the 3 children are at St George Bloomsbury, London.
