Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Bonnylane (place name) Campbell
« on: Sunday 18 September 16 00:19 BST (UK)  »

Joe, thank you so much for your help.
It certainly seems a feasible explanation, they do sound similar!

John Campbell’s occupation was given as a farmer when Eliza Jane married but I suppose that could be another mistake.

Eliza Jane was born in 1835 - I haven’t found a birth record but she was 20 when she married in 1855-  so perhaps she could have been James’ aunt?

Appreciate your assistance, I’m sure I wouldn’t have come up with that myself.

I'm looking again at a birth record which I had previously ruled out as it is some distance from Londonderry.

Some of the details fit with the marriage record.

Eliza Jane Campbell born 1835 -    she was aged 20 when she married in 1855.
Father John Campbell                    same
1st Dromara Presbyterian -            same religion
The address is given as Aughnaskeagh.   

However that doesn't lead me any closer to Bonnylane!

Derry (Londonderry) / Bonnylane (place name) Campbell

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Bonnylane?
 
Bonnylane is recorded as the birth place of Eliza  ( Campbell ) McKinney on Derry City Cemetery Records.

Eliza Jane Campbell married John McKinney at Great James St, Londonderry in 1855.

Eliza’s father was John Campbell, a farmer so I’d assume Bonnylane was in a rural area.

Any ideas very welcome!

Helen, thanks for your reply.
Your branch of the family seem to be well travelled! So far mine are all in Ireland.
I'm glad you found John Allen's date of death useful, I paid for the certificate in the hope that it would help me find a birth record but I'm still looking.
I'm still a novice at this so I''ll have to be patient.
Good luck with your research.

I’m new to family research and came upon this old thread when looking for information on my Gt Gt Grandparents John Allen and Margaret Weir.
Margaret Weir of Three Trees was the sister of Helenjean’s relative Rebecca so we would be some kind of cousins?

I found from this thread  (thanks for the information ) that Joseph Weir, a farmer of Three Trees married Rachel Weir of Aught.
There was also a James Weir of Three Trees whose son Joseph was born in 1856, his mother was not named. Perhaps Joseph and James Weir were brothers.

John Allen married Margaret Weir of Three Trees in 1866. Their family were all born in Three Trees.

I’m also looking for information on John Allen. All I know is that his address was L’Derry on his marriage record, he died in 1897, aged 57 years, so was born around 1840.
His father, James Allen was a farmer. I have no idea where he was born or where his father James farmed.
Any ideas on where to look would be most welcome , I don’t live in the area so can’t check the graveyards.
