Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Surnames of Magilligan parish

Hello!

Regarding the information located, and elsewhere, if an image is not online but through Family Search it indicates the image, source and reference numbers, will going to the LDS Facility provide any more information than what is provided on line?  Thanks!

I can say that I have been lucky in the "translation" of the Nougher, Nocher, Knoughar / various spelling of this last name.   I used familysearch.org for the births & christenings quite some time ago and only recently came back to this name (I am also searching Jones in England and Kessler in Germany).  I tried the new beta format and was given the Knoughar adaption. I was hoping it would coincide with some of the already speculative information I possessed.
Alexander was listed on the 1900 cenus with his brother Thomas (my direct line) so I had to work backward. 

The naming of the first son after the father or wife's fathers' name is a challenge.  Now I have a step back in time that will help me move forward.

Thanks!  :D

Thanks again!

Thanks to all for the direction! 

Will check the LancashieBMD and see what I can match up.  As the IGI states Margaret, I will need to research other name interchanges - similar to a Mary/Marie/Maria situation.

Appreciate the help- off to search!

Lancashire Lookup Requests / GUEST, Margaret
« on: Saturday 18 April 09 02:06 BST (UK)  »
Evening All:

I am stuck with my ancestor, Margaret GUEST, born 1806 in Worsley, Lancashire.  I have no information on her except for her marriage info.

   Margaret GUEST m. Thomas HINDLEY on June 9, 1836 at St. Mary's Deane
        Parish.   (Confirmed by microfiche look-up at a kind soul).  Birth of
        Margaret is noted in IGI post on LDS records.  Need to order certificate.

   Children: 

        Mary Guest Hindley  b. 1837
        Elizabeth Hindley     b. 1839
        Jane Hampson Hindley b. 1842 (my 3x great-grandmother)
             m. Albert James Jones, Leigh, in 1869.  Immigrated 1887 to USA
        John W.G. Hindley   b. 1846

The HINDLEY and JONES line are coming along well -- I am now trying to fill in some gaps with the women that married into the family.

Thank you for any assistance.

Greetings!

I am looking for information on Ellen Nougher/McKnougher/Nocher/Noger who married Thomas Murphy in the mid-1800's. 

Her name as been spelled differently on each Family Search IGI birth listings for their children Thomas, Alexander, Elizabeth, Anne and Ellen.  Supposedly the children were born in Antrim - 

Any ideas? Thanks!

Anne:

Thank you very much for your rely and all I can say is WOW!!!!   :-*
I read your email early this morning and it has taken me all day to calm my excitement in order to respond!  Thank you!

Yes, I am a direct descendant from Albert James, b. 1849, d. 1887. 
His son, William Henry had Norman Henry (my grandfather), had William Henry Jones (my dad), named after his grandfather.  There are only 3 girls in our family. 

       James Jones m. Elizabeth (?)
       son: Albert Nutting Jones m. Mary Monington
                son: Albert James Jones m. Jane Hindley
                        son: William Henry Jones m. Maria Augusta Munro
                                son: Norman Henry Jones m. Reba Laudermilch
                                        son: William Henry Jones m. Kathleen Murphy
                                                daughter: Debra Jones m. John Strezenec
                                                daughter: Sharon Jones Marco (div)
                                                daughter: Jennifer Jones (div)         

We have confirmed the line through marriage certificates from England so we know we are on the right track.  My grandfather Norman's siblings were all over the country - California, Florida, New York, etc. and he wasn't overly close with all.  I know Norman was very close to his brother Albert in California.

My sister Jennifer and I have been researching for about 2 years on this line - my dad had written us a quick family tree and we were motivated.  It had been done on a whim and we are hooked!  The chart is in his handwriting and will be an heirloom for the family album.  Besides being very, very helpful in our searches.

We have been able to touch base with descendants Mary Monington, wife of Albert Nutting, as well as the Munro line.  The Hindley line has been slow in researching.  The Munro line has been traced back to the early 1600's!

So true about Albert having an unusual name and it would have been easier had James lived passed the census date.  We have been stumped with Elizabeth's name - even with microfilms  and knowing that her maiden name would not be readily available.  Thank goodness for websites like these - they have been priceless!

Jennifer and I would love to hear and share what we have . Please email me  or Jennifer Moderator comment: e-mail address removed to prevent spamming and other abuse.  Please use the personal message system to exchange e-mail addresses.  Thank you directly so we can swap stories and the family tree we have on-line.  I am curious of the researchers you mentioned  -   guess I need to get more binders!

Have a great day and I hope to hear from you soon!
