Hi,

My g g grandmother was Elizabeth Boyle, born 5/3/1829 in Drumgask (Seagoe). She had three younger brothers, James (1831), William (1836), and Isaac (1842).There may have been more siblings and by the time Isaac was born the family had moved to Tirsogue (Tiersogue, Shankill, Lurgan Rural). Elizabeth's father was John Boyle, a tenant farmer, and her mother was Margaret Levingston. John was still alive and had a farm tenancy in Tirsogue at Griffith Valuation. He also had a sub-tenant, John McConnell. 

All of the Boyles mentioned above, except John and Margaret, moved to Scotland where the males worked as coalminers in Lanarkshire. Elizabeth married a James Smith some time before 1851 and the marriage would have taken place in Ireland. James was killed in 1862 in a mining accident in Scotland, and Elizabeth re-married my g g grandfather, Charles Walker. Charles was also born in Ireland, but his birthplace remains unknown despite extensive research.

Does anyone have any further info on any of the people referred to above? I would be very much obliged to here from anyone who has researched them or who has any knowledge of them whatsoever.

Hi, New to this, and am going for what appears to be a very long shot. I'm trying to find a marriage between Thomas Walker, my g g g grandfather, and a Martha Richmond, about 1825. They were Presbyterian, possibly from Craigs Parish.  Their son, Charles Walker, born about 1827, moved to Scotland about 1850 and worked as a coalminer. The family has been in Scotland since that date.

Appreciate there may not be much scope, but any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
