Antrim / Seeking Beggs Crawford Lineages, Ballycor
« on: Wednesday 02 September 15 22:14 BST (UK) »
Greetings to all, this is my first post.
Some time ago, in a reply to a post by Peggy, someone referenced the marriage of David Beggs and Sarah Crawford, residing in Balyalbana, Ballycor. I can find no further follow-up on any threads. This couple are my great grandparents. I have my lineage to them established and some information on their their seven children.
According to the Register of Marriages David and Sarah were wed the 12th of June, 1874 in Raloo Presbyterian Church. He was Full Age and she was 19. They both resided in the Ballyalbana (so spelt) townland at the time of marriage. Their fathers were respectively: James Beggs, labourer and Samuel Crawford, farmer, likely resident in Ballyalbana too. The witnesses present were Sanderson Bamford and Eliza Bamford, likely friends and/or relatives of the families.
What I would like to be able to do is trace out the lineages of James and Samuel. Who were their spouses, parents, siblings, etc.? Indeed I'd like to see if I can link any of them into any existing family trees, or at least find out additional information that with help me trace my lineage further back.
Thank you for your interest and any contribution that you can make.
Bill
