Time for the annual dusting off of my brickwalls to see if anything new has come up.
I start at the marriage of Robert Davidson to Eleanor McCullough on 26 February 1862 • Rathmullan Church of Ireland, Rathmullen, County down
By license. Witnesses William Murphy & Benjamin Robinson
He resided at st Johns Point Killough.His father is given as Arthur Davidson labourer.
I have also found an Arthur Davidson of St Johns Point with a father Arthur Davidson, labourer so am assuming this is his brother. I have also found three other possible siblings Ellen, James and Mary Jane. I can follow these people forwards but am no further forward on finding Arthur senior or who was his wife or any other info going backwards. I have been to Killough and looked at the Killough church parish records and can find no Davidsons appearing earlier than these dates so think they moved into the area but where from? Downpatrick or further afield?
Eleanor McCullough father was Joseph Mccullough shoemaker of Killough. Again I have made no prgress in going backwards from her.
Any help in breaking down these brickwalls gratefully received.
