Looking for any entries for the Long family of Drumsurn Lower and Upper, the lands owned march on the south of Lower to the North of Upper.
I have a Robert Long (1801-1859) who had at least two sons James 1837 and Samuel 1839
Robert is on Griffiths and name crossed out to James Long. John long in Upper was son of William Long ( died before 1863) he married and move to Galliagh in Londonderry.
But the Tithe of 1828 has Matthew Long in Upper and Lower, Samuel Long and Samuel jnr in Lower, William in Upper and William jnr in Lower and Upper. The 1831 census has f families - William and Matthew in Lower, and William, Widow and Samuel in Upper.
The family were Pres. except Samuel ( son of Robert 1859) who married a Rc and moved to Galliagh.
Is there any baptismal records for Balteagh Pres before 1864 and is there any burial transcriptions of the graveyard. I don't know how to figure out who belongs to what family.
Thanks

Trying to sort out the Boyce family of Cah townland.
I have a 2 Thomas Boyce's from Griffiths valuation - one a farmer, one a carpenter.
The farmer definitely had David born 1842 married Jane McLaughlin of Cah, later moved into Coleraine.
and possibly a Hugh.
Thomas, the farmer, might have had a father Robert - who had another son Robert who married Hester Moody, possibly a Matthew married Eliza Young (he died 1867 aged 48)
Are there any baptisms which might sort out the family or is anybody researching the Boyce family of this area.
I cannot figure out Thomas the carpenter.

Sidney McC. Hamilton was born in Dungannon, N. Ireland in 1911 he married Eileen Rose Patterson in 1941 in Belfast - he was a headmaster of a primary school in Mossleyuntil 1974.
Two children - (*) born 1949 and (*) born 1955 both in Co Antrim.
Upon retirement family moved to Troon - Sidney died there 1997, Eileen his wife died 2007 - lived at 11 Fraser Avenue in Troon.
Is there a wills index to cover the two death years ?
Were there any death notices in the local newspapers that might mention the girls ?
Presumably both buried in Troon ?
Cannot find any mention of a marriage or death for the girls on Scotlands People.
Trying to find these two girls and their families.
Many thanks

John William Hamilton ( a coalmaster) married Agnes Robina McGregor Smith in 1884 in Glasgow.
They lived at Albert Road, Cathcart.
He died 11 Dec 1893 - she died 29 May 1895.
They left four children - James born 1884, Agnes 1886, John William 1887 and Margaret McQueen Hamilton born 1889. all born Cambuislang - the eldest child was aged 11 years when his mother died.
Both parents left a will, and inventories, with substantial bequests.
I had presumed that the children would have been looked after by one of their aunts or uncles.
On the mothers side - NO
Same for the fathers side - I have researched each aunt and uncle on the 1891, 1901 census - none of the above children were with them in 1901.
The scottish origins web site search engine is pretty hopeless for looking for an indivudial on the census, no birth location is mentioned until you purchase the census extract - so it makes it rather difficult to try and find any of these children.
Has anyone any ideas of how to search for them ??
Many thanks - David Beck
