Hi
Yes, Thomas Walker Todd died in Greerstown in 1907. That is where I grew up and some family members still live in the area. Thomas Ballantine did die on 9 March 1857. I haven't seen his will - is it in PRONI? The only siblings I have for Eleanor Ballantine are William b1805 d1885, Eliza b1810, d1903 (m William Ramage) and Jane (m William Gibson) - do the other ones you mentioned come from the will?
Jane Walker m Thomas Ballantine is not the one who died in 1928. According to my records, she died on 10/12/1866. Family tradition has it that she was the great great grand daughter of George Walker, Governor of Derry during the siege and I have a tentative line back to him.
Hannah Cunningham was born 1/1/1849 and died in 1896 in Omagh. Her parents were Samuel John Cunningham, a farmer of New Buildings and Jane Ferguson. Hannah was the second of 11 children.
Sarah Jane Hall was born 17/6/1863 in Drumagore, Londonderry and died 31/1/1951 in Greerstown. Her parents were James Hall of Drumagore and later Rockfield, Burt, Co Donegal and Elizabeth Bond of Disertowen.
She had four children with Thomas Walker Todd:
James Walker Todd b 27/8/1898, d 7/2/1986
Ellen Elizabeth (Nellie) Todd b 6/12/1901, d13/6/1926
John Hall Todd b22/2/1904, d 18/11/1905
Thomas Todd b16/2/1907, d 3/10/1987
James Walker Todd married Mary Steen (Maisie) Watson on 12/6/1933 and they had 7 children
Thomas was the only other one to marry. He married Ethel Ellen Robinson on 3/10/1950. They had no children.
