Hello, I know this family, did much research on them as they are related. The Thomas Torrens you mention was son of Hugh Torrens, I descend from Hughs brother Samuel Torrens (c1759) of Coolneman.
The Samuel who married Morrison died, his widow Sarah later Married Isaac Stewart of Coolneman and had family.

Its been a while since I worked on genealogy but glad I found this thread.

I hope this helps

Derek.

Hello Erica, This is the boost I need riht now to get me back into genealogy. Sadly itts been a decde since I was devoted to Fmily research but that will hopefully change again as I now have more time on my hands due to ill health.

Thats a really lovely photo, very attractive lady and for her to be a sister of my Great Great Grandmther Elizabeth Dunlop I shall save and treasure this.
So nice to meet a relative working on Dunlops, never had this before.

I dont understand the Maghera link, or why your Mary Jane married there, maybe it was a change of scenery to make their day more special or maybe they were friends or related to the Minister.

In the Census is Jane, I dont see Mary Jane mentioned, but at least we get ideas of birth dates if the Jane is Mary Jane.

I sent you a PM so hope we can talk more soon.

Thanks for all this, Much appreciated cousin :)

Derek.

Hello Looks like Im a relation as well. My Great Great Grandmother was Elizabeth Dunlop (c1817 - 1901) daughter of Andrew Dunlop (c1778- 1 Oct 1851), She married James Jackson (c1817) a Baker, Garvagh..
Elizabeth had brothers
Hugh Dunlop (c1818 - 1905)
Andrew Dunlop (c1821)

sisters..
Constantia Dunlop
Mary Jane Dunlop .

I dont have much more on this line but the Dunlops had a Merchant bussiness in Garvagh Town, somewhere near the Second Garvagh Presbyterian Church.

Hello, Im glad a freind of mine informed me of this page and this message. Its seems we are related. I descend from the James Jackson (c1817 -5 Feb 1885) a Baker, Garvagh who was the son of William Jackson and Agnes Shaw/Shields of Movenis, Garvagh.

I dont have my James having any brothers named Andrew other than his Uncle Andrew Jackson brother of William and son of William.

Its interesting about Andrew moving to Galgorm, Ballymena. Our Jacksons from around Garvaqh have died out. Id love to meet more descendants like yourself to work harder at our Jackson genealogy.  ;)
