Family History Beginners Board / Re: Parks of Cambuslang
« on: Wednesday 17 April 24 02:19 BST (UK)  »
Hello kennyparker:

I am a descendant of James Park and Marion Allen. There is a lot of information on the web that is false about him, ie. death dates, etc.
If you are still available, I am willing to help you with details for this family.

Antrim / Re: First name variations?
« on: Tuesday 15 August 23 01:11 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for the comments.  Nancy and Agnes have been well documented as the same person in numerous US and Canadian records. Her nieces/granddaughters, etc. etc. all used the same pattern of naming.

In Canadian records, Martha was nicknamed Matty. Two of her Aunts named their oldest daughters Matilda.  If I assume a traditional naming pattern (cautiously, though), perhaps the maternal Grandmother was "Matilda".

As for Margaret with a nickname or alias as Hannah- that does not seem realistic.

Antrim / First name variations?
« on: Sunday 13 August 23 02:25 BST (UK)  »
In County Antrim I believe that the first name "Agnes" is interchangeable with "Nancy" (from family records, numerous times).  So my question is: are these names the same:

1. Martha, Matty, Matilda
2. Margaret, Hannah

???

US Lookup Requests / 1959 obit lookup Lincoln Nebraska. Have exact date.

Looking for an obituary for a John M. Paul who died Oct. 17, 1959 in Lincoln, Nebraska. I think he was in the grain/feedlot business. Thank you.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments.
It is highly possible that James Sr. died between 1861 and 1864 as he would have been in his 70's at the time. So- no civil registration of the death, as you note, Kiltaglassan.
I need to get back to the PRONI website to check out Presbyterian or Church of Ireland records for Armoy to see what's available. But were deaths/burials rarely recorded- if at all?

It's possible that James died somewhere else but I wonder if the reason that I cannot find a death registration is because it was prior to civil registration?  Possibly 1861/62 or 63?

The W. Company of Ironmongers have a website with a search engine for past members but no James Paul's show up.

I wonder if the Armoy cemetery records are held locally by the Church?

Yes, I believe that is correct. There are only 11 Paul BMD's in all of the Ballycastle district in the Civil Registrations. 5 or 6 of them connect to this Paul family. The James that died in 1891 also had a son named James but he was born c. 1850 so he was too young (age 11) to be listed in GV in 1861 with a forge, house, etc. in Mill Five Acres.

It's the death record/notice for the husband of Margaret Paul (she died in 1878 as a widow) that I am looking for.  GV in 1861 suggests that his first name was James.
