Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Lighton(Leighton), Wark, Ferguson, Kid
« on: Wednesday 28 March 18 17:30 BST (UK) »
Thank you aghadowey for your input, they sure might be connected.
Will need to search them again thoroughly, maybe get lucky this time.
I do have note of the death for John McAninch in 1879 but according to his daughters Poor Law Record both parents were deceased before 1877.
HannahR.
So the father of your Hugh, Elizabeth and Jane was Hugh McAninch.
Jane McAninch/Wark death cert in 1900 age 65 shows her parents as John McNeish, Farmer deceased. Jane McNeish, previously Carmichael. M.S. Dunsmore. son Samuel Wark the informant.
On 19 Jan 1859, Ballyvennox, Macosquin, Valuation of Tenements there is a John McIninch.
He had 8 acres, house office, land which he paid £4/10- Annual rates. County, Londonderry. Parish.
Concerning the marriage for Martha McAninch m. Alexander Ovens and had-
Sarah (1868) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F5KH-9B7
They were married 14 Nov 1849, Reg Office in Colraine.
I made contact with a descendant of Martha and Alexander's in 2014.
We both assume we are connected but have failed to find confirmation.
Martha's[ b 1824c] father was John McAninch, Farmer, residing in Macosquin.
Maybe John McAninch was married twice.
Will need to some more research, see where it takes me.....
bye for now

Hello Hannah, thanks for your message. Have you had your DNA tested?
My 2 x Gt Grandmother Jane McAninch was born 1828c Ireland.
The Poor Relief Records for 1877 in Glasgow shows her parents as John McAninch farmer and Jane Dunsmore. Both deceased when she married Alexander Wark in 1847 at Macosquin Church, Derry, Colraine.
Jane residing at Ballyvennox , Alexander at , I think it reads, Myroe, Tamlaght.
Do you know the parents of your Hugh, Elizabeth and Jane?
Maybe your Jane b 1829c is my Jane b1828c
I have searched for siblings of Jane but could not verify any connection
I found this record
Census Substitute; 1831, McAninch John Ballyvennox MacOsquin (Cp) Co. Derry. No 38. 5 Males+6 Females.
I'll leave it at that for now,
best regards
Anne

Hi Ady,
Another Roots chatter agrees with your findings about the boy soldier's uniform being that of the Green Howards. Were records kept of these Junior Soldiers?

Sorry Jim, Horn.
Received this reply on the armed services board from mmm45
"The cap badge is The Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards) they recruited heavily from Middlesborough area.
I agree he looks young( but he may have been in one of the junior soldiers battalions )i have a photo of my Grandad in WW1 uniform but he was only 10 in 1918 .I think there was a lot of patriotism then and children liked to dress up"
Maybe they were dressing up then!!!
I wonder if there are records for Junior Soldiers, do you know of any.

Iria,
Thank you so much, what a difference a bit of colour makes, especially to their faces, they seem more "alive" somehow.

Thanks Jenny, I appreciate your 2p worth, 
Oh, I know Jenny it's all so confusing. If Rosie on the right is about 12ish, Lizzie Anne would be about 19.. I do think she looks more mature though.

Hello again,
Thank you Charles for your help, the soldier looks a lot clearer.
Thanks to Jim I have learned something new. How to scan a thumbnail of a photo.
I have now posted the photo and the image of the cap badge on the Armed Services Board.
It looks like a bugle on a rope to me
Thanks again

World War One / Are these "Real" Uniforms
« on: Thursday 19 June 08 23:24 BST (UK) »
Hi, Can anyone help in the recognition of these Uniforms.
The girl on the right is my Great Aunt Rosie Turner. She was born around 1905. Middlesbrough.
The other girl Lizzie Ann McNaney was her half sister, born in 1912 also in Middlesbrough.
The girl/boy in the middle we don't know. We thought it may have been their brother/half brother George William Turner, but he died in France/Flanders 9 Apr 1917. He was in the K.O.Y.L.I.
The photo was taken at Services Studio, Middlesbrough.
The problem is they all look too young to have been in the War.
Was this a studio where you get dressed up like soldiers or nurses?
Close up of the cap badge, not to clear though.
Thank you. look forward to receiving your thoughts.
