Lesley returned from India and stayed with Janet in Lynda Park in Jordanstown. They ran an electrical business together. I think about 1945.

Sligo / Re: Rev. Hugh Montgomery Knox & Family (Sligo)
« on: Wednesday 06 December 17 18:13 GMT (UK) »
Some of the family lived in Finaghy. It may have been Janet. I had a conversation yesterday as I am trying to find the two houses were I understood my two great grandmothers (Knox and Morrison) used to live in around 1940. In Whitehouse Park. During my conversation with a historian she told me about Janet and Lesley at Lynda Park and also mentioned Finaghy. Mum told me something about Finaghy too as I briefly lived there. I am Christine, daughter of Joceline and second cousin of you, Jonathan - I assume it’s you. I’ve not seen you since I was a child.

welcome to
Hi, I have no idea how to use this. My grandmother was Kathleen Knox
I was aware of your Grandfather, Leslie Steven Knox and that he had married an Ann Elizabeth but did not know her surname. Leslie Steven's father was the Rev. Hugh Montgomery Knox a Presbyterian minister who's church was in Ballymote, County Sligo. Ireland. My line of research has been mainly on the family of the Rev. Knox's wifes family. I know nothing about the Knox family prior to the Rev. Knox.
Rev. Knox and his wife Isabella Witherow had 7 children.
William Herbert Knox
Kathleen Witherow Knox
Thomas Witherow Knox
Hugh Watt Knox
Janet Margaret Knox
Leslie Steven Knox
Jocelyn George Milling Knox.
I can take you back a further 4 generations from Isabella Witherow.
feel free to personal message me for any further information you want. It may be a day or two before I get a chance to get the information for you as I'm a bit busy workwise at the moment.

Here's a link to 1911 census entry in case anyone is interested-
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Sligo/Bricklieve/Graniamore/752867/
Kathleen and Thomas both have Witherow as middle names (transcribed as Witherin).
Son Jocelyn's birth was registered as Jocelyn George Milling Knox and looks like he married July/Sept.1936 Dublin North registration district.
I am a descendent. My grandmother was Kathleen Witherow Knox born in Sligo and she outlived all her brothers. Only her sister Janet was alive when I was a child. Joyclyn was married twice as sadly he was widowed.

« on: Friday 01 September 17 21:32 BST (UK) »Wondering if the two 1890 marriage references have anything to do with spelling of Isabella's name. Although both references list 'Isabella Witherow' the index in Irish Genealogy database have 2 marriages listed for Hugh Montgomery Knox- Isabella Witherow and Isobella Witherow.
...
I've seen that sometimes where a name is indexed under two alternate spellings.. but in the cases I've come across these both have the same index references

I think it is misspelt by whoever wrote the records. My mother (a Witherow by descent) is Joceline Isobel and I can't tell you how many discussions we've had about the spelling of her name. Jocelyn is the masculine spelling and Joceline the feminine and Isobel can be spelt either way so whoever read the records and typed them up might have not known if it was an o or an a ...

I am a descendant. Jocelyn was my great uncle. I saw his son Denis recently over from Canada. My grandmother was Kathleen Witherow Knox who died around 1976. I am in fairly regular touch with my Knox cousins - Brian and his wife Eileen died quite recently and I went to the funeral - of Eileen. My mother is Joceline Isobel Morrison - her mother was a Knox, Kathleen. All my grandmother's brothers had died when I was born in 1958. Only Auntie Janet was still alive, Kathleen's sister. I'll read a few more posts here.

Thanks Dancing Master, I did know that - but that is all I know. My grandfather was a doctor there during WW2, and I am trying to find out more about this time there. I know he married while he was there so that holds possiblities too.

I now see that the camp was there in WW1 as well so it could have been my great grandfather. I have a fair bit of searching to do.
