Hello,

I am wondering if any Rootschat members will be visiting Coleraine Library in the near future?  I understand thanks to the hard work of the Coleraine branch of the NI FHS, they have reposited there copies of the Church Records for certain areas.

I am seeking any info on Daniel Shaw & wife Margaret McPeake from the Buckna/Glenwhirry church parishes in the Ballymena area of ANTRIM (born ca 1840, married ca 1865, with various children up to 1881). 

Another line of my family is from Magherafelt in Co LONDONDERRY - Hector (or Hercules) Douglas, b ca 1837, to parents Hugh and Sarah (nee Wylie), who married Elizabeth Stewart (b 1854) in 1877.  If anyone stumbles across either family and can help add a wee piece to the jigsaw I'd be very grateful.

Thank you in advance,

Gordon 

Hello:  Trying to find the marriage of John Keast to a lady called Eleanor in either St Germans or Landrake 1811-1818.

Have strong suspicion she is Eleanor Littleton, but no proof;  anything to connect would be gratefully received, thank you.

I'm wondering if there is any reference to the BMDs of Eleanor and John Keast of St Germans (Eleanor possibly born Landrake 1791-95). John's birth is ca 1787-91. I am also seeking the birth date of their son Samuel ca 1829-31.  Many thanks.

Sue,

How kind of you to help out like this!   But I know by 1851 mother Ann (by now a widow) and now aged 61, was living with daughter Mary and her husband William Dean in Upperby. 

I think Ange has sorted it for me that the Sewells were living in John Street in '41;  'missing' father Robert was probably down the pub like most of my wife's relatives seem to be (     -  don't say I said that!!)

Kind regards

Gordon

Thank you Ange,

Looks like the search goes on     Maybe they were down in Upperby, though I didn't think they went there till later.   

Still it keeps us out of mischief   

Thank you for trying,

Kind regards,

Gordon
