Derry (Londonderry) / Silas Lennox marries Sarah Johnston, 1892, Magherafelt
« on: Wednesday 03 May 23 20:59 BST (UK) »
I am a Johnston descendant. I have found the marriage of Silas Lennox to Sarah Johnston Oct 7, 1892 at the Registrar's Office in Magherafelt, her father Henry Johnston of Cranny, his father William http://www.rootschat.com/links/01s9m/
This is my problem. Henry Johnston of Cranny, wife Priscilla Latimer had a daughter Sarah on Jan 10, 1866. Henry Johnston of Cranny, wife Margaret Taylor had a daughter Sarah Jane July 23, 1867 in Cranny. Which Sarah married Silas Lennox? If age is absolutely correct at marriage, it would be the daughter of Margaret Taylor.
I have an obituary of Sarah Lennox who died Dec 14, 1924 in Tullynagee in which no children are mentioned, and no other relatives named, but is that because the children were girls? I have Mary Jane Lennox born Nov 22, 1896, in Cranny, Sarah Maria Oct 13, 1898 in Gortavilly, and Jemima Apr 9, 1902 in Tullynagee. In 1901, they are living in Gortavilly

and this is them in 1911.

I have an unconfirmed death of Silas Lennox Oct 27, 1936 in Tullynagee for whom I cannot find his death record on Groni. But I have his obit in the Mid-Ulster Mail of Oct 31, 1936, in which his three daughters are named all with surname Lennox, but he has a son-in-law Henry John Leacock. Which daughter married Henry John Leacock? But I think the crucial bit is a nephew John Kissick, who would be the son of James Kissick and Eliza Jane Johnston, daughter of Henry Johnston and Priscilla Latimer if my tree is correct. Other nephews are Robert and Andrew Lennox who would be sons of Silas' brother William John Lennox married to Jane Johnston, daugher of Andrew Johnston and Jane Orr. Willie Lennox is another nephew that I have not figured out yet.
It might help if an obituary or writeup were found for Henry Johnston who died Feb 17, 1886 in Cranny (husband of Priscilla), if it names son-in-law. I have never found Priscilla's death. Henry Johnston, husband of Margaret Taylor, died after 1911, but I don't have his date of death.
Or a writeup for William Lennox who died May 19, 1880 in Cranny or his wife Mary Jane nee Latimer who died May 18, 1883. Anthing that names relatives.
At the moment, I am thinking Sarah is the daughter of Henry and Priscilla, because of the mention in Silas' writeup naming nephew John Kissick. Can anyone help with this?
Thank you.
