Dear Aghadowey,  I can only find these people and there seems to be a similarity in the use of Hamilton and Dawson
Dawson Levingston (note the e) born 29 January 1871  to James Levingston and Jane Dawson Lurgan Civil District, Sub District, Waringstown, Co. Down.
Dawson Hamilton Livingston married Sarah McCullough on 9 March 1901 in Shankhill C of I, Lurgan
I see Hamilton Jardine and Victoria Hall were married in Aghadowey on 19/2/84.  Is any of this relevant?

Rosemary- thanks for looking.
I have the Hall-Livingston marriage already. Groom is listed as agent, Newry. Gives his father as James Livingston farmer so I'm not sure exactly where the Livingstons were from originally. The Livingston children spent  lots of time in Aghadowey growing up and even attended the local school. Bertie Livingston was killed in the War. Last word anyone rec'd from him was a postcard to my mother-in-law (she was 5 at the time).
Will also check under Levingston from now on just in case they used that spelling.

Just found Hamilton Livingston, age 55, a quaker, living in High Street Lurgan in the 1901 census.  He was a caretaker (?) and seemed to have 9 people living in the house.  Would he be yours? Rosemary

Rosemary- Hamilton Livingston- age 55 seems about right (wife born c1855 so she was about 46 in 1901), caretaker- earlier was a clerk but still possible, Quaker- still possible, 9 people in house- yes, they had lots of children.
Do you have the 1901 census for Lurgan? I can look up County Derry and most of Antrim in Ballymena but am unable to get a day in PRONI at the moment.

Sorry I can't.  I live in Southampton - but Family Ulster will do it for £5 and send you the transcript.  I have just found my great grandfather in Lurgan (from Lurgan Ancestry!).  This is where I found Hamilton.  See my other message on the board.  Regards, Rosemary
