Drumanaghan, Loughinisland
« on: Wednesday 31 January 07 09:59 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace the Crombie family who I believe were from this townland.

John Crombie married Susannah Park and had the following children..

Thomas born 15 Nov 1840
Hannah  born  c. 1842
Martha  born  c. 1843
Isabella  born  c. 1848
John  born  c. 1850

Can anyone help establish this family or point me in the right direction for further research.

Thanks

Sorry

I meant to add the original message to the DOWN folder rather than DOWN RESOURCES.

Hello John,

What religious persuasion were the Crombie family?

NI Libraries catalogue lists ...

Thanks Christopher

the family were presbyterian as far as I know.  I have plenty records of them here in Scotland but all state the place of birth as County Down.  The only record with a place name is the 1851 Census which shows Drumanaghan.

Have you seen Ros Davies website freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies//SURNAMES/C/Cromie.htm
a search for Loughinisland becomes interesting even though the possibley wrong spelling.
In case your Crombie is historically also Cromie, then there are family manuscript trees in existence but they may not be relevant at all  Some examples are in volumes 1p84 Dublin Montague,vol  11p99 Seafin  Clough, vol 22p154,vol  30 loose letter, vol 37. These volumes are in the Blackwood Family history manuscript trees in LinenHall library, Belfast.  I suggest you ask them for photocopying estimates if they think your knowledge relevant and be prepared to pay the extra for post and packing. However if the material is really relevant when you get it, I suggest a further donation to this unique library that is always needing extra funds. Linen Hall Library,17 Donegall Square North, Belfast BT15GB, Northern Ireland, Telephone: +44 (0)28 9032 1707,  Fax: +44 (0)28 9043 8586, Email:info[at]linenhall.com

Results for "Crombie  " Sometimes the result is based On Cro ie first 3 letters so it might disappoint.

Loughinisland has been researched by I think the same Mr Blackwood as mentioned above.
 Must go, good luck, Jim

Hi John.
In a townland listing of Loughinisland, your area, Drumanaghan is also listed as Drumulcaw. 
 
My family has links to some Cromie families in the Drumgooland parish, not to be confused with Drumgooland townland in Loughinisland Parish.  Here is your area:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/MAPS/LoughinislandTownlands.htm

Have you seen these?
Griffiths Valuation
Cromie            Robert        Clough          Loughinisland     Down
Cromie            Robert        Knocksticken Loughinisland     Down

I also have a Park family.  John Park, father of Jane.  He was born around 1800.

thanks Ruth

I am interested in your Park relations.  My Susannah Park's father was John and her mother was Jane ?
Can you give me any details of your Park's

Thanks
