Dear Mary

I have got the details of my grandfather's birth certificate.  His birth was registered at Limavady Workhouse and his mum's name was Annie Taggart, no father's name given.  I know that Limavady Workhouse became the Roe Valley Hospital and is now LCDI (Limavady Community Development Initiative).  Are records of what become of people living in the workhouses held anywhere?  Also, would your research pull up Annie Taggart from anywhere?

Regards
Betty

betty, could annie taggart be nee cox, maybe the jackson  taggart she married died or left her before their son was born.


                         regards mary.

Dear Mary,

thanks for that - I'll have a search.  I now know that quite a few taggarts left Limavady prior to 1900 and went to America - so I have contacted some there just in case).  I asked at LCDI in Limavady and Damien Corr said that I needed to get info from PRONI in Belfast and a look at the Minutes books because they were quite meticulous with their entries. 

Ta muchly
Betty

Dear mary

have just read that poor law registers can only be read 100 years after the last entry in a book.  If my grandfather's birth was registered in 1909 then I probably cannot see any registers until 1910 onwards. 

What made you come up with the name COX?  I havve found an entry for Annie Cox of Aghadowey born 25 Jun 1872 but have not linked her anywhere yet.  Is this the one you found?

Regards
Betty

Annie Cox born 25 June 1872 Aghadowey district was the daughter of William Thomas Cox, labourer, Lisnamuck, and Isabella Nelson, Bovagh. They were married 9 Mar.1863 Coleraine Registry Ofice and had several other children. Daughters Isabella (age 6 in Dec.1871) & Matilda (age 5 in June 1873) both attended Milltown Female School in Aghadowey but no sign there of Annie, so perhaps she died young. The family were Presbyterian and have a plot in the church at Aghadowey but there is no gravestone.

Just because people have the same surname does not mean that they are related to each other.

Thanks aghadowey, but have you come across any Taggarts in Limavady for this time?

Limavady is a bit outside the area most of my records cover and have only taken notes of my few relatives that lived outside Limavady.
