Dear Morrison

Are you Burnfoot, Dungiven?  I came across a Haslet in the Civil War in America tonight and he came from the family buried in Bovevagh presbyterian.  I found it when I googled Scriggan.  Very impressive if he belongs to you. 

Yes - Thompsons - don't bother for a while.  Wait until I get them altogether and I'll make you a Xmas present of them.  have you come across any Harpers in your area?

Regards
Betty

betty, ifound the index for the births on irish genealogy.

                               regards mary.

Dear Mary

I am wondering if Edward Thompson born 1848/9 (father Alexander Thompson) had a brother Alexander Thompson born 1845.  Can you recommend any good sites which let you see siblings instead of guessing?  I only get limited success with IGI. 

Also, did marriages sometimes not get entered at all?  Family history says that Andrew Thompson married Catherine George and I have seen the headstone where she is named Catherine thompson died 17/2/1949 aged 48 yrs but I cannot trace a marriage cert anywhere. 

Regards
Betty
(ps) I am getting better at this but it sure eats up the hours.

Hi Betty,
            Made a mistake on my last mail. I looked at the 1831census and not the Griffith Valuation . Yes I live in Burnfoot and the Colonel Haslett is one of mine but not my direct line.

Dear Mary

yes - my great-uncle.  Have the record of the marriage but just cannot find Andrew Thompson and Catherine George anywhere.

Had some luck this morning when I came into work.  A lady in one of my IT clubs is a Thomspon and brought in a handful of Thompson birth, deaths and marriages from the Bovevagh area.  NONE of them belong to my side but they can all be eliminated, which is every bit as good.  Isn't that just wonderful.

Thanks for trying on my behalf.

Regards
Betty

Hi Betty,
            I believe we are trying to help Vicki find the family of Douglas. I tried to phone you tonight but you were not in, assuming I had the correct number. I will try again.

Dear Mary

I have found first marriage of Grt Grandfather (Edward Thompson to Rebecca McCurdy 1870) and have found one daughter Margaret born 1871.  I then found 2 marriages and wonder if you would be able to source for me which one belongs to my family?

Margaret Thompson married Hugh Smith Bovevagh 22 Apr 1904
or
Margaret Thompson married James Seawright Bovevagh 04 May 1899

Betty

Mary

my apologies - I forgot that these marriages will be in the Registrar's book (after THE date!)  I'll go there this week and get transcriptions.

Many thanks
Betty
