Neely's in londonderry
« on: Tuesday 24 July 07 19:51 BST (UK) »
Hi,

im trying to find out if John Neely & Margaret Jane Boyd had any more children that the ones that I already know about.

All I have from IGI is Oliver Neely (c1860) and Sarah Neely (1866)
Ramsay, Struthers, Stark (Avondale, Lanarkshire) Haughey, Martin (Ballyrashane) Neely, Fraser (Londonderry) Hill (Anderston, Glasgow), Cranstoun, Carruthers (Dumfries) MacIndoe (Springburn & Bridgeton, Glasgow) McKay (Springburn, Glasgow) Fraser (Paisley)

Can't see Oliver Neely born c1860 on IGI but there is a Margaret Jane Neely born 25 Jan.1849 Co.Derry. Since John Neely and Margaret Jane Boyd were married in 1844 (Co.Derry) it is very likely that there were other children but unfortunately civil registration of births only started in 1864 so you will probably need to find baptism and other church records.

Checked again and no Oliver Neely born Ireland shows up on IGI or anything on LDS site. If Oliver was born c1860 it's before the start of civil registration of births but you might be able to find a baptismal record.

aghadowey 

I just checked my notes and i originally got the birth date / year from his death certificate in Scotland.

as he was born around 1860 and his sister Margaret Jane was born in 1849 can you find out if there are any other siblings between these years

There is an Oliver Neely birth on IGI for 1880 - parents Oliver Neely and Elizabeth Frazer (who according to IGI married in 1891). Perhaps it was this one you came across before.

thanks scotmum,

The Oliver Neely I was asking about married Lizzie Fraser in St Columbs Londonderry in 22/10/1880. Oliver jnr was born the following year in Londonderry before the family moved to Glasgow around 1883ish.

Oliver snr is my GG grandfather. Oliver jnr is my G grandmothers brother.

IGI lists 6 children born to Oliver Neely & Elizabeth Frazer but some of these are submitted records which need to be treated with caution.

If Oliver Neely was married in 1880 it is more than likely that he was born before 1860. Does his marriage give his age?
