O'Neill's of Co. Tyrone
« on: Thursday 07 February 08 15:30 GMT (UK) »
Trying to trace my Irish roots and would really like some help. ???

I only have a limited amount of information and I do not know where to start to develop this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am searching for O’Neill’s or Turner’s from Co Tyrone. The information I have is from Scotlands people.

John O’Neill {Labourer} m Anna Bella Turner, 11th September 1900 in Omagh Co Tyrone.
Somewhere between this date and the 26th December 1903 they moved to Scotland. This was the date my grandfather was born.

According to the death record John was the son of Edward O’Neill {market Gardner} and Elizabeth McLaren. John died in 1933 aged 68 years, so he would have been born about 1865.

Anna Bella or Annie Turner, daughter of William Turner {Farmer} and Margaret York. Annie died in 1930 aged 50 years, so would have been born about 1880.

Please can anyone help me, I would be so grateful.

You are actually in luck as the following birth appears on IGI:
Anne Isabella Turner born 13 Nov.1872 Co. Tyrone, Ireland, daughter of William George Turner and Margaret York. Her birth certificate will list exact date of birth which will give you a townland in Co.Tyrone to start searching for the Turners (and possibly O'Neills).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
