Browne Islandmagee

[Hana]

Looking for information on the Browne's of Islandmagee.  My Grandfather was born in Kilcoan and his family were master mariners.  I think there is some link to a Bayview house. 

My great grandfather is Samuel John Hill Browne born in 1894 in Mullaghdubh who married Ruth Phillips from Mochrum in Scotland.

Samuel John Hill Browne's father was Samuel Andrew Browne born in 1850, died in 1912.  He married Ellen Jane Hawthorne born 1849 in Ballymuldrough, Islandmagee.

Ellen's parents were Arthur Hawthorne and Isabella Hill both of Islandmagee.

Any help would be great,
Thanks,

Are you sure that Samuel John Hill Browne born 1894 is a son of Samuel Andrew Browne and Ellen Jane Hawthorne?
IGI lists 3 children for Samuel Brown and Ellen Jane Hawthorne: Andrew (1877), Abigal Heggan (1878) and Ellen Jane (1879)- see www.familysearch.org for details.

Thanks for your help everyone.

To my understanding family search is missing 3 or 4 of the children of Ellen Hawthorne and Samuel Browne.  There was at least 6 children based on my Grandfather and his sister's memory.  But their branch emirgrated to Australia and appear to have lost contact with the family back in Northern Ireland.

My Aunt told me that there is a large family grave in Islandmagee so I guess that would confirm who's who in the family.

Thanks Dixie, I had rough dates for the marriages but nothing certain and definitely no places!

All the help is greatly appreciated

Dixie,

I was wondering if you could confirm the marriage date for John Hill Browne and Ruth Phillips.  To the families knowledge they were married in 1917 but there is nothing official that we have saying that.  If the correct date is 1921 it means that my grandfather was born before they were married.  Which would explain why John isn't listed on my grandfathers birth certificate though he has the last name of Browne.    Rather interesting!

Hi.
I rechecked the marriage date on the Emerald Ancestors website and it's the one they have recorded.
If you have a LDS Family History Centre near you, it may be possible to order the microfilm for Islandmagee 1st Presbyterian Church, if not, check-out the Dublin General Records Office website,           www.groireland.ie/
They can supply a photocopy from the register of the event, birth, marriage or death, before 1922. The cost for a photocopy is 6 Euros, I suppose they would add postage to that.  I don't know if you can order and pay online. 
From 1922 onward you would need to apply to the GRO in Belfast.
Regards,
Dixie

Thanks so much Dixie!  I'll have to investigate getting a copy of the register.

Hi Hana.
The link for the Dublin GRO, in my last posting, should work now, I stupidly put "ire" instead of "ie" at the end of the website address.
 Emerald Ancestors has a lot of the surnames you are seeking, mentioned getting married in Islandmagee 1st Presbyterian Church. If you do a search, use the surnames with and without the "E" at the end.
Regards,
Dixie
