REDGATE, Magilligan Parish

Coleraine Chronicle started in 1844. It isn't online but Coleraine Library have microfilmed copies of all existing issues (Central Library (newspaper section), Belfast might also have microfilms as they have a great collection but I can't say for sure).
For coverage of the Night of the Big Wind in 1839 you could try Belfast Newsletter or Londonderry Sentinel, both of whih started before that date.

Yes, I do have substantial information about Martha Redgate, who first married Michael Maginnis and had several children before marrying William Black in about 1864, and having a son John Black.  I have information about her parents, siblings, etc. and very, very much want to talk to you about your research.  Please email me at (*) or call (*).  Barbara Miller

HI BARBARA

THANK YOU SO MUCH.... I DIDNT THINK I WOULD GET A REPLY!

I'M TRYING TO CONNECT WITH BLACK NAME AND LOOKING AT THIS EXCELLENT PHOTO YOU HAVE ON ROOTS PAGE  ( AND WHICH I PRINTED OUT ) HAS GIVEN ME HOPE.
I HAVE  FOUND WILLIAM BLACK IN CHURCH RECORDS - THEY WERE PRESBYTERIANS AND ATTENED MAGILLIGAN PRES. CHURCH. IN THE SEARCH I FOUND COMING DOWN THROUGH THE GENERATIONS WILLIAM BLACK MARRIED TO A LADY WITH SURNAME MCGRANAHAN AND THEN WILLIAM MARRIED TO MARTHA REDGATE I'M WANTING TO TRACE WILLIAM BLACK NAME AND FOUND ANOTHER WILLIAM MARRIED TO JANE SMYTH. I WANT TO TRACE WHO THE MOTHER OF WILLIAM IS WHO MARRIED ANNIE CURRAN IN 1906. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO FIND YOU HAVE SAME CONNECTION.
REGARDS
LYNN

Hi Barbara, hoping on the off chance that you still monitor this thread. But I also descend from the Redgate's of Aughil. Margaret Redgate from the Griffiths Valuation would be my 5x great grandmother and I descend through her daughter Elizabeth who married James Doherty.

I'd be interested if you photograph is of my 4x great grandmother Elizabeth (1824 - 1902) and if you have any more information on the Redgates.

Thanks,
Niall
