Martha Whiteside McClelland Clarke was born in 1859, mother of Anna Rosaline Clarke (my great grandmother), she married with Walter Clarke in 1880 and registered in Banbridge, i think on LDS Church. If possible, i want the names of her parents.
The name of Martha's father will be on her marriage certificate.

I'm reading about Mr William R. Priest Eccles, he was son of Mr William Gelderd Eccles and Mary Ruddell, both from Turmoyra House.
W. R. P. Eccles was a Lawyer, he was born in 1867.
I want to know if he was married, who was his wife and when did he die?

For the above information you can search index to civil registration nd het references to birth, marriage and possibly death certificates and then order the certificates from GRO, Dublin or GRONI, Belfast.

Who was Edith Roberts from The Manor House, Lurgan?
Did she have sons, husband and parents?
Any connection of Clarkes?

Do you know about the address of The Manor House in Lurgan and The Turmoyra House in Turmoyra?
If possible, what i have to do to discover the adresses?

Hi,

My garndfather was Thomas Clarke, married to Maebl of Springfield, Lurgan. Mt father is their eldest son, also called Thomas.
We still live in the family home.

Lib788

Victor- is this the Sarah Orr you mean?
Samuel and Sarah Orr of Turmoyra signed

The record is 1912 Ulster Covenant signatures.
Samuel Robt. Orr, Turmoyratt?
Sarah W. Orr Turmoyra House

Also Lina? (indexed as Lisa) Orr, The Manor House

Checking IGI (free) on LDS site www.familysearch.org there's Samuel's birth:
Samuel Robert Atkinson Orr, son of John Orr and Sarah Wilhelmina Ruddell, born 4 Apr.1879 Ireland.

Mr. Thomas Clarke was the grandfather of my greatgrandmother, Anna Rosaline Clarke, second dougther of Walter Clarke, who must be brother of your father or grandfather.
