McConnell & Todd Surnames

I see a William George Todd who had married a Jane Hanley who had a son William Andrew Todd b 1879 Ballyclare.

Would this be your family?

John,
If you are looking for the descendants, does that mean you know who Andrew b 1801 is the son of ?  and who Marthaa is the daughter of?

Hi

William George is my ggggrandfather. I have all the information about his other son James (my line)and some info on William Andrew and Margaret Martha but not many dates.

I don't know Andrew b1801 father or mother but do have info on Martha's father, George Todd and Mother Jane ?.

The family tree is at http://stewart1800.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=stewart1800&view=9&rand=646837570

Just look for the Todds they should be there.

John,
What a wonderful website display of these families!

Is Martha the Martha b 1805 died 1882 Antrim?

Is Andrew the Andrew b 1804 d 1892 Co Antrim?

Do you have any interest in the DNA study that links your family to the Todds of Ayrshire and the Mary Todd LIncoln Todds of the USA?

Do you have any interest in the Nathaniel Todds who went to the USA and Canada?

If you sent me an email, I'll send you some information?

I had a closer look at you Todd's in America site and you certainly have a lot of information.  Some other Todd's from the area had been asking me about our side of the family so I will start to focus more on the Todd side.  Your site will certainly help with a few trips to PRONI it think.

You are aware that the original spelling of Todd in the Ballyeaston List is Tod. As a member of First Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church me and my father spent weeks typing the 1813 list for the Church History Book 'His House on the Hill' and are glad to hear how the 1813 list inspired you.

We are currently working on computerising the Marriage records for the Church so I will keep a look out for any Todd's that I think might be of intrest to you and other Todd researchers.

John,
HOw delightful to learn of your work in putting this wonderful information into print!

Here's what I have on the Nathaniel Todds of Ballyalbanagh:
In Ballyalbanagh, there were five  Nathaniels, but 4 of them seem to have gone to Dearborn Co IN.

Nathaniel b 1746 living in Ballyalbanagh in 1813
   James b  1778 lives next door, wife Isabella b 1784  (went to Dearborn Co IN USA 1829)
      Samuel 1805
      Nathaniel b 1807 (md Janet MacKey, dau of Andrew MacKey and went to Dearborn
Co IN in 1829
      James 1808

   Nathaniel b 1786, wife Margaret (went to Dearborn Co IN USA about 1829)            Jenny 1809
      James 1811w
      Elizabeth1813
      Prob Nathaniel b 1815
      Prob Patrick b 1815
      Prob John b 1820 (resides Dearborn Co IN 1850)
Brother md wife b 1753
   Nathaniel b 1791  (possibly the Nathaniel who went to Skilnagaban by 1834 and was still there in 1861 and therefore probably the Nathaniel in the death index 1781-1871, prob father of Nathaniel md 1849 Isabella McMullan of Legaloy (near Skilnagaban) who went to Saint Lawrence NY by 1850.   
   Adam b 1794
   Elisa b 1798


Here's what i ahve on the Nathaniels  of Coggry
   George Todd b 1773 d 1849 md Jane 1773
      ?John 1791 (poss husband of Eleanor 1791-1876) poss John d 1860 (possexecutor of
will of George 1849)
Andrew 1792 (possibly the Andrew who went to Edwardsburg, Leeds and Grenville,
Ontario an died 1882 (1881 census says aged 85=>b 1796)
Nathaniel b 1794 (prob the Nathaniel 1790-1873 died Edwardsburgh, Leeds and
Grenville, Ontario) 
Nathaniel Todd 1819-1885 d Edwardsburgh
Could this be the father of Willam md 1856 Haldimand Co Ont?
William b 1796 prob d 1876

         John 1846-1918 d Lee Co IL (no issue, in Lee Co, IL by 1870 md Jane  abt

      Samuel 1813
Lastly I have:

(a John Todd – poss one of the John Todds of Coggry - had a son Nathaniel in 1820 who may be the Nathaniel who went to Edwardsburg, Ontario by 1844.)

Also in Coggry:

Hi John,
I looked at the website and was delighted to see such a complete tree. 

Meanwhile, I looked at the 1911 census and added some branches to the skeleton of the William Todd/Agnes Bobinson Family.  Do you have a complete tree of this branch?

William Todd and Agnes Robinson
Nathaniel Tod, born 16 May 1858 in Coggery to William Tod and Agnes Robinson.

other children:
Mary Jane 1849
William John 1851
Susanna 1853
Andrew 1856
Nathaniel Tod, born 16 May 1858 in Coggery to William Tod and Agnes Robinson. Md Sarah
McCurley (per 1911 census)
   Susanna 1887
   Jeannette 1889
   Thomas 1891
   William 1893
   Robert 1894
   Alice 1900
   James 1902
Mary 1860
Robert Johnston 1864 md 1885 Antrim (Maggie per 1911 census)
   Robert Johnston Todd b 1888? Or Robert b 1893
   Samuel Todd b 1897

Nathaniel was on Albert Terrace in Shallkill in 1911 but listed as born Ballyclare.

HI Donna,
It is interesting that you indicate that Samuel Todd d 1877 Lancaster Street and there is a John Todd d 1864 who owned property on Lancaster Street and had a son Henry Todd.  This John Todd owned property on 29 Lancaster Strret and rented on 31 Lancaster Street.

This John Todd appears to either John Todd 1786-1864, 1810-1864 or 1803-64, but getting the actual death records would show which one was on Lancaster Street. 

The son Henry appears in the 1901 census on Little Henry Street which is where John Todd also owned Property.

By any chance does the death record for your Samuel give an exact address on Lancaster Street?  It isn't a very long street.

Henry son of John married in 1861 in Belfast to Frances McFarland and has a large family incluindg John 1870 and Henry 1879. 

There is a Henry who married in 1911 in Blefast.

Hopoe this helps!

Many thanks for the transcription work and for the browsable family tree!

I'm a descendent of Robert Montgomery m. Jane/Janet/Jenny (lots of different variants in different records!) Todd 1/5/1857.

If you are interested in filling in the descendants of that part of the family a bit more I can help - you have some but not all of the children and I obviously know several generations beyond that to the present day!

The reasonably recent advent of scanned images from the will calendars on the PRONI website is marvellous - I have been merrily expanding my tree :-)

All the best,

Stephen
