HI Stephen and John,
Do eithr of you or others on Rootschat know about the connection between the Ballyalbanagh Todds and the Todds of Deer Park Glenarm?  I understand that the latter are RC and the former Presbyterian but that there was a family connection between them.

My Todd's are from Ballyalbnah, Ireland as follows:

Father Samuel b. unknown but assume about 1780

His Son: John Sinclair Todd b. 1810 or 1811 baptized at Ballyeaston Church near Ballyalbnagh

John Sinclair Todd’s sibling: Sarah b 1825

John Sinclair married Jane Galt b 1826- d 1892 (I have church record)

They had children:

Mary Jane b 1854   Ballyalbnagh
Walter b 1856  Ballyalbnagh
Hugh b 1857 Ballyalbnagh
Samuel b 1859  Ballyalbanagh
Agnes 1861 Ballyalbnagh
Matilda Rogers b 10 Oct 1863 - Milton, Glasgow, Scotland


I am descended from Agnes Todd( she is my Gr grandmother) so any connections to others who have Todd trees, I'd love to hear from you, as I am a bit of a beginner.

Hi

I don't know if you have read my original message in this thread, but I have in my tree a Margaret TOD/TODD born about 1810 at Cogry, Antrim.

In 1833 she married a William McConnell at Ballyeaston, he was born in the same area.

At the moment I have 3 children to this family, Margaret b1834,baptised 2 Aug 1834, Thomas born c1838 and baptised 9 Jan 1839 and Agnes born c 1840.

Agnes is the child that is of interest for us. she married Michael DUGAN/DUGGAN who was born in Tullaghobegley,Donegal 1832, t6hey married May 1859.
There are conflicting reports about the marriage though, one record says 19th May 1859 on board the ship to Australia, another says they married in Ireland before sailing out.

Could you tell me if any of you have this family noted or post the link to this website that weas mentioned please?

I've read through this thread and it is of interest to me. I'm not sure if there is any connection but I have found a Robert Todd born approx. 1807 who was married to Ann Craig -  April 1, 1825 in First Donegore Presbyterian Church. They subsequently immigrated to Prince Edward Island, Canada (I believe it was Ann's family that immigrated as a whole as I have not found any relatives of the husband's in Prince Edward Island. I am primarily researching the Gillespie family but I do go down all the "rabbit holes" so am now looking for Todd's too  ;D.

Incidentally, my grandmother was a McConnell from Belfast. She was born in 1901 and came to Canada in 1920. Several of her sisters immigrated to Australia. Her father was William Henry McConnell (b. 1875) and her mother was Sarah Alice Courtney. William's parents were William John McConnell and Margaret McCully.

ONe of the things I have found most useful in sorting our the Todd families to see which are related to each other and are not was to genetic testing.  We analyzed the genetics of Todd families throughout northern Ireland and a few in Scotland and wee able to link them to families in America, Canada, Australia and England.

So I would encourage you to get a DNA sample from a male descendant through the Todd DNA project administered by Cherie Ohlsson and see what you can learn.

Also, could you post the names and birth dates and birthplaces of the children and grandchildren of Robert Todd.

The line I am researching is not directly related to the Todd line - I am researching Gillespie's. the relationship is through my husbsnd's 3X great grandmother who was a Craig and her sister married Robert Todd. However, I have gone diwn the line s bit and will post what I have found of his descendents in another post

I have just started looking in detail at the Robert Todd line so I may be missing children/grandchildren but here is what I have to date:

Robert Todd (1807-?) Married 1825 to Ann Craig (1805-?)
    James Todd  - 1827 Ireland Married Catherine McIntosh (1832-1895)
        Phoebe Todd - Apr 23 1852 Prince Edward Island
        Ann Jane Todd - Jun 28 1854 Prince Edward Island
        Robert John Todd - Jun 8 1855 Prince Edward Island
        William Todd - Feb 8 1857 Prince Edward Island
        Hannah M Todd - Nov 13 1858 Prince Edward Island
        Donald A Todd - Oct 26 1860 Prince Edward Island
        Roderick Todd - Oct 27 1862 Prince Edward Island
        James Craig Todd - Mar 16 1865 Prince Edward Island
        Hannah Margaret Todd - Mar 27 1867 Prince Edward Island
        George Duncan Todd - Dec 10 1869 Prince Edward Island
        Mary Eliza Todd - Mar 25 1873 Prince Edward Island
        Henry Todd - Dec 1874 Prince Edward Island (second wife was Anna Eliza Craig Gillespie - Jun 12 1865 Prince Edward Island - who is a descendent of my Gillespie line. Henry and Eliza were second cousins. they had a son who died at the age of 5 so there are no male Todd descendants from this line that I could ask to take a DNA test)
    Sarah Todd - Mar 29 1829 Prince Edward Island
    William Todd - 1836 Prince Edward Island married Ann Cameron (1840 Prince Edward Island)
        Robert James Todd - Nov 3 1861 Prince Edward Island
        John Todd - 1864 Prince Edward Island
        Mary Todd - 1867 Prince Edward Island
        Daniel Alex Todd - Aug 14 1872 Prince Edward Island
        Donald Todd - 1873 Prince Edward Island
        Elizabeth Jane Todd - Aug 27 1874 Prince Edward Island
        James Albert Todd - Nov 13 1876 Prince Edward Island
        William John Todd - Feb 21 1882 Prince Edward Island
        Charles A Todd Apr 26 1883 Prince Edward Island
    Ann Todd - 1837 Prince Edward Island
    Margaret Sarah Todd - 1840 Prince Edward Island

Some of these lines went to Montana and then Washington
