Am still searching for 2nd marriage of David English to see what's listed for father's name & occupation, names of witnesses, etc.

It's beginning to look like David & Ellen never married. Not only can I not find said marriage (c1905 according to 1911 census) but the Valuation Revision Books show the Ballycor property stayed in the name of Ellen Agnew. This may have something to do with Ellen not wanted to lose the place if she remarried.

However, Ellen's husband Samuel Agnew died in 1901 without leaving a Will-
Letters of Administration of the Personal Estate of Samuel Agnew late of Ballycor County Antrim Farmer who died 19 April 1901 were granted 20 May 1908 at Belfast to Ellen English Married Woman the Relict.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
