Many thanks BALLYALTKILLIGANG - but I have all this info. I was simply wanting to contact Dougmc or Soapy1 to give them information on their families.

I'm just so so pleased with your reply and the replies that have been generated. Dorothea was my 3rd Great Grandmother, both she and her husband John are on the death certificates of their children , and John is shown as a soldier - I was half contemplating that he was English but couldn't find any evidence of his existence other than on those certificates. I also have the details you mention about Robert Beresford marrying Mary Beck over in Dromore and thought that possibly the Beresfords kept a bit more in touch with the remaining family in Dromore and that Mary was in fact related. I would of course be interested in knowing more

I believe Sarah Beck and Alexander Gibson are my great, great, great grandparents, moving to Scotland on the late 1860s with sons William b1859/60 and John b1861/62.  William and John moved to Bolton in Lancashire when they were aged 21 and 19 years.  Can anyone verify this?

Welcome to RootsChat 

I believe Sarah Beck and Alexander Gibson are my great, great, great grandparents........

Sarah Beck bapt: 1835 July 28 married 1858 Aug 28
    Alexander Gibson @ 2nd Dromore Presbyterian

If they are, then this was their marriage (writing is very poor):

Their fathers were John Gibson and John Beck, both weavers. Alexander was also a weaver and looks to be a minor (under 21). Both Alexander and Sarah were living in the townland of Ballyvicknacally (again writing very poor).
