Hi,
    This may also be yours. 26 May 1881 Alexander Clarke married Elizabeth Wilson in Dromore Unitarian Presbyterian Church, Banbridge District, Co. Down.

Regards

Possibly this couple in 1901-

Checked out the census thanks - Alexander Clarke & Elizabeth Wilson cannot be mine the ages don't work.  If Elizabeth had my relative in about 1854 she would be over 60 in 1901, this one is just 48.  Thanks anyway, at least that clears one up.

Hi Evelina, The very same question you started this thread with is the reason I’m here! I see you posted this in 2012 and wondered if you’ve had any luck in finding out any further information? I’d very much appreciate any info! Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I’m related, but I’m afraid I don’t know much more information other than someone on another site (I’m new here and don’t know if I can mention it), thinks that Richard Coulter’s siblings were born in Monaghan. Perhaps you’ve also seen this.

Not sure about this, Monaghan appears to be southern Ireland my Richard was born in Northern Ireland unless the border changed?  Sorry I have no info on any of his siblings if he had any.

The border has actually only been there since the 1920s, so back then it would have been all Ireland and I’d say Monaghan geographically, especially back then, could still be considered in the north in that regard.

Of course, sorry about that. I just googled Monaghan and saw it in the south, my mistake.

send a couple of PM's to you

Cheers Evelyn

County Monaghan is one of the 9 Ulster counties but 3 of them (Monaghan, Cavan & Donegal) are not part of Northern Ireland.
