James Roxborough Married Elizabeth Callagher

[Markrox]

I am looking for information on where my gg grandfather James Roxborough is buried, he was married in St Guaires Aghadowey to Elizabeth Callagher. He is the son of William Roxborough married to Mary Torrens Aghadowey. Also any information on my g grandfathers (Dick Roxborough) brother william born 26 feb 1866, did he own a public house in Ballymoney or kilrea.. Where is he buried? My G grandfather dick married sterling and left Aghadowey to go to Ballyrashane where he is buried.
I'm hoping user 'Aghadowey' can help with this query

At the moment most of my office is packed up but from memory-

James Roxborough could be buried in either Aghadowey Presbyterian (no burial records) or St. Guaire's Church of Ireland (they do have a burial register but sometimes didn't include Presbyterians). see next post

William Roxborough (1848-1925) bought a farm and had some sort of grocery business after he came back to Ireland after the death of his first wife. William's third wife died in 1939 and is buried at St. Guaire's.

James Roxborough could be buried in either Aghadowey Presbyterian (no burial records) or St. Guaire's Church of Ireland (they do have a burial register but sometimes didn't include Presbyterians).

Didn't have a death date (after birth of daughter Lizzie 1880) for James Roxborough but since wife Elizabeth and some of the children (including Dick) were in Scotland in 1891 thought James might have died there. Found this possibility-
James Roxburgh, labourer, Belville Street, missing since March 1887, body found off Customhouse Quay on 13th April 1887 (Greenock Telegraph 13.4.1887)
Then went to ScotlandsPeople and by doing free searches narrowed down his age to 48 (so born c1839). Had a few credits left so took a look at his death certificate and it's certain the right man!

James Roxburgh, labourer (married to Elizabeth Kellacher), 'went missing 19th March, dead body found 13th April 1887 usual residence 1 Belville Street Greenock,' age 48, parents- William Roxburgh labourer (deceased) & Mary Roxburgh M.[aiden]S.[urname] Torrens, informant Annie Archibold friend, registered 15 Apr.1887.

That is fantastic information.. I thought he was buried in St Guaires or Aghadowey Pres. Il do some research to look into cause of death given that he was missing. My gg grandfather Dick supposedly worked for Tate and lyle in Scotland for a time so that would tie in. If you ever get the time would you maybe look to see what info you have about dicks brother William born 26th February 1866? Died around 1954? He owned a public house in either ballymoney or kilrea before emigrating to usa or Canada.. Came back to Ireland in later years? Kind regards mark

The William Roxborough (1848-1925) I mentioned earlier is an uncle of Dick Roxborough, Ballyreagh. Will look and see if I have any more on Dick's brother William born 1866.

Added- William is not with mother Elizabeth & other siblings in Greenock (1891) or Port Glasgow (1901). In 1891 Dick (Richard) is listed as sugarhouse labourer which fits with working for Tate & Lyle. Do you know who Johana (c1892) and David (c1900) living with grandmother Elizabeth in 1901 belong to?

Any information you have is much appreciated. The information I have isn't comprehensive at all, my grandfather John died before I was born so I was unable to use his knowledge as a resource. William and Mary Torrens had Jane, James (my gggf), John (emigrated to Pennsylvania), Richard (emigrated to pennsylvania) and William to my knowledge?
James (my gggf) had Mary Ann, William (whom I know nothing about other than owned a public house) and Dick ( my great grandfather) again to my knowledge although a 5 year gap between William and Dick could bring the possibility of another?.
I asked about David and Johanna but without success.
Thanks again
