McCrums or Simm Campbells of Carnmoney/Ballycraigy
« on: Friday 06 July 18 22:13 BST (UK) »
Hello all,

I am looking for some help with my ggrandmother - Isabella McCrum.

She was born in 1887.  She is on census records for both 1901 (living as a boarder with the MCILWAINES in Ballycraigy) and 1911 (living with her sister Elizabeth McCrum in Shankill).

What I can't find is record of her parents anywhere. I have possibly found her sister Elizabeth as Lizzie McCrum on the 1901 census, living with two brothers John and James under the care of their uncles John and Frances/Francis SIMM CAMPBELLl also in Ballycraigy.

I wondered if her parents died young so trawled death records for possible matches, and also marriage records for any possible Simm Campbell/McCrum marriages. Fruitless so far though.

Does anyone on this forum have any info/crossovers with McCrums/Simms/Campbells in the Carnmoney/Ballycraigy area?

Fingers crossed and thank you!

Was this Isabella's marriage in 1914?  (father's details consistent with what has already been posted):

Also, an Elizabeth McCrum married in 1913 with father given as James (a deceased farmer) and one witness was an Isabella McCrum:

Just a speculative possibility, but a Rebecca Jane Simms was baptised on 16 September 1857 in St. Anne's Church of Ireland Belfast, her parents were recorded as John Simms and Isabella McCleave of Carnmoney.
