Hello all,
If anyone is related to, or has knowledge of, the following Belfast families I would appreciate contact.
I am almost positive they are related to my McCalmont family from Islandmagee because Hugh Moore, hopefully 1st cousin of Mary McCalmont & brother of Mary Jane Moore, witnessed both marriages at Trinity Church. Hugh Moore died a bachelor in 1948.
I know there are probably hundreds of Hugh Moore's in Belfast around that time but I live in hope.
Mary McCalmont (died 21 May 1954 aged 73 – d/o Hugh McCalmont a mariner) married Samuel Hawthorne (died 21 December 1934 aged 68 – s/o James) on 8 February 1900 at Trinity Church, Belfast; witnesses: Hugh Moore & Lizzie Simms. They had 11 children.
(1) Minnie Hawthorne – born 15 February 1901
(2) Samuel Hawthorne – born – 13 March 1902

They had at least 9 children.
