Hi
I have another post on the Co Down forum on the Henry family of Shanrod Co Down with a question about a connected Holmes family.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=771865.0The latest posts have returned to the family of my 3x gt grandparents Bryce Henry and Eliza Ewing of Dunsilly Antrim so I am reposting some of the information here. Mostly the information relates to the Ewing family of Coolsythe.
My Ewing family research started with the Will of Eliza Henry nee Ewing who died 14 April 1901. Later in 1999 I visited Ireland for the first time and copied this information from a tombstone in Drummaul burial ground.
Erected by Robert Ewing of Belfast in memory of his parents:
John EWING died 29 Aug 1852 aged 64 b 1788
Mary EWING died 1 Sep 1845 aged 47 b 1798
Also William John EWING died 2 Mar 1919
His wife Sarah died 11 Jan 1903 aged 71
Their dau Maggie EWING died 10 Nov 1903 aged 45
Son John EWING died in infancy
Sarah EWING died 8 Dec 1909
Annie EWING died 19 Jul 1915
Aggie EWING died 28 Sep 1919
Mary EWING died 23 Jan 1925
Eventually that lead to my construction of this family for John Ewing and his wife Molly McKelvy, the two named first on the above tombstone. Jane Ewing has an * as I have not yet found any evidence of her apart from on an Ancestry tree which has no further details. I have placed her in the earlier family on the assumption that she may have married pre 1845.
Eliza EWING b 1820 m c1840 married Bryce HENRY d 1901
Margaret (Peggy) b 1821 m <1845 married Richard FAULKNER d 1906
Jane EWING * married SHAW
Agnes (Nancy) b 1826 m 1847 married William John McAULEY d 1896
Mary EWING b 1831 m 1851 married Robert AGNEW d 1919
Sarah EWING b 1832 m 1853 married Robert HUGHES d 1898
William John EWING b 1835 m 1854 married Sarah HILL d 1919
James EWING b 1838 m 1860 married Margaret RESIDE d1915
Anna EWING b 1843 m1866 married William CRAIG d 1925
Robert EWING b 1845 m 1869 married Annie Maxwell Campbell d 1920
