Death of Margaret Lennox, 1896, Aughrim, widow, age 85
« on: Friday 13 March 20 21:39 GMT (UK) »
I have been looking for the death of Margaret Lennox, nee Marshall, who was the mother of Rachel Margaret Lennox baptised Apr 7, 1844 at Wood's Chapel. Rachel's father was John Lennox.
I have found the death of a Margaret Lennox on Sept 13, 1896 in Aughrim, widow of a farmer. If this is the correct Margaret, she had a daughter Mary who lived in Bristol, who was present at death. But I can't make out the surname of the daughter. Could anyone help me?
Rachel was the second wife of Andrew Johnston and their marriage was Aug 13, 1875 at Wood's Chapel. I have a post about Andrew and his first wife on the Co. Tyrone site but I don't know how to link these posts. Andrew was from Urbal, Coagh, Co. Tyrone and his father was Joseph but I don't have Andrew's mother's name.
If I knew Mary's surname, perhaps I could find her in Bristol, and see if it is possible that she is Margaret Lennox nee Marshall's daughter.
thanks

Thank you Milliepede. You are definitely on the right track.  With the information that you have sent, I found another daughter Margaret Lennox Slatter born in 1881.
Mary Lennox was born in Co. Derry, for sure, if she belonged to John Lennox and Margaret Marshall. She would be a younger child as I have Rosanna 1830, Edward 1832, Francis John 1834, possible Matthew 1838,for sure Rachel Margaret Lennox 1844 and now Mary 1848. From Margaret's death cerificate, we know that Mary was her daughter, but is this person Margaret nee Marshall? I really think so.
You are terrific and have helped so much. Mary's address at the time of the death of her mother Margaret was 2 Bishop Street, St. Paul's, Bristol. I don't know if that agrees with the census for 1901 as I don't have ancestry.
Now I need to verify if John Lennox and Margaret Marshall had a daughter Mary abt 1848. You are terrific. Thank you again

There is an Albert E. Slatter born abt 1879 who emigrated to New York in 1907, final destination Winnipeg, Manitoba. Probably son Albert to Joseph Slatter and Mary Lennox.

I have ordered Joseph Millard Slatter's will. Expected date of delivery Mar 29,2020. I hope so. Last ones that I ordered took  several months.
