OK - returning to my original post question...
Is Charles Dickey of Millmount (CoM) (1761 - 1827) related by blood to the Hollybrook Dickeys, in particular to Adam Dickey Snr (d. 1806)
In that first post I posited some tantalizing clues... some admittedly tenuous, eg...
* the fact that a grandson of Adam Snr (Edward Dickey) was nominated to administer the will of a descendant of Com (Clara M McCreight) I now consider to be a very weak link between the two families. Possibly a 6 degrees of separation coincidence.
I'd like to focus on another fact; that Charles was a co-executor of Adam Snr's will. The only indication I have of this is from a newspaper public notice (which for copy-write reasons I cannot post here)
Dissolution of Cotton Spinning Partnership (1810)
19 February 1810
Randalstown, Antrim
Belfast Commercial Chronicle
The notice ends
"Jas & Chas Dickey
Exts late Adam Dickey"
Exts = Presumably 'Executors'.
The late Adam Dickey died 4 MARCH 1806 • Hollybrook, Randalstown. I've had no luck finding any will records with PRONI (via Pre-1858 Name-search) and National Archives will calendars only go back to 1858.
I'd like to corroborate that Charles was Adam Snr's executor. I know in itself it doesn't confirm a familial link between the two men.
