Can you tell me if possible James Wifes Name

 

Mike

It mentions some of Debarahs Children were born in Ards,

Ards is county Down

 

Mike

If i have Correct James Lafferty He married Ann Hill in Greenock Renfrewshire in 1862 They were Living together before Going to Scotland,In the 1851 Census James Lafferty aged 27 And Ann Lafferty aged 24.

The confusing Part is Was James Married before in Antrim.As it gives Deborah Born 1840 Then with Ann hill another Deborah Born 1865

 

Mike

thankyou so much

 

these as far as i know are the corect family

 

i have ann hill as james wife as i have her death cert

 

it just gives her birth as ireland

 

james and ann also had a son james who married elizabeth galbraith in 1878

 

my grandmother was thier third daughter  jane

 

again many thanks     chrissey

once again many thanks    its confusing james could have been married before or the marrige date is wrong

 

i have ann hills father down as a vetinerary surgeon on her death cert   if that was the case she married down as james is as far as i know listed as a labouer

 

none of it seems to tie in

 

chrissey

Hi Chriss,Totally agree.I did find the Gabraith one Her Name was Elizabeth.It means ann had her First child while very young.Aged about 14.Maybe thats why they never Married untill that date.The second Family Were named after some of other Children.

 

Just feel that he was Married before,At first i was Confused .The strange thing is James Born Antrim.

Deborahs   Children born in Down,Then Renfrew,So back and forth.Looking on a map Down and Antrim Border each other.Plus you have Armagh.What i can see is Anns parents were Robert Hill and Nancy Glover

There was a James Lafferty Who married a Mary Wallace but this Marriage took place in Armagh 05 NOV 1846  Kilmore Armagh, Ireland

But later than Birth of Deborah So i Dismissed.

Either Someone has Submitted Wrong Dates Or as we said Two Marriages

Either Way very Confusing

 

Mike

 

Chriss I checked out the Irish Family History Foundation

For records

Early records Show the Name as Laverty Or Lafferty

 Church Baptism Laverty James 1808 Co. Antrim
 Church Baptism Laverty James 1826 Co. Down

 Church Baptism Laverty James 1828 Co. Antrim
 Church Baptism Lafferty James 1829 Co. Antrim Only Lafferty Listed

 

Think this is Possibly Anns baptism Record

Church Baptism Hill Ann 1828 Co. Antrim
But then i found two for Down

Church Baptism Hill Anne 1835 Co. Down
 Church Baptism Hill Anne 1836 Co. Down

 

There was one Marriage that Sticks out

Marriage Hill Robert 1825 Co. Down

 

So its Possible ann was back and Forth to Parents in Down

 

Mike

thankyou mike

 

its a nightmare

 

looking at the hill marrige its more likely that ann was born around 1828 as i have her death age as 70 in 1900

 

many thanks again

 

chrissey

hi mike

 

ive just had another look at ann s death cert and her name is ann without the e

 

so it must be the first one

 

again thankyou
