RALSTON - WILLIAM BORN... CIRC...1801.....IRELAND
    MARRIED
    SARAH GALBRAITH born... Circ....1801......IRELAND
 
    Children
    .MARY....B....1819....IRELAND
    JAMES....B....1825....IRELAND
    SAMUEL ....B....1828....IRELAND
    SARAH......1830.....IRELAND
    GEORGE......1833...IRELAND
    ROBERT.....1834.....IRELAND
    DAVID......1836......IRELAND
    JOSEPH.....1838....IRELAND
 
 
I am unable to find a marriage for William and Sarah and if any of you are able to locate it I would be very much appreciate your assistance in finding anything on this family in Ireland
 
 
I have 1851 Census proof that this family was in Ireland and there is another problem that I cant and does not give a Parish where it was it only states IRELAND
 
There is talk that this family moved from Ireland to Scotland and this is where we last found them before Samuel ( My line ) come to Australia where he died in 1875....at Daylesford area Victoria Australia .....

The problem is without  Townland Town or area, it is very difficult to find people, I do know -  I live here (Ireland)

Hi Pammy
 
Found these listed under RALSTON in Griffiths Valuations 1848-1864.  They were either property / landowners or they leased property or land.
 
It looks like the Ralstons came from the North of Ireland, as all these counties are either in the North (Down, Armagh, Antrim) or border counties (Monaghan and Louth).  So this would narrow down our search a bit!

You're welcome, Pammy.
 
Am sending more info to you by e-mail as it's too much to put on site.
 
All the best.

Thank you Maz

Very much appreciated

Also when you asked about Maria O'Brien did you mean a connection with my O'Briens or my friends family RALSTON

Thanks again

Pam

Hi Pammy
 
No, the Marie O'Brien I mentioned is connected with your friend's family (Ralston).

Hi Maz and Mike
Many Many thanks for your fantastic information re William RALSTON , my girlfriend was ecstatic.
Should i try for my Tim Obrien and his wife Jane Nee Kane again i wonder,

Or I could try for my elusive George Henry JONES...Jones is such an easy name to research...NOT   ,lol
Hugs and thanks again
Pam
