Looking for information on my Great Grandfather Francis Hyde and my Great Grandmother Mary Morrow.

Francis Hyde was born Aug. 14, 1844 in Magheragall and married Mary Morrow on Aug 14, 1877 in the May St Presbyterian Church, Belfast.  Mary Morrow was born March 10, 1859 in Ballymacbrennan, Lisburn. She was baptized April 6, 1860 in St. Anne, Shankill.  It is possible her parents were William Morrow and Mary Echlin, and may have had a brother John.

Francis Hyde's father may have been Joseph Hyde.

2 of Francis and Mary's children were born in Ireland.  They were Joseph William Hyde born Aug 17, 1878 in Ballymacbrennan, and Sarah Laura Hyde born Nov 24, 1879 in Alloa St., Belfast.

The remainder of their children were born in Scotland where they lived before immigrating to Canada.

I would appreciate any information.  Attached are pictures of Francis Hyde and Mary Morrow.

    Francis & Mary?s marriage is registered in Belfast 1877 Volume 11 Page 416. The indexes on the UHF site confirms their fathers were Joseph & William. If you order a copy of the marriage certificate you may get some additional information eg fathers occupations, witnesses and some addresses for the couple.

     

    I notice a James Morrow of Ballymacbrennan is listed as one of the Lisburn Poor Law Guardians in 1910. http://www.libraryireland.com/UlsterDirectory1910/Lisburn.php
