Haven't included the family of William 1771, as we are his line and have what we need.

Most of the early recoreds we found in the Shankill Parish records, so believe more clues to our family are in there. I do have more details on the families listed above, but would take a lot to type that out. All these families, for the most part stayed in Lurgan area (Armagh) and then the lines begin to dissapear, partly because male lines die out here and there and also because I have not been able to trace where other lines went too as the generations passed.

 

We are also related to John Douglas born 1786, son of James Douglas and Margaret Heney

Also related to the Douglas family of "John Douglas & sons", linen manufacturers

Would love to connect with anyone who has Douglas roots to Lurgan and who may relate to us ) (We are not the Grace Hall Douglas family).

  • Jennigal,

    You seem to have a fair bit about this family already. Apart from contacting any living descendants, is there any other aspect you need help with?

  • Hi Jennie

    This is a complete long shot but am I wondering if our ancestors are connected.

    We have come to a bit of a dead end in our family search.

    My ancestor William Douglas was born in 1829 in Co Armagh and married a Margaret Quin in Kilmore, Armagh in 1853.

    By 1861 they were living in Tyneside in NE England.

    I visited the church in Kilmore (Stonebridge church) where they were married and saw the register and chatted to the current parish priest. There was no other record of any other Douglas birth, baptism, wedding or funeral.  The priest said it was likely that the bride was from Kilmore and William was from elsewhere – although he said in those days it won’t have been far  - in a nearby village or town. Kinnego is only 5 miles or so.

    There is  a Margaret Douglas who signed as a witness at their wedding but we don’t know whether this was a relative eg sister or other or not.

    His mother may have been called Elizabeth (as he seemed determined to call one of his children Elizabeth – two died in infancy though he had a third) though this is conjecture really.

    Anything before William our trail runs cold.

    As I say its along shot but did any of your ancestors have a relation called William Douglas born around 1829.

    Best wishes

  • Hi Chris

    I wanted to invite you to add your ancestor's details to our XO Chronicles. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others.

  • Hello Chris,

    there is a good chance that your Margaret Quin m. 1853, Kilmore to William Douglas is from a Quin family of the Creenagh-Castleraw townlands area. I have submitted a detailed paper for publication in Ireland regarding these Quins because the mother of famous Irish musician Edward Bunting c.1773 (check wiki) very likely was one of them. You should google for old posts (various sites) by Patsy Norman nee Quin(n) often as "Norquin". Her Quins went from Creenagh Kilmore to Tyneside in mid 1800s. My Australian-Irish Bunting ancestor (William) was born  28 May1836 in Kilmore and baptised a week later.  He likely knew Margaret as a relative from the area.

    We would need to be in email contact for me to send you a copy of my draft paper (28 A4 pages worth) on the history of these Quins, as I can't post here until it is published next year.

    Best wishes,

    Frank

    sorry I never got back to you on this.

    We still never got any futher back with our William Douglas. We know he married Margaert Quin in Kilmore in 1853

    It not definate he was born in 1829 as some England censuses have him born in 1825 or so, so we can't be sure.

    We are looking for his parents (we know Margaret's). Theyhad 11 children (though 4 died in infancy). Those that survived were

    Mary-Ann b1856

    Agnes b1859

    James b1861

    Jane Elizabeth b1865

    Thomas b1868

    Joseph b 1875

    Patrick b 1877

    Best Regards

    Chris
