Hunter

Hello All  I am looking for the parents of William Hunter born in the 1790`s and Elizabeth Byers born in the 1790`s also . Their marriage is unknown but could be Bailieborough or  Ballyjamesduff because children were born Mary 1817--Joseph 1820--Edward 18224---John 1827 --William 1830 in Ballyjamesduff and Ann 1831--Elizabeth 1836--Thomas 1838--Samuel 1840 born Bailieborough  .   Mary--Joseph and Edward came to Melbourne Australia  1842 and the rest came to Adelaide  Australia  in1846 .  Cannot trace the deaths of William and Elizabeth  Hunter in Australia .   Lokking for their Irish families  line . 

Warm regards from Australia   Laurie Thompsom  Melbourne   Australia 

May your troubles be small and your  efforts be galore

May only good thoughts and good people enter your door . 

Hi Laurie,  

Trying to trace family and linking them to Irish relatives is diffucult, unless others have their family history done.  Judging on the information you have, that you have worked hard on this.   The name Byers would be associated with the Ballyjamesduff area and it would be usual for the marriage to take place where the bride was from.    

On Roots Ireland there are church records, if your family is Church of Ireland the records are available for

Bailieborough Baptisms1822 - 1873 Marriages 1809 - 1920 & Deaths 1809 - 1920

Billis  Baptisms1896 - 1920 Marriages 1851 - 1918 (may include Ballyjamesduff)

For Methodist 

Bailieborough Baptisms 1878 - 1919 Marriages 1881 - 1919 No death records

Ballyjamesduff Baptisms 1876 - 1919 Marriages 1886 - 1917 No death records

For Presbyterians 

Bailieborough Marriages 1845 - 1920 & Ballyjamesduff & Billasis Baptisms 1826 - 1876

Alternatively you can contact the local paper The Anglo Celt and give them your contact details and ask them to publish your story, if you have photos and can broaden the story out, they may publish it and it may reach someone who has a story about some of their relatives that went to Australia, you never know.  Also keep looking for burial records as all the time people are transcribing gravestones and these records are being published.  

I hope this is of some use to you.
