I am looking for  any information regarding James CHAMBERS and Martha CHAMBERS nee HOLLAND.

their children were Elizabeth - 2nd May 1866 Ballydugan, knocknamuckly, Martha December 1868, Susanna December 1869, Sophia 29th January 1872 born at Ballydugan  and Robert 22nd November 1876 Ballydugan

Martha CHAMBERS (HOLLAND) died 17th September1919 Susanna was with her. James CHAMBERS died 11th February 1907 Susanna was with him also.

Martha CHAMBERS (the daughter) had a daughter Edith born 1st March 1892 at Ballydugan Elizabeth CHAMBERS was the informant .

Susanna had a daughter Margaret 1898

Sophia had twin girls Caroline and Frances 17th May 1902 at Ballnagarrick. Sally Anne Holland from Bleary was the informant.

Sophia went on to marry WilliamJames  Dougherty at the Newmills Pres Church 13th July 1908, John and Sarah Jane ADAMSON were their witnesses, they  went to 90 Brittanic Street St George Antrium. In 1912 they were still there as they both signed the Ulster Covenant at the town hall. I do not know if they had any more children. William died 7th December 1857  buried at Glenalina cemetery Belfast - his death cert has him as a widower, still living at 90 Britannic Street

Susanna went onto marry William John SMITH from Monbrief 18th April 1910 at the time Susanna was living at Corcreavy . William John MULHOLLAND and Edith CHAMBERS were their witnesses. The couple came out to New Zealand with her daughter Margaret and Sophia's daughter Caroline (who was my grandmother) .

Caroline known as May was told her sister Frances died but I have found no evidence of this.
