Black/Fagan/Latimer/Adams

These births and marriages are well before the start of statutory birth and marriage registration in Ireland (1864) and so you would need to rely on church records to locate the events.

I assume your families were RC. Dungannon is within the RC parish of Drumglass. Their baptism and marriage records start in 1821. However they don?t appear to be on-line anywhere. There are however copies in the National Library in Dublin and in PRONI (the Public Record Office) in Belfast. Unfortuntely, a personal visit is required to access either set.

This is the only source I can find that they were from Dungannon,

I have an ancestor who maybe related to these four Black siblings.  Her name was Isabella Black 1805-1869 and lived nearby in Innisfil.  Would not be another siblings due to them already having a sibling named Isabella..

More information can be found on my Irelandxo message titled:

Three possible Hurst brothers from County Tyrone Ireland who immigrated to Canada.   William b 1785, James b pre 1809 and Samuel b 1796      

Another Canadian source I have not looked at yet but want to is a book called: Farms of Innisfil challenges, chores and changes. published 2006 406 pages includes info on the Black family farm (one page or so)

Another book that mentions the Black family was from Dungannon 

The Black family of Innisfil Township, Simcoe County, Province of Ontario : from Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland to Innisfil Township, Simcoe County, Ontario, in 1847 

The family trees were prepared by Mayme Black about 1938.

Additions made by Grace Black after 1940.

This index was prepared in 993.;

Retyped and reprinted with some changes in 2002

(It could be the source that Dungannon was their origin from the 1951 book that I mentioned in the previous post, likely oral history)

Perhalps they went to the church that was available,  The Weslyean Methodists had a travelling minister who wasn't in town every week. 

(1851 census did not survive)

see also a reply from the message "Blacks from Kildress" Susan mentions this location as a possibility

I had not been receiving updates to this thread. Hopefully, I have rectified that. 

I am about to take my 3rd trip to PRONI in Belfast. I now know that John Black married Mary Adams at Ballygawlley Presbyterian church in 1843; Sarah Black married James Neely at Donaghmore Church of Ireland in 1832. I hope to find more dates on this trip.

Perhaps we could share information by emails as I am also interested in the Hurst family? 

Grace Black was my mother and I've been quite involved with Innisifl History for many years. I have provided some of the information you have cited.

Thank you for your response.

I am very aware of the Thomas Black family buried in Bethesda cemetery.

He was not a sibling of my 4 Black siblings who came to Innisfil in 1847.

A have photos and the transcriptions for Bethesda Cemetery.
