I am looking for any information about William Thomas McCullough who was born on 25 January 1893 in Kircubbin.  His father's name was Robert and his mother's name was Elizabeth (known as Lizzie).  William married Mary Wilhelmina Finlay in 1915 in Comber, Down.  After she passed away he married Beatrice Alice Halliday in Belfast in 1924.  They emigrated to New Zealand in September 1924.  William had a younger brother Robert George who also emigrated to New Zealand.  I believe they had siblings named Joseph, John, Edith and Sarah.

  • Hi Janice,

    I searched www.rootsireland.ie for a marriage record for Robert and Lizzie.  there were a number of records (as we don't know Lizzie's surname to pinpoint), however one record stood out for me.

    I also jfound the family on the 1901 census at Blackhall Street Kircubbin

    Robert 29,   Lizzie 28,  William thomas 8,  Joseph 6,  John 4,  Robert George  0

    You can read all the detail on the irish census (free view).  I can't however find the family in the 1911 census.  

    Hope this helps you on your journey.

    Kind regards,

  • McCullough family in 1911:

    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Down/Kircubben/Kircubbin/266199/

     

    Mary Finlay’s marriage to Wm Thomas was registered in Ards on 9th June 1915. His marriage to Beatrice Halliday was registered on 18th June 1924. You can view the original certificates on-line on the GRONI website, using the “search registrations” option:

    https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk

    You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2 (sterling) to a view a certificate.

     

    One of these looks likely to be Beatrice in 1911:
