Boyd,
I want to see if I can locate the inn that the Marshall family had in Pomeroy
in 1839.
As well as the home Gabriel and Hester Marshall Cathcart lived in from perhaps
their marriage in 1839 to I don’t know when.
Perhaps I don’t have a complete understanding of what the Griffiths Valuation
tells me.
I’d like to see if we can locate Spring Lane Farm, County Derry as well as The
Grange. These are mentioned in two family narratives. These documents are typed
and probably have been transcribed from handwritten documents written in 1934
and 1907. So the place name spellings might be incorrect.
Three Cathcart brothers came to Ireland - possibly in 1611
1 - One brother settled at Glen Leary near Coleraine; this was rented land
William Cathcart, cousin of James Cathcart (son of Gilbert and
Margaret married 1765) rented the land at the “time of his cousin James”
“last of the Glen Leary Cathcarts”, Nancy Cathcart was living there in 1883 and
lived at the “old house”
2 - another brother at Ballybay, County Monaghan - “nothing is known of the
Ballybay Cathcarts"
3 - Another brother at the Grange near Maghearfelt – This is my direct line - -
John Cathcart had 3 sons. Gilbert and two others. The two unnamed sons
inherited the Grange. Gilbert purchased Spring Lane Farm in about 1765 when he
married Margaret Steele - See notes below about The Grange and Spring Lane Farm
There’s a cemetery with Cathcart “kin” at Kilcrone Glen [is this Kilcronaghan?]
near Tobermore, County Derry (Is this the Kilcronaghan Parish Churchyard?)
Spring Lane Farm, near Magherafelt, County Derry
A family narrative in my possession says Gilbert Cathcart bought Spring Lane
Farm about 1765 when he married Margaret Steele (Skiel/Skill/Steil) Spring Lane
is near Magherafelt and had 35 Irish acres. The house supposedly predated the
Cathcarts, perhaps back to 1611
The Grange
Gilbert Cathcart’s parents and uncles had the Grange. As of 1883 Samuel
Cathcart of Belfast still owned half the Grange property and Samuel’s sister
was living there. The other half of the Grange was inherited by Marie Cathcart,
a niece of Gilbert Cathcart. A daughter of Marie’s was living there in 1883.
So - that’s what I’m trying to locate. Thank you to all the kind people who
have responded. I think it’s time I explore hiring someone to help me pursue
this further.
Thanks for everyone’s help.
