Liz,
To add to Dave’s information, the townland where Thomas James Latimer was living when he married in 1852 was Cranny. Griffiths Valuation lists 2 Latimer families there c 1860. Plot 9 was Andrew and plot 10 was Thomas, suggesting the 2 may be related. (Both farms are easy enough to locate today. Still farmland, on the modern Iniscarn Rd). Probate abstracts from the PRONI wills site: The Will of John Latimer late of Cranny County Londonderry Farmer who died 27 January 1889 at same place was proved at Londonderry by James Sands of Lecumpher and Henry Porter of Killyboggin in said County Farmers the Executors. Probate of the Will of Catherine Latimer late of Cranny County Londonderry Widow who died 18 February 1898 granted at Londonderry to Andrew Latimer of Lecumpher said County and Thomas George Johnson of Cranny Farmers. Both wills are on-line on the PRONI wills site. John left his farm to his wife Catherine, and a bequest to his son Samuel in Philadelphia, USA. Catherine left the farm to Samuel. Her will mentions 2 daughters. 2 Latimer households in the 1831 census of Cranny (beside each other): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1831/Londonderry/Loughinshollen/Desertmartin/Cranny/25/ http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1831/Londonderry/Loughinshollen/Desertmartin/Cranny/26/ Family were Presbyterian, so for baptism records pre 1864 you would need to search the local Presbyterian churches. Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church. Daughters Sarah & Eliza both married in Lecumpher Presbyterian so that may be the family church. It’s records start in 1825 (copy in PRONI). https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1878/11100/8062634.pdf https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1868/11446/8204678.pdf Andrew Latimer’s marriage here (again in Lecumpher). His father was Robert, so possibly he’s a brother to your Thomas James Latimer. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1866/11551/8248771.pdf That household in the 1901 census (Andrew dead). http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Brackaghslievegallion/Lecumpher/1533753/ Elwyn On Sun, 2 Oct 2022 at 18:54, dm60--- via CoTyroneList < [email protected]> wrote: > > > Hello Liz > > In case you haven't got this, here's the link to the marriage register for > the 1852 marriage -- James Lattimer and Matilda Sloan.
