Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] New to CTI, looking for information on Chambers family

[Len Swindley]

Hello Tom,

Am not sure if we can assist you with your enquiry re. your Chambers 
Tyrone-born forebears with the data you have provided.

Referring to Griffiths Valuation c1860 
http://www.cotyroneireland.com/burial/ardstraw.html there are 46 Chambers 
households recorded in Co. Tyrone. What firm evidence do your relations have to 
claim descent from John and Martha Chambers of Newtownstewart?

Newtownstewart lies within Ardstraw parish; there are no pre1837 surviving 
church records: Ardstraw Church of Ireland registers were destroyed in Dublin 
in 1922; 1st Ardstraw Presb. registers commence 1837; 1st Newtownstewart Presb. 
registers comm. 1890 & 2nd Newtownstewart Presb. commence 1846. Church records 
are not useful to your search.

Perhaps your cousins found the records of John’s and Martha’s deaths from my 
file of Ardstraw deaths 1860-69 on the cotyroneireland website? 
http://www.cotyroneireland.com/burial/ardstraw.html Have looked at their death 
certs/ newspaper announcements and the only additional information gleaned is 
that their deaths took place in Main Street, Newtownstewart. Do the names John 
and Martha appear in the family of Thomas, the druggist?

Considering that there were 46 Chambers households in Co. Tyrone c1860, the 
options seem many. Any further information would be most welcome; enjoy your 
forthcoming holiday in Ireland,

Regards, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] New to CTI, looking for information on Chambers 
family

Hello, my name is Tom Chambers and I am looking for information on the Chambers 
family.

I am new to the Co Tyrone site so I am looking for a little help.  Based on 
information I have from relatives in the USA, it appears my great great 
grandfather came from Newtownstewart.   We are traveling to Ireland in June, so 
I want to find where the family came from and maybe find some living relatives.

If I have the correct location for my relatives in Ireland, I can provide 
information on my Chambers relatives in the USA.

Dr Thomas Chambers (1823-1876) supposedly came from Newtownstewart.  He sailed 
the ship John Stuart from Liverpool to New York in 1852 at age 29.  He lived 
the rest of his life in New York City and worked as a Pharmacist (Druggist).   
In my cousin’s records, he thinks Thomas’s parents were John Chambers 
(1796-1867) and Martha (1794-1866).

My lineage is:
Dr Thomas Chambers (1823-1876)
  George Keller Chambers Sr
George Keller Chambers Jr
  Dalton George Chambers
Thomas Keller Chambers (1950)   that’s me.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I am using Ancestry.com and have had my DNA tested with them.
By the way, I found a baptismal record for a Thomas Chambers 1823 in Clones, 
Monaghan, Ireland.  Not sure if that is a match or not.

Tom
