Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Taggart/McKeever: Donagheady Parish Presbyterian Records

2019-08-19 Thread elwyn soutter via CoTyroneList
The PRONI guide to church records make no mention of any earlier
records. Their catalogue was compiled in the 1980s, and is pretty
accurate. (Where there are earlier records held somewhere else, it
usually says something like “in local custody” or held by the
“Presbyterian Historical Society.”).

The Kirk Session clerk’s contact details are easily found from a
Google search and the church is also on Facebook, so you could try
contacting either of them to ask, but I’d be quite surprised if there
are any records not already acknowledged in the public domain.

1854 and 1863 but those years are before the start of statutory birth

Francis and his wife Mary and daughters emigrated to US in 1880. Mary died 6 
months later and Francis died 28 September 1883. Margaret b 1854 died in NYC 10 
November 1906. Jane died 8 October 1881 in NYC. They were both seamstress. I

Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Taggart/McKeever

2019-08-18 Thread elwyn soutter via CoTyroneList
Looking at the PRONI catalogue of church records, there are 3
Presbyterian churches in Donagheady that the Taggart family might have
attended. Donagheady 1st seems to have lost its early records and has
nothing before 1875; Donagheady 2nd has records from 1838 and Donemana
from 1856.  If John was baptised around 1851 the only one with any
records is obviously the 2nd. There’s a copy of those records in PRONI
(the public record office) in Belfast. They are not on-line there, so
a personal visit is required to view them.

Having said that, my hunch is that the family church was Donemana.
That’s because Sarah Taggart from Liscloon (presumably a sister to
John) married there on 25.11.1854. Her husband was William McEgan from
Kildoge. Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church, so
probably/possibly it’s the Taggart family church. If so, it seems
unlikely there’s any record of John’s baptism. However you may get
some of his siblings if they were born after 1855.

I note from the Valuation revision records that Francis Taggart’s name
remains against plot 8a (an agricultural labourer’s cottage) in
Liscloon Lower until 1877. He presumably either moved or died around
that year.

There were no Taggarts in Liscloon Lower in the 1901 census.

I am looking for my great grandparents births. John Taggart lived in Liscloon, 
Donaghedy Parish in June 1851. His parents were Francis Taggart and Mary 
Breesen?Brisland married 2December1833 COI, Cumberland Upper, Co Derry. In 
Griffiths Valuation Francis was a tenant of William Oligby. John immigrated to 
NYC in 1868. I have the US side but have only the GV on the Irish side. Are 
there any Taggart’s still living there? John’s wife was Margaret McKeever from 
Moneycannon. They were married in NYC in 1872 at a Presbyterian Church so have 
to assume they were Presbyterian. She immigrated in 1870 with her mom Mary 
McLaughin. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Pat
