It appears that her father was a military settler so any are possible but it was most likely Canada or the USA. Bill McCullough notes William Cowie on the Scotch Line was her great grandfather. Janet and Robert Cowie came to Perth in the 1830's via the USA. Robert Cowie was married to Henrietta Adams. Henrietta's brother John Adams farmed and taught music. John Adams and his wife (?) adopted his wife's niece, Louise McKay who later married Ralph Dodds. Their granddaughter, a Mrs. Ferrier lives across the road from the John Adams farm.

| 752 | (Research):https://www.murrayscheese.com/colin-ming-scholarship-program Colin Ming was a cherished member of the Murray's Cheese family who joined the company in 2015 and served as Regional Team Lead for our National team in the Kroger enterprise. He sadly passed away in June 2019. Colin made a significant impact at Murray's and Kroger in the four years he spent with our team, and in the broader cheese and beverage communities before that. Colin was known for his insatiable passion for food, his love of teaching and for his team, and above all, for his compassion and authenticity. Colin was in the process of preparing to take his CCP exam this past summer when he unexpectedly passed. Although he was not able to complete his studies, Murray's Cheese wants to make sure that other mongers who embody the same traits of inspirational leadership, kindness, warmth and professional poise have the opportunity to do so. The Colin Ming CCP Scholarship will both memorialize Colin's impact on our industry as well as continue his mission to share his passion for cheese with other mongers. https://guyaneseonline.net/2021/04/13/opinion-colin-ming-a-shining-light-by-dave-martins/ A SHINING LIFE ? By Dave Martins Two days ago, out of the blue, I had an awful experience with the sudden death of a friend here, Colin Ming, in a traffic accident (he was on a motorbike) that just shattered me. Why I'm not really sure. We were not boyhood companions, but perhaps because our friendship goes back to those times, many years ago, when the Tradewinds trips to Guyana began, and my career as a musician was building, and Colin's love for the songs was a kind of glue, always there between us as is our love for Guyana. Very early I saw he was a rock, this guy, with various issues in Guyana. He was very involved in various sports matters, a very principled man, and it was a joy to be around him. Marvellous sense of humour, always in play, and his laugh was like bells ringing; it just took him over completely, no matter what the occasion, where he was, who was listening?Colin's laugh would consume him, total release, it would transform his face, affecting people nearby, causing stares, he didn't seem to notice the reaction, and his ethics, his veracity, those things were always in play, day or night, big or small. His death truly rocked me. Partly because it was so sudden and so unswerving. I heard he was in a traffic accident and in hospital, and almost in the same breath, I heard he had been severely injured, and that he had died. It tore me up. Colin, for me, was one of those totally good people, no blemishes I knew of, always the same, always supporting and amiable and solid. A friend with no drama, no issues, everything easy. I felt his loss as if he had been my son. I don't really know why. We were not daily companions, by any means, but I felt this weight of grief; it brought me to tears. It's two days now and I'm still stunned and not sure as to why it did me in so. Perhaps the totally pointless manner of his going, so much so I know I would not be able to go to his funeral; a deep, deep sadness and so meaningless. It came like a wave, unravelled me, and the crazy suddeness of it, and the quality this man had, naturally so, no fanfare, no splashy behaviour, just a class individual, and to be taken like that; in my head, it felt like some kind of madness. This, of course, is my panorama which is limited. I didn't have the day-to-day experiences in his family circle and people he interacted with. I know virtually nothing about his early experiences and the things and people who shaped him, like his brother Stanley, but from my limited lens I realized early on that this was a special man, integrity was a big issue with him, and that drew me, as it did others.. Each of us comes to know people with a unique dedication to a discipline or a cause; it is almost like an aura that surrounds them as they go through their days. It's not something you can touch or photograph, but it is nonetheless as real and as vivid as if it were. And indeed, it is real. So it was, with Colin Ming. It is human nature to look for explanations for pivotal things, to help us cope with the trauma of a loss, and so I look at this episode, and try to make sense of it while fully knowing the futility of such a search. There really is no answer; the vicissitudes of life, some glorious, some rending, are playing out, coming at us again and again, leaving us searching for answers, seeking out comfort, leaving us with more questions than answers, but still not leaving us alone. As I write this, the trauma is already happening, obviously in his family, in that tight inner circle, and in the people, many of them in the sports field, with whom he interacted and with the many who were recipients of his giving nature. I can't speak for others, but purely from my own lens, there remains the unrelenting "why" of these matters which are so overwhelming that our minds naturally remain engaged on the issue. And I know that I am not alone here. Clearly, many others know the creation called Colin Ming, many even better than I knew him, and for them, too, his sudden demise leaves them similarly groping for answers, for clarity. A man apart, this one. Truly, a shining life. maybe ???????????? Colin Ming ADDED BY GUYANESE ONLINE FROM Guyana Chronicle:- April 9, 2021 ? re Colin Ming Over the last week, tributes poured in from sport bodies across the country. 'One of his overriding passions was the promotion of sports to youths, especially those who were in need, and it was in that spirit he donated hundreds of golf clubs to the NexGen Golf Academy for the school programme, a release said. Ming was a former secretary of the Guyana Squash Association (GSA) and also president of the Caribbean Area Squash Association (CASA). 'He spent endless hours over the years at the Georgetown Club on the squash courts working on the physical as well as the mental skills of his students and on fine-tuning their games. They all reaped the success of his exploits.' a GSA release said. Ming was also a vice-president of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG). | Ming, Colin (I57176)

| 753 | (Research):https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=342167.18 "The Hills were among the earliest of the linen merchants to establish a mass bleaching plant." Hillmount, a fine three-storey Georgian mill-owner's house, was built by one of this family perhaps about 1720, probably around 1760, certainly before 1778. Shown to be the seat of Mr John Hill in Lendrick's map of 1780, and Williamson's revision of 1808. It seems that the Hills prospered during the Napoleonic wars, adding the handsome single-storey bow-fronted bays at either side, and excavating the lake in front of the house when "the material taken out was distributed in such a way as to suggest to a stranger the remains of extensive earthworks". But by 1825 Mr Hill had failed; he was imprisoned for debt in Carrickfergus Gaol, and it was there that the purchase of the house, bleach-green and mill was negotiated by Dr William Young, one of the ubiquitous Youngs of Ballymena. n 1768 land was advertised for sale, apparently as being in the estate of Rolleston Humphrey Esq (Belfast Newsletter, 5th Feb 1768). It included: "?that Parcel of Ground called Barley-Hill, with several Houses, Tenements and Gardens, now in the Possession of James Cobham, Thomas and James Magill, James Penny, Matthew Barry and William Barkley?" However, this was countered on the 12th February: WHEREAS an Advertisement has been inserted in the Belfast News-Paper, that some Lands and Tenements near the Town of Carrickfergus, in the Possession of James Magill, Thomas Magill, James Cobham, Matthew Barry, and others, called the Estate of Rolleston Humphry, Esq.; are to be sold. This is therefore to give Notice, that Michael Savage, by his last Will and Testament, bearing Date the 17th Day of December, 1678, did devised the said Lands and Tenements to Thomas Orpin, and Sarah his Wife, their Heirs, or either of them, for ever: That the said Thomas Orpin, by his last Will and Testament, bearing Date the 21st Day of August, 1719, bequeathed the Tenements adjoining the Barley Hill to Mary Barry, otherwise Wissencroft; Margaret (F/P)eny, otherwise Wissencroft, and Others, who are now in the actual Possession of said Tenement, and have been for these 34 Years past: That the said Mary and Margaret, as also Ann Laverty, otherwise Wissencroft, and Martha Peny, otherwise Wissencroft, the Grand Children of said Thomas Orpin, are the lawful Heirs of said Lands and Tenements: That neither the aforesaid Rolleston Humphry, nor any other Person whatsoever has an Right or Title to sell said Lands of Tenements; whereof every one designed to purchase said Lands or Tenements, or any Part thereof, are desired to take Notice. Dated at Carrickfergus, this 10th Day of Feb. 1768. I'm guessing the Matthew Barry mentioned was married to Mary Barry, otherwise Wissencroft. So potentially it could have been: Matthew BARRY married Mary WISSENCROFT, granddaughter of Thomas ORPIN? - Matthew BARRY married Ann REILEY, daughter of Garret REILEY Here's a connection between my last post and the Hills of Hillsmount. Belfast Newsletter, 1st March 1771: To be set and entered upon immediately, in the Liberties of Carrickfergus, one Farm of Land called Carnamrock, on which the late Mr. Matthew Barry lived. Said Farm contains 36 Acres, Plantation Measure, and is divided into proper Parks, with Quickset Hedges, and is very convenient to Lime. Proposals to be received for the above Farm by John Hill of Hillsmount, near Ballymena. No Preference to be given to any one. Also four small Farms to be let in Drumra by said John Hill. The above Advertisement to be continued only four Times. Dates this 23d Day of Feb. 1771. So one Matthew Barry dead by 1771, another still alive in 1773 ? Belfast Newsletter 28th May ? 1st June 1773: To be set from the first Day of November next, for such Term as may be agreed upon, a Farm of Land, situate in the North-East Division of the Liberties of Carrickfergus, known by the Name of Bashford's Land, containing about 37 Acres, all Arable and Meadow. Proposals in Writing will be received by James Bashford, at his House in Belfast; and the Lands will be shewn by Matthew Barry who lives on and takes Care of said Farm. Dated May 31, 1773. This to be continued four Times. Belfast Newsletter, 24th Apr 1772: Dropt on the Road betwixt Ballymena and Portglenone, on Saturday last, a Silver Watch, Maker, William Birnie, Dublin, No. 46; on the outer Case is engraved a Coat of Arms; the Crest a Hand and broken Spear; Dial-plate enamelled, Steel Chain, two Seals; on one of them an H and E in Cypher on one Side, on the other a Hawk; on the other Seal, which is Triangular, is the same Arms in different Sides, &c. Whoever returns said Watch, &c. to Mr. John Hill at Hillsmount, near Cullybackey, Mr. Hugh Edmonston, Merchant in Ballymena, Mr. Andrew Crawford, Merchant in Portglenone, or the Printers hereof, shall have a Guinea Reward. Dated 21st April, 1772. Belfast Newsletter, 3rd-7th November 1775: WHEREAS on Sunday Night last, being the 29th of October, the Bleach-yard of John and Charles Hill of Hillsmount, near Ballymena, in the County of Antrim, was audaciously entered into by some Villains unknown, who feloniously lifted and carried off said Bleach-yard nin Piexces of 3-4th and 8-8th wide Linen, the Property of John, Charles, and James Hill? I wonder what relationship John, Charles and James were to each other. Note on the Orpins, again from The History of Carrickfergus: "John Orpin was a pewterer and plumber and of mean descent; the way he came to improve his fortune was by being one of the Executors of the Lady Langford, by which he got considerable, but not justly." He died 1661, leaving his possessions here to his son Thomas, a glazier, who died 1719, bequeathing his property to his eldest son John, and his daughter Margaret Wisencraft, and offspring. ? Gill's MSS. MS. Belfast Newsletter, 6th Dec 1768: On Tuesday last was married, Mr. John Hill of Drumra in the County of Antrim, Linen Draper, to Miss Berry of Carrickfergus, an agreeable young lady, with a Fortune of 1500l. 1776 ? Charles Hill, Drumra ? listed in the Deputy Court Cheque Book, election for Antrim 1776 ? James Hill, Drumra ? listed in the Deputy Court Cheque Book, election for Antrim 1778 ? a T. Hill, Esq., of Drumra raised a corps called the Portglenone Volunteers I think Drumra may be Drumraw, a townland roughly halfway between Portglenone and Cullybackey. Now that I've put John Hill and Anne Barry's marriage into my tree it has brought up another tree on Ancestry. It has John Hill's parents as the Rev. J. Hill and Ann Moore. It has Anne Barry's parents as Matthew Barry and Ann Coleman. I don't know what the sources are. Before seeing the above tree I remember making a mental note about a Rev. J Hill who I thought might be connected to John Hill of Hillmount. I can't remember where I saw it though! Hillmount House, Cullybackey I've just realised this was one of my favourite houses featured in Brett's Buildings of County Antrim. He says: "The Hills were among the earliest of the linen merchants to establish a mass bleaching plant." Hillmount, a fine three-storey Georgian mill-owner's house, was built by one of this family perhaps about 1720, probably around 1760, certainly before 1778. Shown to be the seat of Mr John Hill in Lendrick's map of 1780, and Williamson's revision of 1808. It seems that the Hills prospered during the Napoleonic wars, adding the handsome single-storey bow-fronted bays at either side, and excavating the lake in front of the house when "the material taken out was distributed in such a way as to suggest to a stranger the remains of extensive earthworks". But by 1825 Mr Hill had failed; he was imprisoned for debt in Carrickfergus Gaol, and it was there that the purchase of the house, bleach-green and mill was negotiated by Dr William Young, one of the ubiquitous Youngs of Ballymena. I'm still convinced John Hill of Hillmount was dead by 1788, so if there was still a John Hill there in 1808 I think it was someone else. In 1827 the "House and Lands of Drumra, situated on the main road communicating between the considerable Market Towns of Ballymena and Portglenone" was to let, with applications to be made to Mr. Thomas Hill, Hillmount, Ballymena. In 1829 there are ads for the "Bleach Mills, House, & Lands of Hillmount, situated about 3 miles from Ballymena" which were to be sold by auction in September. The ad also mentions the lands and mansion house of Drumra, also for sale. "Further particulars may be known by applying to Thomas Hill, Hillmount, Ballymena." The adds stop in September 1829, so presumably the properties were sold. However, new ads reappear in 1832 for an auction in July that year, now just for the Hillmount properties (not Drumra) ? "for particulars, apply to Alex. & John Montgomery, Belfast". This time it looks like there was no sale, because the ads continue, with a new auction date set for September 21st, then 29th October and finally the 14th December at which point they stop again. The Warder and Dublin Weekly Mail, 8th May 1833, lists Thomas Hill, late of Hillmount, county Antrim, bleacher as an insolvent debtor, his case to be heard on the 23rd May. In May 1833: "HILLMOUNT BLEACH GREEN: the interest in the Lease to be Sold" with proposals to be received by "Mr. B. Alex. Cannon, No. 4, D'Olier-Street, Dublin; or John Gower, Esq., Roundwood-park, Newtown, Mount-Kennedy." April 1834: "To be sold or let" ? "Proposals will be received ? by John Gower [as above] ? Thomas Reilly, at Hillmount, will show the Premises." Belfast Commercial Chronicle, 11 May 1836: Of typhus fever, at Hillmount, near Ballymena, on the 7th inst. Margaret, wife of Robert Young, Esq. and daughter of Wm. Gihon, of Hillhead, Esq. After this, as suggested by Brett, the Youngs continue at Hillmount for a few decades. (Incidentally, Robert Young was my 1st cousin 5 times removed.) Offline Gilby RootsChat Veteran ***** Posts: 620 Census information Crown Copyright, from www.nationalarchives.gov.uk View Profile Re: Hill family of Larne, Hillmount and Ballymena Hillmount House, Larne Not to be outdone by the Hills of Ballymena, the Hills of Larne also appear to have had a "Hillmount House". This ad is from the Belfast Commercial Chronicle, 2nd Nov 1822: TO BE LET. For any Term no exceeding Twenty-One Years. Hillmount House and Gardens, with or without the Farm attached thereto. The House and Offices are in complete condition for the reception of a genteel Family ? situate on the Sea Shore, in a beautiful Bay, on the Road from Larne to Glenarm, within 1 ?a miles of the former. The beauty of the situation, fine air, and Sea-bathing, cannot be exceeded. Apply (if by Letter, post-paid) to the Proprietor, GEORGE HILL, Larne, Oct. 23, 1822. Is this the George Hill who married Mary Hill of Hillmount, Cullybackey? This could be his death, Limerick Evening Post, 1st Jul 1828: At Larne, George Hill, Esq. That's not very informative, but a copy of his will survives at PRONI. The Derry Journal, 22nd Sep 1835, contains a report that on one night in the neighbourhood of Larne, three valuable horses were stolen: ?one belonging to Mr Robert Shaw, of Cairncastle, another to Mr Joseph Barr, of Ballycraigey, and the last to Mr William Kirk Martin, Hillmount. It would appear that the fellow who stole them had galloped them the whole way to the Waterside ? neither of them being saddled; and, having rested them there for a short time, he put them on board one of the steamers of this port, which was on the eve of her departure for Liverpool. Mr Martin traced the thief to Derry; and having taken a passage in the first steamer to Liverpool, he there discovered two of the stolen horses in the livery stables of a Mr Lucas, who had purchased them from a person who represented himself to be their owner, and who had gone off with the remaining horse to a fair in the country. Mr Martin got the two horses delivered up to him; and Mr Lucas, we understand, set out in pursuit of the thief. The Northern Whig, 1st Feb 1842, a "Mr. Richard Hill, Hillmount" is mentioned in a report on a ploughing match of the "County of the Town of Carrickfergus and Kilroot Agricultural Society". By the time of the c1860 Valuation Book, Hillmount House in Drains Bay is still shown as belonging to the representatives of George Hill. This continues all the way through till 1928/9 ? 100 years after George Hill's death!? The tenants for most of that time by the way were McNeils ? presumably descendants of George Hill mentioned in the first post (one of George Hill's daughters married a McNeil). p.s. This house was for sale recently and can be viewed online if you fancy a nosy. Apparently built in the early 19th century, which fits with George Hill's 1822 ad. http://c1415082.r82.cf3.rackcdn.com/ECSECS35056/ECSECS35056-1.pdf Re: Hill family of Larne, Hillmount and Ballymena Census information Crown Copyright, from www.nationalarchives.gov.uk This probably has appeared on this forum before, but I will put it here as well as it seems that there is more interest now on the Hill family of Hillmount and the Matin family.

Can I be really annoying and ask what the sources are for some of this ? particularly anything that might prove George and Mary Hill were cousins? And that John of Hillmount was the son of the Rev John Hill? What's your opinion on the lifespan of John Hill of Hillmount? There's a burial of a John Hill in 1784 aged 64 at Portglenone Church of Ireland ? do you think that's him? Sure, no problem. A lot of that information came from the following book: On the Shining Bann: records of an Ulster Manor by R. M. Sibbett. Like yourself, I have been looking at this family mostly from a particular angle. In my case, a lot of my time has been spent researching the Macaulay family of Cushendall. One of the weaknesses with my research has concerned the Martin family. Quite a few years back I approached the FitzGibbon family hoping that they could help. Unfortunately, most of the information they had concerend only their male line and paid little attention to the distaff side of their family. As such, I wish to thank you for refiring my interest in Maria Martin, wife of Alexander Macaulay. We need confirmation that: 1) Margaret died early, probably following a childbirth. 2) She had a son William HILL b. ~ 1844 (in Whiteabbey?). Such an individual is recorded in the 1851 census of St. Peter Port on Guernsey, aged 7, staying c/o his "aunt" Margaret DIGMAN (nee WILLIAMSON), along with his uncle William WHITTLEY. [Assuming he is who we think he is, then she was actually his great aunt.] Aged 7 seemed a tad young for such an adventure, but then if he had lost his mother ... [Also, Margaret DIGMAN desperately needed help running her spirit-grocer's shop / boarding house. She had lost all her family during the cholera outbreak in 1832.] 3) This WH was identical with the William John HILL who married Ellenor Jane Warden STEVENSON on 02-MAR-1864 at Newtownards. [Fathers George HILL and Henry STEVENSON.] Ensuing family was (at least): William Digman HILL b. 23-DEC-1864 at Donaghadee Mary Stevenson HILL b. 05-JUN-1866 at Donaghadee Margaret HILL b. 18-FEB-1868 at Donaghadee. Lizzie Beatrice HILL b. 30-APR-1871 at Antrim George Frederick HILL b. 29-MAR-1873 at Belfast 3 Frederick HILL b. 18-MAR-1879 at Belfast To date we only knew of the first one. He had been named Henry Stevenson HILL at birth, but had his name changed when baptised. Your post inspired me to return to FamilySearch.org tonight, finding the others. Thanks! William WHITTLEY had brought what remained of his family (after further sad losses) back to Belfast in 1862. Presumably, his nephew William HILL (aged 17/18) returned with him.

M. Sibbett (1928). Here's the extract about the Hill family: The Rev. John Hill, Presbyterian minister, was the first of his name to reside in the manor of Cashel. His son, John Hill, linen merchant, founded the Hillmount Bleachworks at Cullybackey, now among the largest and best-equipped of their kind in the world. Elizabeth, eldest daughter of John Hill, of Hillmount, married William Adams, of Portglenone, in 1789. The two youngest members of the large family by this union ? a son and a daughter ? went to Australia. There the former, Robert, became a successful sheep farmer, and the latter wed another colonist following the same occupation. Harry Adams the last-born son of Robert Adams, acquired considerable fame as a skilful surgeon. He died later near Wellington, New Zealand. Captain Adams, the only son of Harry Adams, was killed in the Great War. His sister, Lady Glenny Wilson, well known in the literary worlds, resides in New Zealand. George Hill Adams, M.D., Edinburgh, was another son of William Adams. Practising for some years in Australia, he returned to London, and died at Notting Hill, unmarried. Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of the worthy couple indicated, married the Rev. W. C. Wray, of Buckna, County Antrim. One of the sons born of this union, Dr. Charles Wray, was appointed health officer of Brisbane. He died there in 1902, of Bubonic plague, caught in the discharge of his duty. Ann Adams, the second daughter of William Adams, wed the Rev. Clarke Huston, D.D., Macosquin. William, his fourth son, espoused Sarah Adair, daughter of Henry Newton Raphael of Galgorm. Their son, George Hill Adams, was identified for some time with the York Street Flax Spinning Company, Ltd., Belfast. Eventually he went to Australia, and still resides there, at Melbourne. Three of his sons served in the Great War - Captain George Hill Adams, M.C., Australian Artillery; Commander Bryan Fullerton Adams, R.N., D.S.O ; and Wm, Ronald Adams, Australian Field Ambulance. The last named is now a barrister in Melboune, holding a Government appointment. His brother Bryan, by heroism, covered himself with glory. The Naval Gazette, published some time after the Zeebrudde raid stated: "Lieut.-Commander Bryan F Adams led the naval storming party in the most gallant manner. He was the first to land on the Mole. Followed by his men, he bombed the German lookout, making it useless to them, etc., etc." Specially promoted Commander for his services, and given charge of his own ship, Bryan had conferred upon him the D.S.O. as an additional honour. He was lately appointed to the Queen Elizabeth, stationed at Malta, where Sir George Keyes, K.C.B., flies his flag. The eldest sister of George Hill Adams wed the Rev. S. Thomson, B.A. Another became the wife of James Gardiner, a Belfast merchant. Of this marriage there were two sons, James, who succeeded his father in business, and Campbell, a successful medical practitioner. A third sister was united in matrimony to the Rev. Clarke Huston Irwin, M.A., D.D., secretary of the Religious Tract Society. A fourth sister, E. R. Adams, resides in Belfast. William Adams, son of Thomas Adams, and grandson of William Adams and Elizabeth Hill, resided in Portglenone, and was an elder in Third Portglenone Presbyterian Church. His daughter, Annie Adams, who occupies the old mansion, maintains the high traditions of her family in the educational and musical spheres. The Rev. Dr. Park, one-time Moderator of the General Assembly, and many others, including solicitors, barristers, doctors, and men of business, could also claim descend from the Rev. John Hill. Other family associations may be traces through the Hills mentioned. John Hill, of Hillmount, married Anne Barry, of Carrickfergus. Anne Barry's mother was Anne Coleman, a daughter of Dr. John Coleman, of Carrickfergus. Elizabeth Coleman, sister of Mrs. Barry, wed first Dr. Dobbin, of Belfast, and secondly Henry Ellis, barrister-at-law, Innisrush. Mrs. Ellis was a grand-aunt to Elizabeth Hill, who married William Adams, Portglenone. After the death of Henry Ellis, Mrs. Ellis resided for a time in WIlliam Adams's house, where she died. Her letters, which are still preserved, show that she was quite a personality. The youngest child of John Hill married her cousin, George Hill, of Larne. One of her daughters became the wife of a member of the McNeill family in Larne, related to the Portglenone McNeills. A son and daughter born of this union wed a Portglenone sister and brother respectively. The Larne McNeills, connected with the Hills of Hillmount, followed the legal profession. A solicitor of their name consulted by the Grand Jurors of Cashel resided in a beautiful cottage at Glenone, the side of which is now occupied by James Heenan's residence. He was half-brother to Dr. McNeill, Portglenone.

| 757 | (Research):I am descended from Janet Lyle and John Miller's son David Miller. His daughter, Agnes, is my great-grandmother. I don't know anything about the Main family other than what you know. I visited Janet Lyle's place of birth last year. Ironmacannie Mill is exactly that, a grain mill with a miller's cottage at the side, in Balmaclellan Parish, Kirkudbright, Scotland. Her father was obviously the miller on the estate. I don't know where he came from, but I do know Janet's mother, Margaret Halliday, was a local girl. Many Scots migrated to the US, Canada, and Australia in the early 1800s due to the enclosure acts in Britain. Our relatives migrated to Dalhousie Township in Lanark County, Ontario where many Scots immigrated in 1821. John and Janet moved in 1836 to Lot 4, Concession 3, Sarnia Township, Lambton County, Ontario in 1836. John bought 50 acres from the local landowner Malcolm Cameron. He was the first to clear the land of the forest and later built a log house and stable on the plot. In 1855, they moved again when he bought 100 acres at Lot 4, Concession 4, Sarnia Township. Again, he had to clear the land of the virgin forest (but now he was 52 years old). John died of heart disease in 1884. I don't know where he was buried. I know where Janet is buried, though. She is buried in the Irwin Cemetery. It is a tiny, country cemetery near the corner of Confederation Road and Brigden Sideroad in Sarnia. Her headstone spells her name as Jenet.

| 795 | (Research):It is interesting that I cannot find birth records for any of this family although baptisms may exist. I have some thought that Mary Ann who was born 4 months after Isabella marriage to William may have been James' child as registered on her death certificate but was raised by Isabella. James seems to have preferred the military life and may have been involved in travel and training/management with them. It is interesting that Lucy's death certificate also lists James as her father. Could it be that James and Isabella had a relationship, Mary Ann was on her way, and William stepped in to marry Isabella because James was elsewhere? Could this be where the dual name James William started to appear in the records? What became of William? William mysteriously disappears, never to be found. James cannot marry Isabella because William's death is not known or recorded. The census taker in 1871 is confused and enters both names? Where a mother's name is recorded on most of the children's death certificates, some do not mention a father. I think the true story will never be known, lost in family/community lore, maybe whispered about but never formally acknowledged. | Warrington, John Ashby (I4394)

| 800 | (Research):James Boyle Ann McIntyre 1 Genealogy - Charles & Ted Diane Duncan Feb 19, 2018, 3:25 PM to Charles Hi, I've been working quite intensely, trying to finalize some info on the Queensland Boyle Miller connection over the past week. I'm really struggling with the Alfred James Boyle McIntyre situation. Did you ever find evidence that James and Ann married? Why can I not find any evidence of Ann's death other than a photo of her stone (where is it located?) Is there a story that has been buried??? Also do you know anything of Dursella Boyle, raised by Robert Hendry and Janet Miller family. The story I am hearing is that she was the child of one of the Boyle men, and it has been suggested Robert Hendry? I have her descendants but trying to untangle the family 'story'. Diane -- Charles McFadden Feb 19, 2018, 5:55 PM to me Hi Diane 1850 United States Census Name Ann McIntyre Age 11 Birth Year abt 1839 Birthplace Scotland Home in 1850 Elmira, Chemung, New York, USA Gender Female Family Number 715 Household Members Name Age Alexander McIntyre 35 Janette McIntyre 36 Margaret McIntyre 14 Ann McIntyre 11 Jane McIntyre 9 Isabel McIntyre 7 Elizabeth McIntyre 4 Ann McIntyre is buried at Hopetown with her parents Sandy McIntyre and Jane Yuill whose sister in law was Kitty McNab the illegitimate daughter of the 17th Laird of McNab ? McNab Township Renfrew County. Jane Yuill's brother died fighting in the War of the Rebellion in the United States and Kitty ( Catherine ) returned to Canada. Kitty's mother was the Laird's housekeeper Catherine Fisher. Ann McIntyre dies in 1858 at age 19 giving birth to Alfred James Boyle.. This is as you know well before mandatory government registration for births, deaths, marriages begins in 1869 and just because it became mandatory in 1869 does not mean that people complied ? in fact large numbers did not ? evidence what we have found in the Huron Tract in that regards for example. 1861 Census of Canada Name Alfred Boyle Gender Male Age 3 Birth Year 1858 Birthplace Canada West Home in 1861 Lanark, Lanark, Canada West Religion Church of Scotland Film Number C-1042-1043 Page number 12 Household Members Name Age Alfred Boyle 3 As you can see here is Alfred James Boyle son of Ann McIntyre and James Boyle in the family household with Sandy McIntyre and Jane Yuill and Ann McIntyre's younger siblings as Ann was the 2nd oldest. Alfred was raised with Ann's younger siblings. Here is Alfred again in 1871 same drill Name Alfred Mc Intyre Gender Male Age 12 Birth Year abt 1859 Birth Place Ontario Religion Church Of Scotland Origin Scottish Province Ontario District Lanark North District Number 80 Division 01 Subdistrict Lanark Subdistrict Number e Household Members Name Age Andrew Campbell 33 Martha Campbell 30 Archibald Campbell 10 Ann G Campbell 8 Marion Campbell 2 Alexander Mc Intyre 53 Jane Mc Intyre 53 William Mc Intyre 25 Alexander Mc Intyre 21 Isabella Mc Intyre 18 David Mc Intyre 16 Alfred Mc Intyre 12 John Mc Intyre 10 Here is Alfred James Boyle again in 1881 same drill Name Alfred McIntyre Gender Male Age 21 Birth Year 1860 Birthplace Ontario Religion Canada Presbyterian Church Nationality Scotch Occupation Labourer Province Ontario District Number 112 District Lanark North Sub-District Number D Subdistrict Lanark Division 1 Household Members Name Age Alex McIntyre 56 William McIntyre 32 Bella McIntyre 28 Alfred McIntyre 21 John McIntyre 20 Jane McIntyre 54 Ann McIntyre died in childbirth at age 19 giving birth to Alfred. Her parents Sandy and Jane decided to raise Alfred and James Boyle got a shot at a new life in such tragic circumstances and he went to Colony of Australia and eventually in time had another family with Margaret Sophia Wilson. I'm sure James and Ann would have married but I have not looked for a marriage record which would have to be in a parish register as I never felt a need to given my Lawson knowledge of the events. Though tragic it is actually a not right term but kind of nice story/solution as Alfred was raised with his grandparents in a loving environment and as a sibling to his Uncles and Aunts and James Boyle got shot at a new life as things would have been tough for him. Many of James Boyle's siblings got married in the Congregational Church in Middleville which is today an artist studio and it is across the road from my 3 great Uncle Sandy's place and beside Affleck and McLachlan House. Place to look if you want to try to find a marriage record may be in the congregational registers if they could be found ? I have never run across them and Robert Somerville son of John Somerville Senior and Margaret Gray was a prime mover in the Middleville congregational church. Some of the records for the Middleville congregational church are misfiled/lost and are actually at McMaster from what Robert Urquharts 4 great granddaughter mentioned to me. Name Alfred Boyle Macintyre Gender Male Marriage Date 15 Oct 1890 Marriage Place Louise, Manitoba, Canada Spouse Marion Gemmel Lawson URL http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php Household Members Name Age Alfred Boyle Macintyre Marion Gemmel Lawson Marion's father was a first cousin of my 2 great grandmother. 1921 Census of Canada Name: Alfred McIntyre Gender: Male Marital Status: Widowed Age: 64 Birth Year: abt 1857 Birth Place: Scotland Relation to Head of House: Head Father Birth Place: Scotland Mother Birth Place: Scotland Year of Immigration: 1920 Racial or Tribal Origin: Scotch (Scotish) Province or Territory: Saskatchewan District: Maple Creek District Number: 220 Sub-District Number: 55 City, Town or Village: Pitville Section Number: 6 Township Number: 17 Range Number: 19 Meridian Number: W3 Municipality: Pitville Occupation: Farmer Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Alfred McIntyre 64 Howard McIntyre 21 Geo Davis 30 Evan Elmer Davis 20 Alfred is actually not widowed. Marion left him, they split up and she married someone else and later died in 1967. This may help Sandy's farm was on the 2nd Concession of Lanark Township and Hopetown was their nearest village. They raised a large family of 4 sons and 3 daughters, besides raising Alfred Boyle, their grandchild, when his mother Ann died in childbirth. Sandy's wife was Jane Yuill, a daughter of the original William Yuill and Jennie Mitchell of White Lake. After his wife died it is believed he made his home at his son William's farm on the Lanark road near Middleville. The road to the farmstead wound through a Maple bush which provided maple syrup and maple sugar in springtime. At the rear of the farm was Baxters Lake where fish could be caught when needed. It was my pleasure to know the families of William, David and Alexander. It should be noted that 3 sons volunteered in the first war, one was killed and another incapacitated for life. The McIntyre Story 1837-1975 written by H.S. McIntyre born 1888. Source: The McIntrye Story 1837 - 1975 written by H.S. McIntyre (1888 - ) As regards to Drusilla Boyle in Ausralia First one I have is Caroline Drusillia Boyle 11 Sept 1879 Queensland died Boonah Queensland 15 Mar 1973 maried William Jackson 1876 ? 1947. She is daughter of Mungo Alexander Boyle amd granddaughter of Janet Jessie Miller. One you are after is Drusilla Boyle 18 Oct 1866 Lanark Township died 1950 Ipwich Queensland married James Daniel Smith 1860 ? 1928. Drusillia's mother is Elizabeth McManagle and she is the sister of Margaret McManagle who is Mrs. John Hendry Boyle son of Janet Jessie Miller. John Hendry Boyle married Margaret McManagle in 1864 at the Congregational Church in Middleville ? the artists studio. Name Margaret McManagh Age 22 Birth Year abt 1842 Birth Place Kitley Residence Lanark Township Marriage Date 13 May 1864 Marriage Place Lanark, Ontario, Canada Father Anthony McManagh Mother Elizabeth James Spouse John Henry Boyle Robert Hendry Boyle marries Elizabeth Skiffington at the Congregational Church in Middleville 26 Sept 1865 so the artists studio Name Robert Henry Boyle Age 28 Birth Year abt 1837 Birth Place Lanark, Ontario Residence Lanark Township Marriage Date 26 Sep 1865 Marriage Place Lanark, Ontario, Canada Father Robert Henry Booyle Mother Janet Miller Spouse Elizabeth Skiffington Household Members Name Age Robert Henry Boyle Janet Miller Robert Henry Booyle Elizabeth Skiffington Margaret Jones Terrance Skiffington SO Robert Hendry Boyle was boinking his sister in law's sister Elizabeth McManagle in January 1866 so 4 months after he married Elizabeth Skiffington who was knocked up. Robert Hendry Boyle and Elizabeth Skiffington's first child is born in 1865 in Lanark Township ???. SO He had Elizabeth Skiffington pregnant well before they got married and she would have been pregnant when he was cavorting with Elizabeth McManagle. Elizabeth and Margaret McManagles mother was Elizabeth James daughter of the Lanark Society Settler Robert James Brig Commerce 1820. Elizabeth and Margaret McManagle were granddaughters of John McManagle the Society Settler who came out on the Brock in 1820 with James Blair, James Baird John Lawson Robert Urquhart et als Probably not what you want to hear and is no doubt why you are having difficulty with it as well Robert Hendry Boyle has the 2 babes on the go at the same time so to say. If Don can stop laughing let me know if that helps or not ? I've been working on my Iron Founders of York on my father side.
