Find Ancestors

I have Jane McCullough (nee GUNNING) in the 1911 Ireland Census 25 Meenan St, Belfast. Says she was born in DOWN. From what I have been told she was born c1868. She married William John WEAMES & later ?McCullough.

Can anyone find a marriage for Jane to either Weames or McCullough in Ireland? There was talk of Ayr Scotland, but I have not been able to find anything.

She had a son William John Weames c1888, who died c1924, (from results of WW1) in Ayr Scotland. So far there is no more to be found on Jane in Ireland going back toward her birth.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sandra

He was married by this time so there is no link to his parents through his military papers. He was discharged as unfit due to tubercule of the lung which was stated as not being caused by active service.

The family were listed as living back at No 11 Meehan St. in 1912...
William J. was living/working in Glasgow...but gave his home address as 11 Meehan St.

Jane W Gunning married William McCullough 2nd April 1888 Christchurch Church of Ireland Belfast. Jane father a James ,William father's a John

Maura...Thats what came to light (2006) the Gunnings were living Cromac Ward but it seems to have all become a blurred around the edges since...

Sandra...Can you try and correlate the info. from your "old" threads....onto this one...Although you have Jane as being b Co Down...(which the Census states she was) the Jane Gunning 1870 Reg Portferry does not appear to be her...

I thought this name was familar, I did a lookup at Groni regarding a Gunning for Sandra a few years ago, but I don't think I found what she wanted.

Hi,
Thank you sooooo much to you all for your replies. I am away from home at the moment, that is why it has taken me a while to reply.

The Jane, born to ALEXANDER GUNNING & ISABELLA GRACEY, isn't the correct one. I did a check on her marriage years ago & the husband didn't connect with the stories from the families, & she only seemed to have 1 husband, whereas the Jane I have been looking for was married at least twice.

The other McCullough info seems to connect, especially the McCollough Jane Walace part, as the 'Wallace' appears on Alexander's marriage certificate as being his mother's maiden name (may have been another marriage),so I will try to search out some certificates for proof.

There are sooo many stories surrounding Alexander that I thought by maybe tracking down Jane, I could unravell Alexander's story, if that makes any sense at all.

Again I thank you for the information. Thank you to GR - I have been trying to unravell this family now for many years & kept hitting a brick wall. Maybe you have just provided the bull dozer!!

Cheers, Sandra

Sandra....I would suggest that the "Wallace" part of Janes name would not be a previous marriage...It was/is common practice for a second name " Surname" to be carried through the generations.....this applies especially in Scottish Ancestry.
The Jane W Gunning who married Wm McCullough would appear to be the correct one ..I suggest you need to get that MC ...(Maura has furnished details) .
You could also check out any Gunning's with the "Wallace" name included.

Thanks Eringobragh1916...... I realised that after I wrote it. I will send away for the certiicate to see what other info can be gleaned from it, & look for other Gunning's as well. Thanks again. Sandra

Sandra...Your more than welcome..Let 's know how you get on..

Can you tell me how I go about ordering a certificate online from Ireland. I have done it from England, but no Ireland before. I will send away for the marriage in 1888 of William McCullough & Jane W Gunning.

Can anyone find a marriage between an Adam Wallace & Ann Jane Burns c1864 in Belfast?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for that Astra. I will look into that one a bit further.

Hi Eringobragh1916 & Maura,
I sent away for the marriage certificate of Jane W. Gunning to William McCullough in 1888, but it has come back as Jane N. Gunning marriage to William. Maybe it is a transcription error as the certificate is typed, not copy of original. Mmmmm, will have to investigate further on that one. :-S
