Temple of Garrison Hill
I have Catherine Temple who married Samuel Bates in my family tree. I'd appreciate any information about the Temple family and, if possible, Samuel Bates.

Marriage of what looks to be a daughter of Samuel Bates in 1860. The dash by his occupation then suggests he had died before 1860.
Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church (after which she’d attend her husband’s). This marriage was in Stranorlar 1st Presbyterian (Donaghmore) so that may be the Bates family church.
Another daughter marrying in same church. Samuel’s occupation given as farmer.
More childrens marriages:
This might be one too (townland isn’t Garrisonhill but father’s name and occupation fit):

Above household includes widowed Catherine Bates and 2 children.

Above household headed by James appears to be Samuel & Catherine’s son, as far as I cna determine.
Griffiths Valuation for 1857 shows Samuel Bates on plot 1 in Garrisonhill. (It was a 42 acre farm). So that suggests he died between 1857 and 1860.

Kia Ora,
Thank you Margot and Paricia for your reply to my query.
All the data you provided fits into the Bates genealogy very nicely. The Marriage of John Bates to Margaret Roulston is part of the families' stories as John had wanted to marry Jane, Margaret's younger sister, but was told he had to marry Margaret. My family is descended from that marriage. On Margaret's death John travelled to the States, where Jane had emmigrated to, found her, married her and returned to Ireland only to die there a year after being reunited with Jane.
My mother's family emigrated to NZ in 1927 and settled in Whanganui as farmers.
nga mihi,
Alan
