James Neill 24 of Lambeg and Margaret MacArtney 20 of Drumberg married in Lambeg PC Church of Ireland on 20 Aug 1859. They had a daughter Sarah circa 1963 and appeared to migrate to Australia leaving Plymouth on the Atalanta in Apr 1867 arriving Melbourne Jul 1867. I am interested in information of the birth or baptism of Sarah and the movements of the family.
Hi Daryl
There is a marriage record of James Neill and Margaret MacArtney in 1859 on www.rootsireland.ie/ but it is in county Down. You have to purchase credit to view the recpord to get the parish and it MAY have parents' names also.
There are 4 birth/baptism records of Sara O'NEILL with father James and mother Margaret (not MacArtney though) in Armagh 1859 Derry 1863 & 1865 & Tyrone 1865
There is a public member tree on ancestry.com - Pollard - which has Margaret's parents as Thomas MacArtney & Mary Burrell & her birth year as 1839 but it no source is given and I could not find it on rootsireland.
