Isabella HUNTER (1783 - before 1841)

FermanaghDrumkeeran (Fermanagh)

Looking for birth information and parents names of my 3rd-great grandmother, Isabella HUNTER.  Family tradition says that she was born about 1783 in Drumskinney in Drumkeeran parish, Fermanagh, Ireland.  She married David WILKIE (place unknown).  I know of 3 children born to them:

1.  David Wilkie, Jr.  - 1 August 1819 in Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland

2.  Isabella Wilkie - born about 1820 in Ireland

3.  William Wilkie - born about 1826 in Ireland

Isabelle HUNTER WILKIE died some time before 1841.  I'm not sure if this was before or after the family migrated to Paisley High Church parish in Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland.  The family is found in the 1841 census of Scotland already living in Paisley.  Isabella's widow David went on to marry Mary Cowan and Ann Kerr.

Thank you!

Bob,

Thank you so much for your help!  The two children of David Wilkin from Magheraculmoney parish are the right names and ages - Isabella and William.  I also just found the Fermanagh GOLD site and found a birth in 1819 for David Wilkin Jr. in Tedd (townland), Derryvullan, also born to a David Wilkin and wife Isabella.  I'll still need to do some more research to verify this is MY David Wilkin family, but your information has provided me something to work on.

Many, many thanks!

Regards  ~  Leann Clark Carroll
