Thanks to Len once again for the McConnell information. I am wondering if anyone on the List has an interest in the McConnells from Tattynure, Tyrone. I think I do but it is all quite confusing. Margaret in Oz.

Many thanks for your thanks Margaret; they are much appreciated. All good fortune with your McConnell research.

Hello Len Just to let you know that there must be 2 "Margarets in Oz" ☺ . Think your "thank you email" was meant for the other Margaret in Oz. Love all the emails and info they contain though as I am still not sure I have the correct line of the many "Hugh Bloomers" from Co Tyrone. Thank you from this Margaret in Oz.

Hi Margaret, I’ve been looking for the parents of your James Wilson b 1843. Did you get that year from his headstone, or is there other information that supports it? I would go with his parents being Matthew Wilson and surname McConnell, because it is from his marriage info and would have come from himself, not others who often get it wrong in the death information. Or maybe his mother was a McConnell at the time of his marriage, and his dad died, and his mom remarried? Who knows? I did find one marriage in Tyrone that’s a possibility. Matthew Wilson married Eliza Jane Mcconnell on 23 Dec 1845 in Cappagh. It’s not Mary, and Cappagh is 20 miles from Omagh, but I thought it might be worth consideration. I sympathize with you trying to find the right James Wilson in Tyrone. My GG Grandfather Patrick Wilson was supposed to be James, according to his death registration. But I can’t find Patrick’s birth (or marriage) info anywhere. Who would think it would be hard to find information on a *Patrick* Wilson who was Presbyterian? Ah well. Jeanne from the Great White North (of Canada, lol)

Hello Jeanne and Margaret   Just a quick comment about the marriage record you found on Matthew Wilson who is mentioned below.   There are at least two places named Cappagh in County Tyrone.  The parish church of Cappagh that is mentioned in the marriage record is about two miles outside Omagh, it's in a lovely setting near the Strule river.  Hope this helps.  Evelyn   ------ Original Message ------ From: cotyronelist@list.cotyroneireland.com To: cotyronelist@list.cotyroneireland.com Cc: jeanne.towle@gmail.com Sent: Monday, February 10th 2025, 21:52 Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: McConnell   Hi Margaret, I’ve been looking for the parents of your James Wilson b 1843.

Hello Jeanne and Margaret, I noted your recent posts in the excellent Co.Tyrone Digest. Margaret, will know my name because we are both researching disparate, Co.Tyrone WILSON, ancestors, who ended up migrating to the Gerringong region, of New South Wales, Australia in the 1850’s. Margaret and I have never been able to establish a connection between ‘our,' Wilson lines. I have used Family Tree DNA to confirm several WILSON descenant lines in the U.K, U.S.A, and Australia. ‘My’ DNA proven, WILSON'S were specifically from the Townlands of Cavandoragh, and Whitehouse. I have a letter, shared with me by a fellow genealogical researcher: Jerry L.Ross from Texas, USA. The letter is from my Great-Great Grandfather, Joseph Wilson, to 2 of his sons who had newly emigrated to the U.S.A in the early 1850’s. The letter is very newsy; in that it mentions several relationships, (some that I have not yet been able to pierce together). I have attached a full transcript of the letter, as shared with me by Jerry L.Ross; to the bottom of this email. I would draw your attention to the following excerpt: "Dear Mathew I will be expecting a letter from you soon or at least as soon as you can let Mr. Charles Stuart know that his Father is well and would be glad to get a letter from him as soon as possible he would wish to know how far you live from John McCays Whitehouse people are all well-Be please to let Mr. John McCay know that the gold Dollar that he sent his Mother came safe to hand be pleased to let Mrs. McCay know that Glenknock people are all well and Nancy has her brave young son I think it may be a month old now namely John Saml and Nancy and the Son was in Cavandoragh on Sunday last seeing her Mother-Indeed Robert Wilson Grigan is in a very sickly state at present I think he will not recover at this time Mary and the children are well David and his Mistress are well Thos McConnell and Isabella and Children are well David and Mrs. Wilson from Omagh was down a few days ago fishing for pikes at Derg River but caught none Thos Stewart was with them and James McCay but the had no success-Give my best Respects to Mr. John McCay Mrs. And Family his Father and Mother is in good health at present —" I note that Joseph Wilson’s from Cavandorragh’s, 1853 letter specifically mentions: “Thomas McConnell, Isabell and children are well, as well as David and Mrs. Wilson visiting from Omagh, fishing for pikes at Derg River, but not catching any. I have been unable to unravel where, Thomas McConnell, fits in, and exactly what my Wilson’s relationship was with, David and Mrs. Wilson from Omagh, perhaps you might be able to connect the dots? Maybe this information will mean something to you. I share in the hope that it does. Please know that the "Robert Wilson Grigan,” mentioned as being, "in a very sickly state at present, and unlikely to recover," did indeed die within the year. ‘ Grigan', is a nickname attached to Robert Wilson, to distinguish him specifically, as Joseph Wilson’s daughter, Mary Wilson’s husband. Robert Wilson ‘Grigan’ died in 1854. Mary Wilson his widow, (born Wilson), went on to marry James Porter and emigrated to Australia with the children from her 1843 marriage to Robert Wilson from Magheracrigan, (Joseph Wilson, B:1844. William Wilson. B:1846. Robert Wilson. B:1848. David Wilson. B:1850, and Eliza Wilson. B:1853). Mary and her children travelled under her new husband, James Porter’s surname. They arrived in Australia aboard the ‘Vocalist,’ in 1856. Joseph Wilson had a son, (and his daughter Mary had a brother), named Robert Wilson, so when Mary Wilson, married a Robert Wilson, from the Townland of Magriggian; to sort out the Robert’s, Joseph Wilson and my ancestors referred to Mary’s husband as, 'Robert Wilson Grigan', presumably short for Magriggian. As these names are all part of the same paragraph and train of thought when my G.G.Grandfather Joseph Wilson put pen to paper, in 1853, then perhaps there is a relationship between the Wilsons of Magriggian, and the Wilsons from Omagh and Thomas McConnell???? This is entirely speculation on my part, but it might provide you with other avenues to pursue in your searches.

From: JoAn Hewitt Bell, Hebron, Indiana 2002 This is a copy of the letter from her great-great-great grandfather (Joseph Wilson, Sr.) to her great-great grandfather (Joseph Wilson, Jr.) soon after the latter came to America. The original was in the possession of a relative that moved to Canada. JoAn’s Great Aunt, Alta Wilson had the letter long enough for JoAn to make a copy, which was of very poor quality, so she typed a version of the letter so it could be read. She didn't correct grammar or spelling. Cavandoragh 2nd August 1853 Dear Mathew and Joseph We were looking out with great anxiety for a letter two weeks before it came to hand on 26th July it came to our house which we were all over joyed to hear of you being all well we were afraid that something had taken place with Joseph on his passage that prevented him from writing but we find by the letter that he had a pleasant passage we considered here that the weather was altogether favourable the wind blew from the Nor.

Dear Jeanne, Yes, the headstone for my James Wilson states his date of birth as being 12 February, 1843. Interestingly his Death Certificate info provided by his son says he was from Oomah,Tyronne and his parents’ names were Matthew Wilson and Mary Newberry. James' Marriage Certificate (to Louisa Morrow) 1871 Broughton Creek, NSW, Aus, states his parents’ names as "Matthew Wilson and Mary (Maconnel)” I agree with you that at least the information provided on the Marriage Certificate is more likely to be correct rather than the Death Certificate. I have the marriage certificate of Matthew Wilson (bachelor) & Eliza Jane McConnell (Tattynure,Cappagh) 23 Dec 1845 at the Parish Church of Cappagh. His father Richard Wilson of Gortmessan (nr. Enniskillen). My dad’s cousin - grandson of James Wilson - has done a BigY DNA test and this has proven we are related to quite a large number of Wilsons from the Enniskillen area. Of the various Wilsons included in this DNA group there appears a few McConnells from Tattynure. Also the name Newberry/Newbury appears through the generations of these Wilsons also. James reputedly came to Aus in early 1860s, arriving in Queensland. I cannot find him on any ship of that time. Family lore has a brother Robert who went to US when James came to Aus. I wondered if the father Matthew was married to Mary McConnell, had two children Robert & James and then died. He could then have married her sister Eliza Jane. (stranger things have happened). If it hadn’t been for the DNA evidence I probably would have given up on his name being “Wilson”. re Patrick Wilson - it was only the other day I was looking through some long bdm list of protestant churches and noticed a couple of Patricks. I am not saying they were “Patrick Wilson”. Thank you for your interest Jeanne, Margaret in Oz. > On 11 Feb 2025, at 8:52 AM, Jeanne Towle via CoTyroneList <cotyronelist@list.cotyroneireland.com> wrote: > > Hi Margaret, > I’ve been looking for the parents of your James Wilson b 1843. > Did you get that year from his headstone, or is there other information that supports it? > I would go with his parents being Matthew Wilson and surname McConnell, because it is from his marriage info and would have come from himself, not others who often get it wrong in the death information.

Hi Janet & Jeanne, Oh, how confusing these Wilsons are. I have lots of DNA matches for my James Wilson (f. Matthew) but only 3 for my other James Wilson (f. Robert b. Mulnahorn Aghaloo) and those matches are named “Craig” not Wilson. Even in the townland of Mulnahorn there were a couple of Wilson families. Maybe I will have to be patient and wait for more DNA matches. It is interesting that among my James Wilson f. Matthew matches the name McConnell occurs in the USA, and now here it occurs with this other Wilson family in US. I will have to check if these are the same families. I will have to re-read these letters and try to make head or tail of them. Kind regards, Margaret in Oz.
