FAMILY TREES
Like the visible part of an iceburg, the family trees included beneath represent a small part of the raw material that myself and others currently have. If you know what names you are seeking information on, it is often quite helpful to use the Google site specific search engine. Individual names may appear in many trees and in many other sources such as letters, wills and maps. Good luck and let me know if you find a connection and would like to share more information.
I have also posted a tree (with information on names and dates of living family members not included) at: Rootsweb: silverbowl It will be updated from time to time.

Detailed Descendant Trees These
trees include a great deal of family detail beyond the usual birth, death
& marriage. They are extensively footnotes with sources for most data
given..WARNING. If
you have a slow modem, some of these files will take some time to download
as they have more than 200 footnotes. |

Outline Descendant Trees
NOTE: These types of family trees are basic tree showing only name,
birth, married & death.They should download quite quickly. I have
noted them in red. |

| Bartley, George descendants Mid 1700s - This tree makes sense of many of the complex family connections between the Bartley, Reed, McKean and other families. The formatting needs work, but it is still readable. WARNING: Long file. | November 5, 2003 |
| George BARTLEY & Margaret ORR descendants. This is an update of the previous file - an amazing piece of work undertaken by Wendy Jack with more than 600 footnoted entries. It is divided into four sections since as a single file it is too large for my computer and software to handle with any effiiciency. Even as it is, some of the files are quite large. In time, I will find a more elegant solution to this problem. In the meantime, I wanted to share the stories.The BARTLEY family included many military men, doctors and clergy. Their commitments and fortunes took them all over the world and their stories reveal a family-sized echo of what was happening on a larger scale with the great outwash of the British Empire. | September 5, 2005 |
| Bartley generations 1-4 In this first section, there is considerable detail on Walter Tyler BARTLEY (see #47) who was killed in action in 1846 at the Battle of Sobraon in India. Also there is fascinating detail on Rev. John COULTER (see #31) who was influential in the movement to merge the two secessionist synods of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and was also active in the Tenant League movement. | |
| Bartley generation 5
John Hamilton GRAY as premier of PEI hosted the Charlottetown
Conference in 1863 which laid the ground work for Canada's Conferation some
four years later. Regrettably for GRAY, the people of PEI rejected union
at that time and he resigned. Had he stayed in office for another four years,
one of life's ironies is that the Fathers of Confederation would have included
two John Hamilton GRAYs - the second was premier of NB. Acheson George Henry GILMORE, Samuel GILMORE and David JACKSON are all related to Sir Thomas JACKSON are part of the larger HSBC story. (The last I know of this Samuel GIMORE is that he was a Japanese prisoner of war in a Hong Kong hotel) |
|
| Bartley generation 6
It is in this generation that we witness the personal costs of the Boer
War and WWI. Roland Ernest LORD was invalided out of Boer War in 1900, only to
go back. Three brothers lost their lives: George Barlow BARTLEY DENNISS
in the defence of Wagon Hill in the Boer War; Henry Barlow BARTLEY DENNISS died in 1913; Thomas Vivian BARTLEY DENNISS died of wounds in 1918. John Franklyn PETERS was killed at Ypres where he is remembered
in a memorial on the same tablet as his brother, Gerald Hamilton PETERS, who went missing, presumed dead. The
saddest story in my mind is that of Eric Skeffington POOLE who "had the unenviable distinction of being the first British Army officer
executed during World War I." The full story is beneath. David Clements BATES also died in WWI. Later, during WWII, Thomas Jackson HOUSTON died of dysentry as a prisoner of war in Hong Kong We also see more connections with the Far East and banking in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Robert Thomas WRIGHT and David JACKSON, both managers at HSBC, Yokohama; John Stevenson Reed WRIGHT with the Imperial Bank of Persia, James Francis WRIGHT in Hong Kong with a brokerage. |

| Bartley generation 7 A couple more HSBC connections are detailed here: Robert Thomas WRIGHT, Thompson BROWN{E). | |
Birch Family - Five Generations Early 1700s - This document is some 20 pages long with 420 footnotes and gives a detailed family tree for the descendants of James BIRCH and Mary JACKSON from the early 1700s until the middle of the 20th Century. No living persons are included. It was prepared by Wendy Jack of Australia. |

| BREAKEY Outline family treeThe tree beneath has all the sources and details, but this is faster to download if all you want is a snapshot. | December 4, 2005 |
BREAKEY This tree is likely filled with errors - particularly in the early years. Please consult it with that in mind. There is better and more complete information to be found at a web site called The Breakey Collection. In time, I shall put it all to rights. |

| BROWNE This family tree contains 5 generations starting in 1693 and is the one that most reliably connects ancestors to my grandmother, June Edgar BROWNE. The connections to the BROWNE family tree from Sligo (see beneath) are alleged, but the links still need to be both found and proven. | August 4, 2004 January 27, 2009 |
| BROWNE family connections from Cowdray, Sligo & Janeville This is only an outline tree, but even at that it runs to nine pages or more. It contains the most up-to-date names and dates for the BROWNE family of Janeville, Co. Down, The Sligo BROWNEs of Westport, Co. Mayo and the Montague BROWNEs going back to the early 1400s. Not all my sources are necessarily reliable, but I have cross-referenced to the best of my ability and will fix any errors as soon as I know of them (help is always appreciated). The two related detailed trees are beneath. | August 11, 2008 |
| Browne, Robert (mid-late 1300s) Descendants A family story from about a 100 years ago says that our BROWNE family is connected by ancestry to the BROWNEs of Sligo. In turn, the family history of the BROWNEs of Sligo (the Westport House BROWNEs) alleges that they connect back to the Montague BROWNEs of Cowdray. My conundrum is the issue of John BROWNE (d. 1588) who is the 11th entry in the 5th (and last) generation of this tree. (NOTE: I will pick up his descendants in a tree focusing on the BROWNEs of Sligo.) How John BROWNE fits into the MONTAGUE line is uncertain. Although I have him (for the moment) as a child of Anthony BROWNE, it is also possible that he was a child of Sir George BROWNE, the older brother of Anthony. | August 20, 2008 |
| Browne, John (died 1588) Descendants This is a draft tree and likely contains several errors needing the benefit of input from many careful readers (and I will make changes when notified). It is also huge - running to close to 30 pages. It incorporates the BROWNEs of Westport, Co. Mayo as well as the BROWNEs of Janeville, Co. Down. This detailed tree would not be anywhere near as complete were it not for the contributions of many kind souls. Deirdre McEvoy, Wendy Jack and William Stranney deserve special mention. | August 20, 2008 |
| Coulter: Descendants of Alexander COULTER This COULTER family tree is the one connected with the famed botanist, Thomas COULTER of Carnbeg. I suspect that the people in this tree are linked to the COULTERs of Cavananore, but since we are still missing some of the connecting bits of data - I can't prove this yet. | November 27, 2008 |
| Coulter -Family tree connected to Sir Thomas Jackson This COULTER family tree is directly connected into my known family. It is possible that the “UNNAMED COULTER at the start of this tree is a son of the Joseph COULTER highlighted in tree preceding this one. If there are other descendants of this Joseph COULTER, it could also lead us to knowing where various other stray COULTERs and COULTER trees belong. | December 8, 2008 |
| Coulters of Silverbridge This short tree likely shares ancestors with one or both of the first two trees. Why this family left Ireland for England in the first place, is not known. According to family lore, they returned during WWI in order to protect a son from having to serve in the military. | December 8, 2008 |
| Coulters of Skyhill This very short stub of a tree will likely tie into one of the first two COULTER trees. Updated. | December 8, 2008 August 23, 2009 September 22, 2009 |
| Dickie, Samuel James descendants This tree is based in large measure on a 1900s pedigree. It is lengthy and generally trustworthy (I believe), but has little in the way of back-up documentation and dates.WARNING: It may take some time to load. | September 27, 2004 |
| Dill, David Descendants 1640- NOTE: This is not really a very successful format, but it does contain information up to the generation of Robert MOORHEAD and the MOORE family. | June 26, 2003 |
| Dill, John Descendants
Eight generations in an outline descendant
tree format. NOTE: There is no named wife for John Dill who was born 1620. |
July 14, 2003 |
| Donaldson, John descendantsThis is a tree that incorporates the DONALDSON line starting with John DONALDSON who died in 1715 and includes also Randall DONALDSON whose leases of land connect him to the DONALDSONs of Cloghoge. The tree also connects to the ECHLIN family and to the will of Louisa Jane KELLY. | June 10, 2008 |
| Eager-Edgar Eight generations This is the family tree that leads from the EAGERs of Scotland in the time of Charles I to the connection with the BROWNE family tree in the 1870s. I am indebted to Tony Browne, and before him Michael Browne for the work which produced this tree. There may still be errors, but we will get to these. | August 6, 2004 |
| Gilmore Family - Five Generations 1735 - This tree includes a few names of living persons. | December 5, 2003 |
| Gilmore, Alexander & Elizabeth Birch Five Generations in an outline descendant tree format. NOTE: Alexander Gilmore was born 1735. He married Elizabeth BIRCH March 14, 1760 (Her first husband was William BREAKEY who died sometime between 1758-1760) | July 14, 2003 |
| Griffin Family This tree starts in the mid-1800s. This family has close connections with the JACKSON family, although the exact link is yet to be discerned. | April 28, 2004 |
| Jackson Family - Five Generations Early 1700s - This document is 16 pages long and has 267 footnotes. It was prepared by Wendy Jack of Australia. No living persons are included. | August 15, 2003 |
| Jackson, George &
Margaret O'Laughlan, 1700s Five generations in an outline
descendant tree format. NOTE: This tree goes from the first JACKSON
we have record for in our family tree to the generation of Sir Thomas JACKSON.
Hyperlinks link back to biographies on the various family members for
whom they have been prepared. |
July 3, 2003 |
| JACKSONs in the Quaker line These JACKSONs started in Yorkshire and emigrated to Ireland, and then settled at Mountmellick and Dublin. Near the end of this tree, I have highlighted in red a Richard JACKSON whom I believe is worthy more attention with respect to other JACKSON lines (including mine). Also of interest, is the line of JACKSONs who were prominent in the printing trades in Dublin in the late 1700s.It would not surprise me if they turn out to be connected to the Lisbanoe JACKSONs. | October 31, 2009 |
| JACKSONs of Coleraine This branch of JACKSONs starts in Yorkshire and connects to significant players during the Siege of Derry amongst other events. It is also the family tree that leads to Richard JACKSON of Forkhill. I have much to learn about this line of JACKSONs and hope that kind readers will help me out. | December 7, 2009 |
| Johnston descendants of James Johnston & Elizabeth Leslie This family is already linked through the BIRCH connection, but there will likely be more connections as I pursue more of the usual elusive bits. Many thanks to Wendy Jack for the sourcing that produced this particular tree. I will never be as diligent as she and am grateful - always! | August 29, 2005 |
| Johnstons of Gilford and Gildhall This tree is of interest for two reasons. Gilford is the town where several early family members resided, principally the BIRCH family. Also, the mention of HAWKINS is a hook, given the fact of Villiers Alweyn Caesar HAWKINS who was claimed to be a cousin of Sir Thomas JACKSON. | February 21, 2006 |
| McKean, James This is a page in progress. I will add links to Bartley and such. | September 24, 2004 |
| Martin, Allan of Ringfad This tree starts in 1773 and has many links with biographies that I have already complied. It is a first draft | May 5, 2004 |
| Menary, Alexander descendants Early 1800s. The link to the MENARY family is that Mary Jackson - the sister of Sir Thomas Jackson married Alexander Menary | November 7, 2003 Rev. Aug 2, 2005 |
| Orr, Samuel John Corbett This tree was contributed thanks to Robyn M Condliffe | May 5, 2004 |
| Tollemache, Lionel This tree contains the three generations of Tollemaches who precede John Tollemache beneath. I don't have dates here, but I figure early 1600s. | August 11, 2004 |
| Tollemache, John 1710-1777. He is a great-great grandparent of Amelia Lydia DARE, wife of Sir Thomas JACKSON. | August 6, 2004 |
| Wright, John family descendants
1587 - Again, the formatting is less than glorious, but still useable. Currently living people are included as well as photos of Gola & Carrachor. |
