The Silver Bowl: History

FAMILY STORIES WITHIN HISTORICAL CONTEXT

*Name of Document*	*Last revised*

BIRCH of Birchgrove This page shows the ways that the BIRCH family links in to the JACKSON family. It is a pretty boring page, unless you are really dedicated.	October 10, 2004
Bradford family of Co. Louth The BRADFORDs of Co. Louth that connect to the family tree of Sir Thomas JACKSON reach back to the early 1700s. At this stage, I have more questions than answers.	September 30, 2008
BROWNE Family Crests and Clues to our Origins	August 4, 2004
BROWNE - Ancestry of Thompson BROWN (1837-1915) Working backwards from the pretty well known to the less thoroughly known and then back in time to utter darkness, here goes. I have a suspicion that my great-grandfather Thompson BROWN[E] (1837-1915) may be related to Daniel Gunn BROWNE (1808-1892) who was an uncle by marriage of Thompson BROWN’s wife, Elizabeth JACKSON. By following the trail back, I hope to either prove or disprove this notion. All help will be appreciated.	August 26, 2008
JACKSONS arrive in Ireland: In the Beginning This is the story (or stories) told that link us back to either a JACKSON who served with Cromwell, or to a JACKSON who served under Elizabeth I. Both or neither may be true. The existing documentation is tantalizing on both scores.	October 10, 2004
MENARY - Families in Northern Ireland in 1800s & 1900sPage in process This page includes links to information on the MENARY families of Northern Ireland other than that which is merely connected to the JACKSON, OLIVER or CALVERT families.	July 20, 2005
OLIVER Family - Early Detective Work This page is focussed on the OLIVER families from Ulster. The following page picks up where it leaves off.	January 22, 2007
OLIVER-DOBBIN Family Connections in Co. Armagh AKA Ancestors of ELiza OLIVER - my great-great-grandmother I have posted this page - as a rough draft - in the hopes that others may know of other bits of the puzzle and can set me right. I will update the page from time to time - so watch for the update notice in red font. I'm looking forward to learning more. I have noted in red where the information on this page has since proven suspect. In the three years since I wrote it, I have learned a lot and will undertake a major rewrite. There is still much more to learn.	December 5, 2004 Sept 26, 2007

I will be getting to them soon.	July 17, 2007

OLIVERs of Ballyrea & Laragh This document is 21 pages long, includes 184 footnotes and so the names and places referenced are too numerous to list. CAUTION. It may be slow to load - particularly with dial up access. The 18 deeds included can be viewed separately on the wills and deeds pages. In time, I will be reworking all the various OLIVER pages on this part of my site. Until then, I beg your patience.	November 11, 2007
OLIVERs of Brootally, Co. Armagh Three of the four deeds referenced in this piece had already been posted, although footnotes have been updated. There is no doubt that these OLIVERs are related directly to the OLIVERs of Ennislare and Killynure and hence in all liklihood to the OLIVERs of Mullinture. WHen I am able to complete my deeds work (early 2008, I hope), then I will revisit this and similar pages and do a rewrite to include updates on all the various interconnections. Until then, please regard this as a page in progress.	December 7, 2007
Olivers of Lislooney, Co. Armagh The names of these OLIVERs link up to the OLIVERs of Killynure and hence to Ennislare and likely also to Farmacaffley, Co. Armagh. In a couple of months, I expect to have made enough progress to be able to show the actual links.	December 12, 2007
