Sworn before me this 10th day of February 1835 Walter GLASSCOCK Assistant Registrar. A true copy.



[1] Thomas BRADFORD (1800-1872) son of Samuel BRADFORD & Margaret HENRY. It is interesting that already by age 35, he was at Carnbeg (He was likely born at Cavananore).

[2] Margaret WALLACE (1811-1885) of Roachdale, daughter of John WALLACE & Jane DONALDSON of Cloghog, Co. Armagh. At the time of her marriage to Thomas BRADFORD, she was likely living with her sister, Mary Anne WALLACE, wife of Robert DICKIE of Roachdale as both of her parents were deceased.

[3] Robert DICKIE of Roachdale This is likely the Robert DICKIE(1782-1840) who was the brother-in-law of Thomas BRADFORD & Margaret WALLACE.

[4] John BRADFORD of Cavananore. This is likely the John BRADFORD, uncle of Thomas BRADFORD. He was still alive in 1837 as he ordered a copy of Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of Ireland.

[5] Cavananore, 219 acres in Co. Louth, Upper Dundalk. In 1768, there were agreements on August 4th between John Coulter, farmer of Cavananore, and Andrew Coulter of Cavananore, re lands in Maghban, Dungooley and Anaghavackey held in joint lease; witnessed by Nathaniel Coulter & Thomas Bradford. According to Amy Oliver (Jackson) Lloyd: Cavananore (Round Hill of Gold) was granted to the Coulters after the Battle of the Boyne - from there to twin Bradfords, and then to Sir Thomas JacksonSEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/maps/Cavananore.htm

[6] Shortstone. There are two townlands: Shortstone East & Shortstone West, both in the Parish of Roche.  I would expect that Shortstone West is the townland in question. In the 1854 Grifffiths Valuation, pretty much the whole townland is owned in fee by a Robert BAYLEY. The only part that is not is a house and small garden held in fee by Mary COULTER, who would have been the widow of Samuel COULTER who was murdered in 1851. He maiden name was BAILIE and I suspect that she was a sister of this Robert BAYLEY.

[7] Robert BAILLIE Esq. I am guessing that he is the Robert BAILEY (1808-1895) who married Dora (last name not known).

·         SOURCE: http://www.faughart.com/inscriptions-page5466.html  In memory of Robert Bailie ESQre Shortstone Died April 26th April 1895 Aged 87 years. Deeply and deservedly regretted. Erected by his sorrowing daughters. Also Dora Bailie his loved wife died April 16th 1906. Peace perfect Peace.

·         PRONI Will abstracts:  Probate of the Will of Robert Bailie late of Shortstone County Louth Esquire who died 26 April 1895 granted at Armagh to Robert Ellis Bailie of Castleblayney County Monaghan Solicitor.

[8] Samuel BRADFORD This is likely the Samuel BRADFORD (1803-1881), son of Samuel BRADFORD & Margaret HENRY.

[9] Andrew Coulter BRADFORD Esq. (1788-1847) of Cavananore was the brother of Elizabeth BRADFORD and brother-in-law of Benjamin OLIVER (1765-1831) of Ennislare & Killynure, Co. Armagh . He would also have been an older cousin of the aforementioned Thomas BRADFORD. He died unmarried.

[10] Hugh McCULLAGH. I do not yet know how he ties into our known McCULLAGHs, but I suspect that in time, he will.

[11] Owen DUFFY

[12] Robert COULTER of Dundalk. He is likely the Robert COULTER (1801-1861), son of Samuel COULTER & Anne DICKIE. Mr. Joseph A. Coulter, JP, of Dowdallshill and Roden Place (the second son of Mr. Robert Coulter solicitor and first Secretary of the Lighting Paving and Improvement Committee, 1832), spent the early part of his life abroad, in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company and elsewhere, and at one time acting or Deputy Governor of Vancouver Island. He was with the escort who late accompanied Lady Franklin on her last expedition in search of her husband, Sir John Franklin, the Arctic explorer. his family has been connected with this county for seven or eight generations. For many years at up to the time of his death in 1901, he was the able Secretary of the Dundalk Gas Company.  He married the daughter of Mr. John McDowell of Mullaharlin.  His eldest son, Mr. Arthur S. Coulter, B.A., Solicitor has inherited his father's practical commonsense and integrity. SOURCE: Tempest Annual Centenary 1859-1959
