Tyrone OLIVERs - Descendants of James OLIVER
NOTE: In this family tree, I am absolutely indebted to the research done by Harry Nicholson in his History of the OLIVER family, Lismullydown and Stragrane, Co. Tyrone. As well as the work of Maria Beattie.
In this version of this tree, no living members have been included. Wherever there is someone for whom I do not have a death records, and whose birth is after 1911, I have recorded them as Possibly living. They may not be. I expect that readers will update me if they know more. Also, I have only annotated the first and second generation, because I am unable to find the time to do all of it right now. Hopefully, I will be able to do it soon.

[1] James OLIVER. Both Lismullydown and Stragrane, Co. Tyrone were leased from the Caledon estate. Going back to 1st Nov. 1807, (D2433/A1/363, PRONI), when James OLIVER was referred to as James OLIVER, Jnr. In May, 1807, in the Caledon Estate Rental (D2433/A6/7, PRONI), there was still one old life recorded, a James OLIVER, on the lease of the farm held by Robert OLIVER.
[2] Joseph OLIVER. Since in 1860 the Caledon Estate rentals changed from Joseph OLIVER to Rep's. Joseph OLIVER, it is presumed he died before then. Baptisms of his children are recorded in Minterburn Presbyterian Church Registers,
[3] James OLIVER. He was a farmer, living in Lismullydown, son of James OLIVER, also a farmer. His wife's name was Jane Culton, daughter of William Culton, a farmer, from the neighbouring townland of Killinaul. By the date of Griffith's Valuation, (1860), James OLIVER farmed 28a 3r 10p in Lismullydown, held on lease from the Caledon Estate. For this farm, he paid a yearly rental of £25. 5. 0, of which £23. 15. 0 was for the land, and £1. 10. 0 for the house. Dates of death for him or his wife are not yet known, though his is presumed to have been about 1899, when this farm was transferred to his son, Andrew OLIVER.
[4] Andrew OLIVER. He is alleged to have been born abt 1800. Either this is incorrect, or else the birth date of his father is incorrect, otherweise, his father would have been aged 13 at the time of Andrew’s birth.
[5] Elizabeth OLIVER. AT the time of her marriage, one of the witnesses was James OLIVER. In 1901, at the date of the Census, Elizabeth Caddoo was living in Tullygiven townland, her age given as 77 years, with her sons James and Joseph, neither of whom was married.
