Notes for Benjamin Oliver: In the Peerage and Baronetage Book, the father of Eliza OLIVER is given as William. Both Gitta & Wendy Jack research give Ben. Further research has proved them to be correct & Drebbets to be wrong (not the first time). The William is one generation back. SOURCE: At the Ford of the Birches p. 263-264 "In 1766 Bryan Burns of Laragh demised to David Oliver of Ballyrea, C. Armagh, the corn mill called Lough Egish mill. Oliver was already in the linen trade in Co. Armagh. The corn mill seemingly was changed into a beetling mill. It would appear that the concern got into debt and was 'rescued' by D McTear who in the process received a lien on the property. When David Oliver died, there was some difficulty in settling the estate. In 1815, the Court of Chancery ordered that in consideration of outstanding debts being discharged, McTear should assign the bleaching mill and green, in their actual possession, to Oliver's sons Joseph, William and Benjamin. The bleaching operation was being worked on a reduced scale; part of the mill had been changed into a flax scutching mill and another into a corn mill. It only worked 4 months of the year in total." NOTES FROM BLIN: "Benjamin Oliver bought Killynure and married Elizabeth Bradford, daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Breakey. Bradford of C.nore (Cavananore)". The name "Oliver" is a Norman and Anglo-Norman name with roots in Ulster and Louth. Although this is as far back as I can go right now, I note that there is a record of a Hugh Oliver who married a Jane Parke and Jan 6, 1708 and an Elizabeth Oliver who married a Robert Henry in 1711, Nov 28. Also a Martha Oliver who married an Andrew Brown July 30 1719. (Source Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquities of Ireland, Vol 28, 1898.

Leitrim the Parish of Carrigallen.
	David Jackson and Elizabeth Oliver had the following children:
		i.	JOHN⁵ JACKSON^{161, 162} was born on 28 Nov 1839 in Derrivalley, Co. Monaghan^{163, 164}. He died on 21 Jul 1886 in Brackagh, Co. Tyrone^{165, 166, 167, 168}. He married Kate Maria Jane Whiting, daughter of Frederick Whiting and Margaret Speer on 26 Apr 1877 in Ardstraw Church of Ireland, Co. Tyrone¹⁶⁹. She was born on 24 Sep 1854 in Coleraine, Co. Derry, Ireland^{170, 171}. She died after 1901. Notes for John Jackson: There were children. One of them came to South Africa in 1900 (email Ian Jackson Feb 3, 2003) SOURCE: Landowners in Co. Armagh 1870 transcribed by Jean Rice: "John JACKSON, address Richhill, owned 7 acres". This may or may not be the same John JACKSON Mary Cumiskey has the First Newtonhamilton Presbyterian Church indicating that all of John's brothers and sisters were baptised by Daniel Gunn Brown and that the entry for John shows an address as "Carrigallen, Co. Leitrim". I had their birth place showing as "Derryvalley, Co. Monaghan" but am not sure where I got that from, but it is was clearly an error. (NOTE: Thomas McNeill has the same source). Letter from James McCullagh, Derryvalley, to Sarah McCullagh 28 April 1877 "I hope J. Jackson has got a mud wall to bring his bride to for I think they would fight like cats at Urker with so many she's in it." NOTE: It seems that brother James & Sarah (Browne) JACKSON also lived at Urker for some years after their marriage. NOTE: He died when his two known children were only 6 years old and he was aged 47.

He died on 21 Dec 1915 in Bank of Hong Kong, 9 Gracechurch Street, London¹⁷⁹. He married Amelia Lydia Dare, daughter of George Julius Dare and Sarah Shrieve Parke on 19 Sep 1871 in H.M.B. Legation, Yokohama, Japan^{180, 181, 182}. She was born on 02 Feb 1851 in Singapore^{183, 184}. She died on 10 Apr 1944 in Herringfleet Hall, Lowestoft, Suffolk, England. Notes for Thomas Jackson: Sir Thomas Jackson was chief manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and the first elected representative of the Chamber of Commerce in the Legislative Council, Hong Kong. He was knighted 8 July 1899 and created a Baronet 4 August 1902. An ad for the Hong Kong Bank of Canada in the Vancouver Sun in the 1980's shows that Sir Thomas Jackson was CEO 1876-1886, 1887-1889, 1890-1891, 1893-1902. From his obituary, the following facts: Educated at Morgans School, Castleknock and by private tuition. 1860 started banking career in Belfast Branch of the Bank of Ireland. 1864 accepted appointment with Agra Bank 1866 started work at Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank 1871 married Amelia Lydia 1902 Created a baronet According to Martin's Belfast Directory 1840-41, the Bank of Ireland Office was at 14 Donegall Place.

There was an 1823/33 Census of Carrigallen which may shed some light on where the Jacksons may have been living. It seems that it was partially damaged in a fire. I don't yet know where to access it.[Julius from Wendy Jack August 2005.FTW] Tom's birthplace is uncertain. A stained-glass memorial window in the Creggan Parish Church records his birthplace as Urker. However, like all of his siblings he was baptized by his uncle, Rev. Daniel Gunn BROWNE, and the register of the First Newtownhamilton Presbyterian Church records his father's residence as Carrigallen, Co Leith at that time. By the time of the birth of his brother James in 1850, the family were residing at Urker Lodge in Creggan, Co Armagh, Ireland. Educated at Morgan's School, Castlerock and by private tuition, Tom began his banking career at the Belfast Branch of the Bank of Ireland. In 1864 he moved to Hong Kong, where he joined the staff of the Agra and Masterbank. Two years later he moved to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, newly-founded in 1865. He advanced rapidly; in 1867 he was made the accountant at the branch in Shanghai, China. The following year he opened a new branch at Hankow, and then was appointed acting manager at Yokohama in Japan. The late 1860s and early 1870s were a testing time for the fledgling bank. Financial depression hit the Crown Colony, causing the closure of leading mercantile firms, and the bank was caught up in the financial gloom. Its Reserve Fund fell from $21/2 million to only $100,000, and payment of dividends was suspended for the 1874/1875 financial year. This was the economic climate at the time Tom Jackson was appointed as the bank's Chief Manager in 1876. With Jackson's good management the bank weathered the crisis, and under his direction went on to establish itself as Hong Kong's leading financial institution. Thomas Jackson remained Chief Manager until his retirement in 1902, at which time the bank's Reserve Fund held a solid $121/2 million. Tom was an important figure in the commercial and administrative life of the Hong Kong Colony. He was a Justice of the Peace, and was the first elected representative of the Chamber of Commerce in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. His services to the Colony and community were recognized when he was knighted by patent on 8 July 1899 and created a Baronet on 4 August 1902. After his permanent return to Britain, Sir Thomas lived at Stansted House in Stansted, Essex, England. On the death of his mother in 1903, he inherited Urker Lodge. His widowed sister Mary Griffin lived there, with his financial assistance and with a companion employed by Sir Thomas. He was also generous to other family members, purchasing a house and land for his brother James and his wife Sarah, and also assisting his sister Maggie when she was widowed. Sir Thomas was renowned for his benevolence to charities and for his generosity to the poor and needy. He was also fondly remembered in his native Crossmaglen for placing a clock on the Markethouse. This building had been erected in 1863 by local landlord Thomas Ball, who two years later added a fake clock to the structure. This "dummy clock" was a source of local derision for more than forty years until Sir Thomas Jackson replaced it with a beautiful ornamental clock in 1903. As a memorial to Sir Thomas Jackson, a stained-glass window was installed over the altar in Creggan Parish Church. The inscription on the window reads: "This window was placed here by many friends in loving memory of Sir Thomas Jackson Bart., born at Urker, 4th June, 1841, died at London 21st, Dec. 1915, whose kindly disposition and great and consistent Christian life endeared him to all". A statue of Sir Thomas Jackson was erected in Hong Kong. It still stands in Statue Square, oposite the building which was formerly the Supreme Court, but now houses the Legislative Council. The Square originally also had statues of members of the Royal Family, but now only that of Sir Thomas Jackson remains. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in World War II, the statues of Queen Victoria and Sir Thomas Jackson (along with the two brass lions which guarded the entrance to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank) were removed to Japan to be melted down. Their fate was unknown until just after the liberation in 1945, when an American sailor found them in the Kawasaki Dockyard. They were shipped back to Hong Kong under an order from General MacArthur. The statue of Queen Victoria is now in Victoria Park, while the lions guard the new bank headquarters.

Funeral Notice - 23 Dec 1915; pg 1 JACKSON. The FRIENDS of SIR THOMAS JACKSON who are unable to be present at his funeral at Stansted on Friday are INVITED to ATTEND a MEMORIAL SERVICE to be held at All Hallows' Church, Lombard-street, at noon, on the same day. There was an 1823/33 Census of Carrigallen which may shed some light on where the Jacksons may have been living. It seems that it was partially damaged in a fire. I don't yet know where to access it.[Julius from Wendy Jack August 2005.FTW] Tom's birthplace is uncertain. A stained-glass memorial window in the Creggan Parish Church records his birthplace as Urker. However, like all of his siblings he was baptized by his uncle, Rev. Daniel Gunn BROWNE, and the register of the First Newtownhamilton Presbyterian Church records his father's residence as Carrigallen, Co Leith at that time. By the time of the birth of his brother James in 1850, the family were residing at Urker Lodge in Creggan, Co Armagh, Ireland. Educated at Morgan's School, Castlerock and by private tuition, Tom began his banking career at the Belfast Branch of the Bank of Ireland. In 1864 he moved to Hong Kong, where he joined the staff of the Agra and Masterbank. Two years later he moved to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, newly-founded in 1865. He advanced rapidly; in 1867 he was made the accountant at the branch in Shanghai, China. The following year he opened a new branch at Hankow, and then was appointed acting manager at Yokohama in Japan. The late 1860s and early 1870s were a testing time for the fledgling bank. Financial depression hit the Crown Colony, causing the closure of leading mercantile firms, and the bank was caught up in the financial gloom. Its Reserve Fund fell from $21/2 million to only $100,000, and payment of dividends was suspended for the 1874/1875 financial year. This was the economic climate at the time Tom Jackson was appointed as the bank's Chief Manager in 1876. With Jackson's good management the bank weathered the crisis, and under his direction went on to establish itself as Hong Kong's leading financial institution. Thomas Jackson remained Chief Manager until his retirement in 1902, at which time the bank's Reserve Fund held a solid $121/2 million. Tom was an important figure in the commercial and administrative life of the Hong Kong Colony. He was a Justice of the Peace, and was the first elected representative of the Chamber of Commerce in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. His services to the Colony and community were recognized when he was knighted by patent on 8 July 1899 and created a Baronet on 4 August 1902. After his permanent return to Britain, Sir Thomas lived at Stansted House in Stansted, Essex, England. On the death of his mother in 1903, he inherited Urker Lodge. His widowed sister Mary Griffin lived there, with his financial assistance and with a companion employed by Sir Thomas. He was also generous to other family members, purchasing a house and land for his brother James and his wife Sarah, and also assisting his sister Maggie when she was widowed. Sir Thomas was renowned for his benevolence to charities and for his generosity to the poor and needy. He was also fondly remembered in his native Crossmaglen for placing a clock on the Markethouse. This building had been erected in 1863 by local landlord Thomas Ball, who two years later added a fake clock to the structure. This "dummy clock" was a source of local derision for more than forty years until Sir Thomas Jackson replaced it with a beautiful ornamental clock in 1903. As a memorial to Sir Thomas Jackson, a stained-glass window was installed over the altar in Creggan Parish Church. The inscription on the window reads: "This window was placed here by many friends in loving memory of Sir Thomas Jackson Bart., born at Urker, 4th June, 1841, died at London 21st, Dec. 1915, whose kindly disposition and great and consistent Christian life endeared him to all". A statue of Sir Thomas Jackson was erected in Hong Kong. It still stands in Statue Square, oposite the building which was formerly the Supreme Court, but now houses the Legislative Council. The Square originally also had statues of members of the Royal Family, but now only that of Sir Thomas Jackson remains. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in World War II, the statues of Queen Victoria and Sir Thomas Jackson (along with the two brass lions which guarded the entrance to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank) were removed to Japan to be melted down. Their fate was unknown until just after the liberation in 1945, when an American sailor found them in the Kawasaki Dockyard. They were shipped back to Hong Kong under an order from General MacArthur. The statue of Queen Victoria is now in Victoria Park, while the lions guard the new bank headquarters.

Notes for Margaret Jackson: In a 1915 letter from Bessie Brown [nee Jackson] to her son, Thomas Brown, an Aunt Margaret is mentioned and is possibly this Margaret. Slieveroe is mentioned. Is this where she got married? Or where she lived? From "Full Circle" p. 325 "The war memorial and other Cahans tablets ... are now in First Ballybay." "In loving memory of Margaret McCullagh who died 27th February 1944. Erected by her children." p. 326 "The McCullagh memorial was under the front window on the wall to the graveyard side. When she died in 1944, Mrs. Margaret McCullagh of Slieveroe had included in her will a clause expressing her wish that her son give [pounds] 5 yearly to Cahans in her memory 'where she had so long worshipped'. ...William Armour dedicated the memorial to one who had been 'for many years a staunch supporter of the congregation'[Presbyterian Herald, November 1950]. Family Bible held by Gika Jackson shows that she was married to Andrew Bradford McCullagh by Rev. David Jamieson. Money left to her by her aunt Mary Jane Oliver.

1	Hunch, In First Armagh Presbyterian a William OLIVER is named as father of several children, including a David and a Joseph in time frames that fit. Eliza OLIVER (1815-1903) who is an ancestor of this William claims that her family goes back to the Battle of the Boyne (1690), so he is likely related to the first known OLIVER in the area - an Andrew OLIVER whose son William OLIVER (1670-1766) was born at SherranmcAgnally - an early name for Farmacaffley. More work is needed here, although it may be that there are no more available records that can move us backwards in time.

4	1st Armagh Presbyterian Church, http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/TABLES/1stArmagh_Presbyterian.html, I have no record of marriage for him, but there is a record of a baptism of a son of Benjamin OLIVER in 1727 named William. I am placing that son with him based on a hunch.

5	Hunch, There is a probate for a Benjamin OLIVER of Ballinahonebeg in 1770. Also, in the 1782 Sept 7 DEED: 360-235-242429 concerning SEAVER-JACKSON and Ballinahonebeg mentions a Benjamin OLIVER deceased. This all seems to link up. It is also interesting that this is the same year that David OLIVER made his forays in leases at Laragh. There might be a connection. Perhaps a family death released some money? Perhaps both lands had complementary uses?.

6	St Marks internments records, A David OLIVER of Ballyrea was interred in the C of I St. Patricks Church in Armagh on Feb 6,1806.

7	At the Ford of the Birches, 263-264. "In 1766 Bryan Burns of Laragh demised to David Oliver of Ballyrea, C. Armagh, the corn mill called Lough Egish mill. Oliver was already in the linen trade in Co. Armagh. The corn mill seeminigly was changed into a beetling mill. It would appear that the concern got into debt and was 'rescued' by D McTear who in the process received a lien on the property. When David Oliver died, there was some difficulty in settling the estate. In 1815, the Court of Chancry ordered that in consideration of outstanding debts being discharged, McTear should assign the bleaching mill and green, in their actual possession, to Oliver's sons Joseph, William and Benjamin. The bleaching operation was being worked on a reduced scale; part of the mill had been changed into a flax scutching mill and another into a corn mill. It only worked 4 months of the year in total.".

	99		Hunch, Although I give a birth date of 1808 - it is unlikely. It is more likely that there are two Frances OLIVERs. If not, her mother's first child would have been born 44 years earlier - virtually impossible.

	100		PRONI T/960/1, There is a Frances OLIVER who was confirmed 26 May 1828 at Armagh Cathedral, age 16, therefore born 1808. This is not likely the same Frances OLIVER since her mother would have been in her 70s or 80s at the time of her birth.

	103		Mary Frances Kerley, The rise & fall of a village industry Cornacarrow & Laragh mills 1775 - 1925, He was known as Dr. Leslie. William Oliver borrowed heavily from his nephew David Leslie from the 1830s onwards. The arrangement between Oliver and Leslie continued for the next ten years and gradually as Leslie poured money into the concern he became more involved in the administration of the property. When William Oliver died in 1844 he had already drawn up a deed conveying all mills and property to David Leslie of Leslie Hill in Armagh. Joseph Oliver, Williams son and obvious heir, vehemently disputed Leslie right to the property and an inheritance saga ensued which resulted in two court cases in 1845. David Leslie was a magistrate who resided in the Derrynoose area of Co. Armagh. His residence, Leslie Hill, was beautifully situated with an avenue and plantations.

	110		Hunch, THIS IS PRETTY SLOPPY STILL. According to the court case over the mills at Laragh in 1845, Joseph OLIVER, son of William OLIVER was thrown in jail in February and was involved in illegal acts against David LESLIE, in an incident related to Joseph's father's insolvency. This is where we still need more detective work - but here is an interesting line to follow. There is an LDS record of a Joseph OLIVER and a Mary from Eglish Parish [SOURCE: Batch C700811 - same batch as for his father William OLIVER] . In the 1845 Court Case at Ballybay concerning ownership of the mills at Laragh, a James FEALY of Beagh is mentioned as Joseph's father-in-law, hence we might want to keep eyes open for a Mary FEALY. Also of interest in running this to ground is that a Patrick FEALY was resident in the townland of Fairtah in the parish of Aghnamullen in the Griffiths records (and Aughnamullen figures in this puzzle of OLIVERs and who fits where). Their children - all christened in Eglish Parish - would have been: 1. Margaret 1803 2. Elizabeth 1809 3. Anne 1811 4. Wm. 1815 5. Jane 1818 6. Mary 1823 7. Joseph 1826.

	122		Blin Brown Research, According to Blin (Sarah Margaret BROWN) writing abt 1938, two sons of Benjamin OLIVER Thomas & William died unchurched. Blin Brown Research, I note that Blin does not say “unmarried”, so it is possible that he had some marital-like relationship that we have no record of. NOTE: The Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich Memorial Library has records from the Catholic St. Patrick’s Church in Armagh, Co. Armagh of the baptism of a Benjamin OLIVER, August 21, 1841, son of William OLIVER and Anne MALLON and also a baptism of a Sarah OLIVER, daughter of the same. The notes indicate that the children are illegitimate, and that their father was a Protestant.

With enough other references (to joining Uncle Andy "on the other side"), I take this to be the year of her death. Jeannie was obviously staying at Trim at the time while her cousin Tom Houston was at Lausanne. SOURCES for birthdate: Jeannie Jackson's birthday book gives her mother's birthdate as 25 April, but gives no year. Mary McNeil gives the birth date as 1846 but gives the date as 1 August (the same as the marriage date). Jeannie Jackson would seem to be the more reliable.

Apparently a candelabra was also given to him, but the whereabouts of that is not known to us at this time. The chrysanthemum pattern is to signify long life.

	237		Note, For starters, depending on which document we look at, we have a range of possibilities to determine Martha Eliza OLIVERs birth. In her daughter Mary Jane's birth certificate, she is 22 years old on September 1st, 1869, hence born sometime in the year before September 1, 1847. In her marriage certificate, she was age 21 on February 20, 1864, hence born sometime in the year before February 21, 1843 (could be 1842-1843). On her death certificate, she is listed as age 28 on November 26, 1872, hence born sometime in the year before November 26, 1844 (could be 1843-44). If we can assume that one of these is right, I think we can discount her age as given on her daughter's birth certificate. Yes? This actually makes more sense since it would have meant that she would have been a mere 17 years old at age of marriage - and already so far from home. 21 makes more sense (although what took her there is most interesting - whatever that was! I do wonder if the Henry NORRIS, father of George, may have also come from Armagh. There were lots of NORRIS families in the same economic class as the OLIVERs at that time in Armagh. She may have come over as a domestic). There is a potential overlap between Martha's marriage and death certificate so that it is most likely that she was born in 1843. Her parents married March 22, 1843. This could mean many things. It could mean that Martha's birth may have been after the marriage and also conceived post marriage or it could have been a post marriage birth that was conceived pre-marriage or else it could have been a birth that preceded the marriage (sometimes in those days, they waited to see if the infant would live - and bear in mind that Andrew Bradford OLIVER had no living parents to guide him at this time and would have been about 25 years old while his wife was 21). Their marriage agreement was quite detailed, so I would assume that both her family and his trustees would have been onside. Given this, my guess is that the birth of Martha Eliza happened after the marriage and that she was their first born.

	230		Wendy Jack, Margaret Louisa WRIGHT was born in Monaghan, Co Monaghan, Ireland on 29 December 1868. Margaret married David JACKSON on 28 December 1893. David was born on 16 November 1855. He was the son of David JACKSON and Eliza OLIVER. David went to school at the Annaneese School in Ballybay Parish. One of three schools in the townland, it was located near McCooey's cross, and operated during the 1860s and 1870s. Like so many members of his extended family, David worked for the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. In 1877 he commenced work in the London office of the bank, and in March the following year he left Britain for the Far East. In May 1878 he joined the staff of the Shanghai office. The bank records show that in 1882 his monthly salary was $200. In April 1883, David was stationed in Hankow for a month before returning to Shanghai. In June the following year he returned to Hankow as Acting Agent, and was confirmed as Agent there in August 1886, with an annual salary of $6000. He was stationed in India briefly during 1887 before transferring to Shanghai as sub-manager in December 1887. In May 1888 he became acting Agent in Bombay, and remained there until his appointment as Manager of the Yokohama office in Japan in 1893. David took two years leave from the bank in January 1897. Presumably he and Margaret returned to Britain at this time to visit their families. He was there when his brother-in-law Andrew Bradford McCULLAGH died on 21 July 1897. His sister Mary wrote: Our David is better. We hope to see him at the funeral. In 1899, David returned to work as manager in Yokohama, a position which was effectively that of manager of the bank's Japanese operations. During David's tenure in Yokohama, Japan re-entered the foreign loan market. The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank was a member of and chief negotiator for the key consortium handling the loans through London. David's key role in this matter of vital economic importance to Japan was acknowledged when he was made a Companion of the Order of the Rising Sun, and presented with three silver bowls and two candelabra by the Emperor Meiji. (The largest of these bowls, of the Chrysanthemum design, is now in the collection of the Vancouver Museum; it was donated to the museum by David's relative, David Hugh Plunkett BROWN. Another of the bowls is known to be in the possession of other family members in Co Down, Ireland, but the whereabouts of the third bowl and the candelabra remains a mystery.) David died of a heart aneurysm on 27 July 1903 in Yokohama, Japan. After David's death, Margaret married secondly John Hatton PORTER in 1905 in Ireland. John was born in 1858. He was the son of Rev. James PORTER and Hariette HATTON. Occupation: manager of the Provincial Bank of Ireland. John assumed the surname PORTER-HATTON and the arms of Hatton by Royal Licence on 5 October 1908. John predeceased his wife, who is known to have been a widow in 1937. She resided at The Grange, in Hook, Hampshire, England in 1937. Margaret died 24 February 1945 in Freeduff, Parish of Creggan, Armagh, Northern Ireland. Her death certificate recorded her cause of death as pulmonary oedema and coronary thrombosis.
