FAMILY TREES
The version of the family tree at: Rootsweb: silverbowl has been non-functioning for updates since December 2017. I hope that Ancestry will ressurect it. In the meantime, this is the best that I can offer. Please check the date when the tree was last updated. Some will still need to be. NOTE: Information on names and dates of living family members is not included in any of the trees on this site unless they are already in some public source.
Other useful Links: Raymond's site has thousands of Co. Down records, as does Ros Davies site. When dates are recorded in news noticesusing phrases such as Friday inst, a historical calendar is helpful.
Sharon Oddie Brown. August 28, 2018NOTE:Since I have dozens of JACKSON and OLIVER family trees, I have moved them to separate pages. SEE:
JACKSON FAMILY TREES.
OLIVER FAMILY TREEs.
Not all of the people will turn out to be connected to my JACKSONs and OLIVERs. I have done some of these trees with the purpose of either verifying or else disproving connection. Both outcomes can be equally enlightening.

ASHEs of Ireland. My purpose in researching this line is to see what I can learn about some of the collateral links to both JACKSONs and GOREs.
SEE ALSO:
NOTE: On the premise that birds of a feather fly together, connections to Co. Kildare are likely worthy of more attention, as are connections to Drogheda. Also, intermarriages to the BALL and CROFTON families. The JACKSONs of Coleraine shared marriages with these two families in the late 1600s and early 1700s. |

| BALL family Timeline. This family intermarries with JACKSONs and holds many leases connected to them. | |
| 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. NOTE: This is also included in my main tree at rootsweb. | 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). | |
| Beresford Family Tree - DRAFT. The BERESFORDs were related to the JACKSONs of Coleraine and Co. Londonderry in many ways, both through direct intermarriage, and also through inter-marriages with other collateral lines: ROWLEY & McCULLAGH to name two of them. This is my first stab at organizing the BERESFORDs into a tree. There may be errors and omissions. Updates will follow | February 2, 2019 |
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. |

| Birch, James & Mary Jackson
Five generations in an outline descendant tree
format. NOTE: This includes the family of the noted Thomas Ledlie Birch of 1798 fame. |
July 14, 2003 |
| BRADFORDs of Co. Louth. This page explores links with JACKSONs and others. There were many intermarriages of cousins with COULTER etc. | September 30, 2008 |
| 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. |
December 4, 2005 |
| BRERETON-GRATTAN-JACKSON. This is a DRAFT tree – much more needs to be added, and I have not annotated it. Yet. Still, it is enough to illustrate the connections between JACKSONs and GRATTANs aka GRATTENs. See also: JACKSONs of Santry This tree has subsequently been merged into the JACKSONs of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin. | December 20, 2022 |
| 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 Mounthill. This tree connects the COULTERs of Mounthill, Shortstone, Silverbridge and Liscalgot. | April 27, 2012 |
| 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. | December 8, 2008 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. NOTE: This is also included in my main tree at rootsweb. | 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. NOTE: This is also included in my main tree at rootsweb. |
July 14, 2003 |
| Donaldson, John descendants This 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 |
| GORE family of Ireland. There are 264 members of the GORE family listed here - as well as hundreds of other people. This is my first stab at creating this family tree, and there are bound to be errors. Correction is always welcomed - please email me at Contact link above. My purpose in assembling the tree was to find the mother of Rev. William JACKSON (1737-1795) - the well known United Irishman. I still do not know the surname of his maternal grandmother - and would love to find out. Updated significantly December 17, 2019. | July 25, 2018 |
| 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. Updated. The links to JACKSONs are now known - at least at the label of an advanced hunch. | April 28, 2004 July 7, 2016 |

JACKSONs: There are now more than three dozen JACKSON family trees posted to my web site, so I have indexed them on a separate page: JACKSON FAMILY TREES:
|
February 27, 2016 |
| 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 |
| Julius, John This family had roots in Norfolk, then later in the British Colonies of St. Kitts and Nevis. They married into the DARE family, whose descendant Amelia Lydia DARE married Sir Thomas JACKSON. There are details of the DARE branch in Murray-Tollemache-Parke-Dare . | June 13, 2011 |
| Lynch, James. The LYNCH family are key to us understanding much of Sir Thomas JACKSONs connections to Cavananore in Co. Louth. I am grateful for the help that Eugene, Maria and their son Ronan have given to me over the past few years. We are still trying to track down the LYNCH roots in Co. Kildare since it was said that Patrick LYNCH (1832-1913) worked on a farm in Kildare owned by Sir Thomas JACKSON. I still do not know where that farm might be. | May 2, 2012 |
| Descendants of Alexander McCULLAGH. NOTE: In this family tree, I have recorded most of the variant names as McCULLAGH (including McCULLA, McCULLOH, McCULLOGH etc). It makes them easier to track, and sometimes several variations are included in a single document. | January 15, 2019 |
| 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 |
| Mauleverer, William The MAULEVERERs go back many generations at Maghera, Co. Derry and at some point, I will add those bits in. For now, this is intended only as a complement to the story about the murder of Robert Lindsay MAULEVER. | July 7, 2010 July 15, 2011 |
| 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 |
| Murray-Tollemache-Parke-Dare The MURRAY-TOLLEMAGHE-PARKE-DARE family tree is a complex and fascinating tree. There are links that go back to Gregory CROMWELL - husband of Elizabeth SEYMOUR, whose sister Jane was wife to Henry VIII. The tree starts with William MURRAY, the whipping boy of King Charles I. In the ensuing generations, there are stories of fortunes made and lost, of pirates, and bigamous marriages. In short, practically everything that could have happened to this family, from the noble, merchant and seafaring classes, did. NOTE: This was previously entered under Tollemache fmaily trees, which have since been removed. | April 4, 2011 |
| OLIVERs. There are now so many trees for OLIVER, that I have created a separate page. The links beneath have been retained since some readers may have saved this page as a way to find their tree. | October 1, 2015 |
| Olivers of Armagh - misc. These represent a number of OLIVER tree stubs that I had got as far as putting into a GEDCOM, but no further. I will add to them as I get time to take raw data and put them into databases. In the meantime, I wanted to cobble these together before I went to Ireland in a week’s time. | September 11, 2011 |
Olivers of Ballyrea, Ballinahonebeg & Killynure, Co. Armagh I have highlighted my g-g-g-grandfather and my
great-great-grandmother in red. Details of this tree, including sources, can
be seen on line at Rootsweb silverbowl tree. September 11, 2011 |
|
| Olivers of Lismullydown, Co. Tyrone 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. | September 11, 2011 |
| Olivers of Lisnacroy, Co. Tyrone This tree includes the Lisnacroy, Co. Tyrone OLIVER ancestors of Maria Beattie, one of the many thorough and generous spirited researchers who I have had the pleasure to meet. | September 11, 2011 |
| Orr, Samuel John Corbett This tree was contributed thanks to Robyn M Condliffe. | May 5, 2004 |
| WRAY descendants of Henry WRAY & Jane JACKSON The WRAY family are connected to the JACKSONs of Coleraine. | April 10, 2010 |
| Purefoy Family Tree: Basil, Peter & Arthur were brothers who were granted lands in Ireland after 1641, and their cousin Lt. Col. William PUREFOY (1584-1659) was also granted lands. He died sans issue and his lands went to William PUREFOY (1622-1699), a brother of Basil, Peter & Arthur.Updated Oct 25, 2023. | April 20, 2021 |
| 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. |
