I have cross-referenced all the baptisms, marriages, burials and confirmations of Creggan Parish that relate to my family tree and that are available to me from a range of sources. My primary source was PRONI MIC 1-11. Some names are included only because they also reside in a significant townland - for example, Urker. Many of my notes are not much more than conjecture. Please take them with a grain of salt. In total, there are about 55 pages of transcriptions of burial records and my notes. Dozens of names are mentioned.

Eleanor

Ball, Samuel Esq.

 

I suspect she is the daughter of Capt Samuel BALL (1757-1843) & Mary HOWARD (1774-1837) of Urker.

See also 1810 Mar 25 birth, dau of Samuel.

1809 Jul 2

Mary

Tipping, Andrew

 [Annaghvackey aka Rochdale]
[Annavacky aka Rochdale aka Annaghvacky, Parish Creggan, Barony Upper Dundalk, Co. Louth]

I do not know where these TIPPINGs connect.  There were TIPPINGS at Mounthill and Castletown . They were landowners involved in leases with JACKSONs & COULTERs. In the mid-1700s. Mary COULTER, a sister of Andrew COULTER (d. 1775) of Cavananore married Samuel TIPPING. Both the naming patterns & geography would hint at a link with this Andrew TIPPING.

Jackson, John

 

This is not the John JACKSON, son of George JACKSON (1718-1782) & Margaret O’LAUGHLIN (-1797) of Lisnadill nor the son of John JACKSON (1780-1817) & Elizabeth McCULLAGH (1788-1880)

Eleanor

Ball, Samuel

 

I suspect she is the daughter of Capt Samuel BALL (1757-1843) & Mary HOWARD (1774-1837) of Urker.

1810 ?

 

Ball, Margaret

 

 

A Margaret BALL d. 1898 Dec 15 hence b. 1810 was the daughter of Capt Samuel BALL & Mary HOWARD of Urker. She was not recorded (at least by me) in the baptismal records. PRONI: Probate of the Will of Margaret Ball late of Castle-road Dundalk County Louth Spinster who died 14 December 1898 granted at Armagh to the Reverend Joseph G. Rainsford D.D. Rector of Dundalk and John William Turner Esquire both of Dundalk. She gave £1000 to grand-niece Annie E.A. JOHNSTONE plus her house and furniture...other legatees

1810 Sep 1

Richard

Johnston, John X James of Dorsey

 

It would seem likely that this Richard is related to the JOHNSTONs of Dorsey who were confirmed at Creggan Church in 1824, as well as a later batch confirmed in 1833.

NOTE: The name Richard JOHNSTON is of interest because of the earlier Richard JOHNSTON who married Anne JACKSON, daughter of George JACKSON & Margaret O’Laughlin of Urker in 1767. See also the baptism of George JOHNSTON of Dorsey, son of James & Ann.

1810 Oct 7

George

Stephens, Thomas of Crossmaglen

 

George STEPHENS (1810-1891) of Co. Monaghan, the son of Thomas STEPHENS (1773-1829) and Barbara JACKSON (1783-1813).

 1810 Nov 23

 

Mary

Wallace of [Caherwood?]

 

Probably Cregganbane.

1810, Oct 17

 

Margaret

Ball, Samuel Esq.

Urker

She is the daughter of Capt Samuel BALL (1757-1843) & Mary HOWARD (1774-1837) of Urker.

Probate of the Will of Margaret Ball late of Castle-road Dundalk County Louth Spinster who died 14 December 1898 granted at Armagh to the Reverend Joseph G. Rainsford D.D. Rector of Dundalk and John William Turner Esquire both of Dundalk. She gave £1000 to grand-niece Annie E.A. JOHNSTONE plus her house and furniture...other legatees

1810, Oct 30

 

Mary

Jackson, Richard

Tullyvallen – possibly – later Urker, possibly.

Most likely the daughter of Richard JACKSON (1778-1848 & Sarah McKEE. They also belonged to the Freeduff Presbyterian congregation.

SEE: Burial Richard JACKSON of Liscalgot 1848, Feb 17. He was a son of David JACKSON & Margaret BRADFORD.

NOTE: In 1825, a Richard JACKSON was a tenant of Tullyvallen (one of Capt. REID’s tenants). A James GROSET who was possibly the husband of Jane JACKSON lived there as well.

NOTE: TGF Paterson records John JOHNSTON as dying unmarried, and yet I have a daughter Mary, cited in a will of her grandfather.

NOTE: A Graham JOHNSTON is mentioned in the 1817 inventory of John JACKSON’s assets. He is too young to be this Graham JOHNSTON.

Probably dau of Capt Samuel BALL (1757-1843) & Mary HOWARD (1774-1837) of Urker.

Given that a Thomas BALL (1696-1742) married a Grace ACTON, and there were numerous descendants of his named Samuel, I would expect it is likely that Jane Grace would be of their descendants.

It is also curious that entries before this one give the name of the mother. If this is the John DONALDSON who I think it is, then he was the author of A Historical & Statistical Account of the Barony ofUpper Fews.

Louthis a townland associated with COULTERs, so it is of more than passing interest that a William McCULLAGH married a Jane COULTER and had three sons, sometime in the mid-1700s. It may be farfetched, but the wife may also be an OLIVER. The jury is out. She may also be MAGEE.

I do not know where these TIPPINGs connect.  There were TIPPINGS at Mounthill and Castletown . They were landowners involved in leases with JACKSONs & COULTERs. In the mid-1700s. Mary COULTER, a sister of Andrew COULTER (d. 1775) of Cavananore married Samuel TIPPING. Both the naming patterns & geography would hint at a link with this Andrew TIPPING.

NOTE: Mar 31, 1851, a Hannah TIPPING married John NEVILLE weaver, widower at Philipstown, Church of Barronstown, Co. Louth in presence of Joseph TIPPING. She was of Treagh, a servant and a daughter of Andrew TIPPING, Farmer.

They married in 1831. I have a birth date of February 23, 1837, a census gives her birth date as 10 or 11 Feb 1837 – so something is amiss. Perhaps 1836 is actually 1838 and I misread it.

One correspondent who follows McMATH families believes that the mother was a Sarah JACKSON.

In the 1901 Census, a Sarah McMATH was a widow born in Monaghan age 64 in Coolshannagh, hence b 1837. This would be the next generation, her husband Andrew McMATH likely a brother of Sophia. One lost record said that Sarah JACKSON was b 1814 in Sterling Scotland and died in 1901 in Castleblayney. There was also a son: Andrew Jackson McMATH. NOTE: This all needs more work.
