Hello

I am researching my Beattie family of the Cottown area. My great grandfather was Hugh Beattie b. 20 Mar 1860 in Herdstown, married Agnes Gilmore (d/o Hugh Gilmore and Sarah Davis) b. 26 Jan 1857 in Herdstown. Hugh's parents were Charles Beatty b. abt 1824 Northern Ireland (?) and Christian David (d/o John Davis) b. 1829 County Down.

Hugh and Agnes had 6 children: James 1883, John Nelson 1888, Charles 1889, Eleanor 1894, Agnes Elizabeth 1896 and Christine 1899.

I know that Hugh and Agnes were married Apr 10, 1882 at Presbyterian Church, Ballycopeland and that some of the children were baptised at the Shore Street Presbyterian Church, Donaghadee.

Their son James b. Aug 20, 1883 was my grandfather and he married Margaret Allen (d/o John & Agnes) of the Primacy on Sept 24, 1906 at the Shore Street Presbyterian Church, Donaghadee.

If anyone might know of this family, I'd really appreciate your help.

 

all the best from Canada
