Find Ancestors

Try to find any Woodside family's living now in and around the :- Down Patrick, Shrigley, Crossgar area.

My granddad Robert Umney (Bob) married at sometime a Margaret Woodside of that area, not find the marriage been told it was in Ireland but cannot find anything is there anybody that can help me.

I have been told that Margaret Woodside had a child before marrying Robert, a Joseph surname not known. (born around 1947-1950) in Ireland.

Nobody in my family no when they were married.

Many thanks
Stephen

William Joseph ? (known as Joseph) just been told he was born in the January of 1949 in Ireland and a family member as just said they think Robert married Margaret the same year ?

Had a look on Groni and it's a long shot as only marriges that took place over 75yrs ago are on the index.
There is one potential marriage between:

Margaret Woodside and Joseph Teale who married in Newtonabbey on 20 Mar 1942

Or have I misunderstood your OP?

yes sorry just edited my first post.

Is this what you mean....

As far as you know, Margaret Woodside was previously unmarried but had a child named Joseph born circa 1947-1950 and she later married your grandfather?

yes Margaret Woodside was previously unmarried but yes had a child called William Joseph born Jan 1949 and yes she later married my grandfather.

thanks for your help

Records are too recent Stephen. They will be closed.
Only marriages over 75yrs old and births over 100yrs old are available.

Hi there, can you give me any advice what to do next ? Stephen

Assuming the marriage took place somewhere in NI, I would guess that the only place to check would be Public Record Office Of Northern Ireland (PRONI)

2 Titanic Boulevard, Titanic Quarter, Belfast, BT3 9HQ

Thanks for all your help I'm looking at written to them this weekend.

Hi Glasgowlass

There are a few Woodside surnames in Shrigley Village Killyleagh

Hi AustinQ many Thanks.

Didn't know if this marriage was related- Surname McCaskin:

Hi AustinQ

My grandmother cert says father Willam Woodside, mother Margaret Woodside nee McCashin.

It looks good and could fit apart from McCaskin could it be McCashin ?

What do you think ?

I think it's correct- and Margaret was from the correct area.

That would be great nobody in my family know where my grandmother was married and now in the space of a month I could be gone back again thanks to you.
Many thanks, Stephen.

I was struggling to find the family in 1901- but then spotted this. The ages seem all over the place, but I think it's still the same family (Agnes/ Nancy/ Ann/ Hannah are often interchangeable):

Residents of a house 130 in Shrigley Village (Killyleagh, Down)

Nancey McCashin Wife Married 36 1865 Down
William J McCashin Son Single 19 1882 Down
George Woodside Son in Law Married 23 1878 Down
Maggie McCashin Daughter Single 18 1883 Down
Sarah J Woodside Daughter Married 22 1879 Down
Mary McCashin Daughter Single 15 1886 Down
Mary Woodside Grand Daughter Single - - Down
------------------------------------

Note that daughter, Sarah married to George Woodside- perhaps a brother or relation of William Woodside? This is their marriage:

21st April 1900

Abode: Shrigley
Father: William (labourer)

Sarah Jane McCashin
