McAloon Family Puzzle

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Terence Report 23 Oct 2015 14:21

Hi,everybody,again.Sorry to be a nuisance.There are 2 trees on Ancestry about the McAloon Families.One shows Andrew b.1827 with a son called Cornelius,b.1850,
Gateshead.Another shows Thomas b.1828 with a son called Cornelius,b.1851,Leadgate.My puzzle is that both trees say "their" Cornelius married Elizabeth McGraham in the 1870's.Obviously one is wrong,but which one?
All the best,Terry L.

The marriage cert for Cornelius would give his father's name.

This is the baptism of the one born 1850:-

First name(s) Cornelius
Last name Mcaloon
Gender Male
Birth year -
Birth place -
Baptism year 1850
Baptism date 28 Jul 1850
Residence Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England
Place Newcastle on Tyne
County Northumberland
Country England
Father's first name(s) Andrew
Father's last name Mcaloon
Mother's first name(s) Ann
Mother's last name Madden

As Potty has already said, if you buy the marriage certificate it should give his father's name.

I must admit I never look at other people's trees unless I find a connection myself. Easier to start with yourself and work slowly backwards getting certificates to confirm your research.

I think whoever owns the tree with Thomas named as the father has made a mistake. This looks like the family in 1861 and Thomas born c.1828 is a lodger (and possible brother) of Andrew:-

Andrew MacLoon Head Married Male 26 1825 Iron Stone Miner Ireland
Ann MacLoon Wife Married Female 19 1832 - Ireland
Cornelius MacLoon Son - Male 0 1851 - Gateshead, Durham, England<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Thomas MacLoon Lodger - Male 23 1828 Iron Stone Miner Ireland
Patrick MacLoon Lodger - Male 19 1832 Iron Stone Miner Ireland
Barnard MacLoon Lodger - Male 14 1837 Iron Stone Miner Ireland

Although this record says Cornelius is born 1851 I think he would be born 1850 and had not yet reached his first birthday by census day in 1851.
