To Derek:
Thank you for those certificate notes. The one of interest to me is the one I have saved on this reply. My great-great-grandfather was a John KIRKPATRICK. His son, William, was from Drumlee, Parish of Finvoy, and was a widower when he married Jane PATTERSON in 1872. It is possible that the witness on the following certificate was his father, John.
I have a KIRKPATRICK/TORRENS wedding certificate and wonder if these people are my great-great-grandparents:
March 22, 1847 At 1st Ballymoney Pres. Church, Parish of Ballymoney, Co. Antrim
Groom: John KIRKPATRICK of full age bachelor Craigatempin, Parish of Ballymoney
Groom's father: William KIRKPATRICK farmer
to
Isabella TORRANS of full age spinster Craigatempin, Parish of Ballymoney
Bride's father: Samuel TORRENS farmer
Witnesses: Samuel TORRENS and Samuel LAMONT
John KIRKPATRICK signed his name.
Isabella TORRANS made an X
Note the discrepancy between the spelling of the bride's surname, with an A, and the witness's signature, with an E. I think this would be the minister's error since the bride could not write.
Derek, I'm wondering if the John KIRKPATRICK who witnessed the marriage of James ARMOUR and Nancy TORRANCE was the brother-in-law of the bride, if it was the same KIRKPATRICK who married Isabella TORRANS. Or, it could be a son of John KIRKPATRICK'S witnessing his cousin's marriage.
Is Craigatempin south of the town of Ballymoney?
