Roots search: Brownlee and Anderson connections?
Published Date:
27 August 2007
Iam trying to trace my grandparents family or anyone who knew them. My grandfather was Archibald Brownlee he was born 28th November 1871.
His father was Alexander Brownlee, his mother was Agnes Clarke and his birth was registered in the district of Broughshane, Ballymena
My grandmother was Martha Ann Matilda Anderson she was born 27th September 1881. Her father was David Anderson and her mother, Margaret Jane McGee's birth is registered in district of Ahoghill Ballymena
They married on 8th January 1903 in theChurch of Ireland. I can't make the parish out but it looks like Kilemurla in the Co of Antrim.
They then moved to Harthill, Lanarkshire Scotland. My granfather was living there when they married. He was a miner. Gran's residence was as far as I can make out, Parkhead, Ballymena
My grandad died 1936, but my Gran lived until 1970 and was a grand lady. She flew to Ireland many a time. I do know Gran had sisters and a brother. I can only remember one called Mary.
There was a friend from Ireland called Jimmy Bones. I don't know any thing about my grandfather or his family but maybe someone remembers somthing.
Thank You
