• General Notes

  Al Luce - 21/01/2007:
  *** And now for another possible sequence, perhaps it was Thomas Snr who married Agnes Dempsey and had a few additional children late in life. Thomas Jnr would probably be one of his early children (1st, 2nd or 3rd son by naming convention, depending on the names of the grandfathers). If this were the case, then James would be Fanny and Hester's uncle in Newark, NJ and also an uncle and not a brother to my great-grandfather, John who remained in Kilrea (therefore a great-uncle to my grandfather, John, who came to New York). My knowledge of my connection to James started with my uncle's claim that James was an uncle of his father - I would now not rule out great-uncle with the 'great' detail lost in retelling the story over the years. My uncle actually started his active family history research about 20 years after his father died. He was able to question his mother, Jane Perry Bellingham, about her recollections but her association with the Bellingham's started in New York about 1900 and probably after that James had passed on.
