1616 The Castle and Family of Sir Neale O’Neill

Neile Oge married Alice, daughter of James Fitzgerald, and died about 1599, leaving two sons minors, of whom we afterwards find the following notice:

“We doe acknowledge and confess that we have received at the hands of the Maior, Sheriffs, and Corporacon of the Towne of Knockfargus, the Patent graunted unto us by his Majestie for houldinge of our lands of Killy???, Kilmackevit, being formerlie comm.??? by direction from the late Lord Deputie, unto the trust and custodye of the Maior and Corporacon of Knockfergus aforesayde, until such tyme as we should come to perfecte adge, and be capable of reason and understandinginge; as wytness our hands this 18th of April, 1616.

1621? Templepatrick

Mr. Josias Welsh (grandson of John Knox the reformer of Scotland)…came to Templepatrick, in the year 1621 or 1622…At this time, James I, having changed his religious opinions from Presbyterianism, was attempting to enforce Episcopal church government in Scotland…The state of the country, of religion, and the banished Scotch and English ministers, were often the principal topics of their conversation. The captain having an unfavourable opinion of the abilities and conduct of Mr. Tracey, the incumbent, expressed a desire of seeing some sensible, pious man of these divines…In consequence of promising a safe conduct, Mr. Walsh, was introduced to the captain, who was so well please with his conversation, learning and piety, that he engaged him to preach in the temple, the next Lord’s day. Mr. Tracey, being informed of the captain’s intentions, went early to the church on that day, and had begun the service before the captain arrived; but when he entered, he ordered the incumbent out of the desk, and Mr. Walsh into the pulpit…1631 (he was) suspended by the Bishop of Down for non-conformity.  (Mr. Welsh died 23rd June 1634 after 12 years in Templepatrick)…From the death of Mr. Walsh in 1634, till the ordination of Mr. Kennedy, in the year 1646, there was an interruption of public worship in Templepatrick…Such were the causes which prevented the puritans from the enjoyment of the beifits of public worship in Templepatrick, from the year 1631, till the ordination of Mr. Kennedy, as pastor of the congregation, in 1646.

Ellen Tracey & Hugh Eaton

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me, I was looking at the marriages on the Tracey Clan web page and noticed a marriage of Ellen Tracey 3rd quarter 1898(1 325) in Belfast, I think this might be my great grandmother. Would the clan have a record of her husband, if it is my great grandmother she married Hugh Eaton. They were married in Belfast but lived in Derry.

Any info would be great. Many thanks.

She is mentioned in a book "When Dublin Was The Capital" by Alison Murphy. I know little about her and I would like to find out, who her parents were and if she has any brothers or sisters.

North Belfast Harriers Ladies won the Irish 10k roads championship last year in Navan. Athletics Ireland nominated them as their representative in the European clubs roads championship in Moscow Saturday 8/9/07. The Race was a 15k road race for teams of four, three to score plus a manager. The North Belfast Team was Sharon trimble, Louise Mc clean, Lisa Tracy and Cathy McCourt with Claire McCorry as team manager. Sharon Trimble was first home in 57minutes followed by Cathy McCourt, Louise McClean and Lisa Tracy. They finished a creditable 7th team against  the elite of European clubs. Not to be outdone the manager Claire also competed in and finished the race.

Ernest William Sibbald Treacy

My Grandfather was Ernest William Sibbald Treacy was married to Evelyn May Hester (Morris) 25th August 1920 Belfast, Northern Ireland. Some of his family lived in Hollywood, Northern Ireland. Ernest’s Father was from Southern Ireland his name was known as Sam and his wife Elizabeth. But Sam and Elizabeth eloped to Northern Ireland and married and he was a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

I remember him when I was young and I am trying to find out more about his family. I have all the information on his wives and children. I am just trying to find out about his brothers and sisters and where they came from originally in Ireland. I myself was born in Ireland but later and I am living in the USA now.

Ernest was the band leader of Sibbald Treacy’s Rhythm Kings in Northern Ireland and played for the BBC. He also played the piano. I would like to hear from anyone that knew him or may have any of his sheet music.  I remember as a child seeing all his sheet music with his picture on the front of it and visiting him when he lived on the Antrim Road in Belfast where there was a plaque outside the front door that read Musical Director Sibbald Treacy Lives or lived here.  I am not sure if it is still there or not.

The afternoon concert on Friday, August 29, will be provided by the Trocadero Sextet, directed by E.W. Sibbald Treacy, and relayed from the Trocadero Restaurant, Portrush. Besides being musical director of the sextet, Mr. Treacy is responsible for the dance band at the Northern Counties Hotel in this County Antrim seaside resort. His interest in dance music began when he visited America eight years ago and came into contact with Schneider’s band in New York and Pennsylvania. Shortly after this he completed a tour through Europe with an American band, and the experience gained in this direction has been made full use of by Mr. Treacy, with the result that his sextet has proved itself the finest café orchestra in the Province. An idea of the strength of the combination can be gleaned from the fact that it contains such artists as Randolph Booth (violoncello), whose solos were at one time a feature of the Regent Cinema, Sheffield; and Jack Glover, who has earned a high reputation in the dance world.

Ann Tracey/Treacy b. Belfast area c1836? m. Thomas Maw in Manchester

Elizabeth b. Ashton (or possibly Belfast)

My  2nd Gt Grandmother was called Ann Tracey and she married my 2nd Gt Grandfather Thomas Maw in Manchester area date unknown, I have searched for a marriage but the only one I can find is for a John Maw to Ann Treacy in 1863 in Ashton Under Lyne, I believe this is their marriage but don't know why John changed his name to Thomas. Ann died in 1881 in Manchester Royal Infirmary but on the 1881 census Thomas & Ann are living in Ashton Under Lyne (again tying in with the marriage I found) and Ann says she was born in Belfast, and my their daughter my Gt Grandmother Elizabeth is stated as being born in Gorton, Manchester in c.1865. Then in 1882 Thomas marries an Elizabeth Tracey in Ashton Under Lyne giving her fathers name as John Tracey. On the 1891 census Elizabeth says she was born in Ashton. I have been trying to sort this mystery out for a few years now and whenever I find some new info it creates another problem to solve. I have searched for the birth of my Gt Grandmother Elizabeth Maw c.1865 in Gorton but can not find her anywhere, the only marriage I can find is that one for John Maw and Ann Treacy, and all I know about Ann Tracey/Treacy is that she was born c.1836 in Belfast and if Elizabeth Tracey was her sister then Ann’s father could be John Tracey/Treacy.
