Hilary...Do you have any dates for Robert ...birth/marriage..
What evidence that Hugh was from the Co Antrim..?

Where were they living? There are a couple of Hugh Laverys showing on census returns but one is in Lincolnshire, one in Scotland ... a geographical hint would help.

Hilary..The only Robert b to a Hugh and Maria I am seeing at the moment is for Moira. Co Down Jan.1842...
However it does not marryup with what Rbt (1901 census) has listed as place of Birth...
Have found his marriage to Sarah..31 Dec 1863 Lisburn


I assume this is the family...

thank you , Hugh was a weaver , robert, his son was married in 1863 fron the Ballyclough townland, to a Sarah Bradshaw. I do not think they went to England or Scotland, however some pf their siblings or children may have.

Robert anSarah moved to Belfast , where my other descendants were born, so I don't think this 1901 family are their immediate connection .Have tried Ancestry as well.

Hilary...I have no idea at the moment who Hugh Lavery was married to...
Is the family for Belfast (Dock Ward) your Robert and family...?
Were the family Methodist..C/I...?
How do you know Robert married Ballyclogh Townland

Hilary

Hilary Report 9 Apr 2011 15:03

Hugh possibly could have been born anywhere from around 1800 on, I was only estimating his age. He and Maria? may have been slightly older parents.Robert was born in 1842, thanks so much for your input .Where would I find their marriage details ?

Hilary

Hilary Report 9 Apr 2011 15:07

I really dont know if this Dock Ward family is the correct Robert most of my Lavery connections were CoI, , St Patricks in East Belfast at the turn of the 1900's . I have no information on Robert's siblings, as yet , perhaps that will help in the future. Sorry

just downloaded their marriage record again and it states the townland of Ballyclough as husbands address. He was also a weaver, like his father Hugh. No mother's name given. wife's townland was Ballynadolly,. Lisburn reg.off. Lisburn ,Blaris.

So you are looking for a Robert Lavery son of Hugh from Ballyclogh...doesn't follow that Hugh himself was from the Co Antrim or even Robert they may have moved into the area at some stage from the ?Co Down...that being said you now need to see if you can find a record of Hugh from Ballyclogh.....
But where do you get Maria as mother of Robert from...?
