Isabella Kyle

Isabella was married by licence by Charles Crossley on 24/12/1867 in the parish church of Kilcluney to John Thompson, blacksmith, of Newtownhamilton.

Her father is William Kyle, labourer.  Does this mean her father had no land and would not appear in Griffith's Valuation? 

As Isabella is described "of full age" on her marriage certificate, her birth date would be 1846 or before.  Unless they have been copied, I understand from PRONI that Kilcluney baptisms 1832- are in local custody.  Are there any plans to allow these to be more widely seen?  That would be a great way of reaching out!

If anyone has any information on Isabella's birth, family, address, etc. I would be most grateful.

John and Isabella had moved to Glasgow by 1870 so I have Census information on them.  Perhaps they followed the traditional Irish naming patterns?  Not strictly but the names might help. Their children, in order, were:

Margaret, William, John, Ann Jane, Sarah, Elizabeth, John (1st John died in infancy), Isabella, Mary, Christina Livingstone, Minnie, unknown Thompson.

Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
