I have found that I have TWO family history links to SHILBOTTLE! 

1) Mary Ann Laing (born 18/09/1802) in Hazon, Northumberland. She married George Atkinson in Brigg, Lincolnshire and they moved to Hull, East Yorkshire where they had a music shop.  They had quite a large family. - they are my 3x great grandparents....

2) Mary Ann Turner (born 07/07/1629) who was the daughter of Robert and Debora Turner of Turnerstead, Shilbottle.  This Mary Ann married Henry Greer, who we understand was a Quaker and they moved over to Ireland.

It is their SHILBOTTLE history that I am interested in.  If I can help anyone on their later family history I will.  Thank you.

Henry Greer and Mary Turner are on my family line l have been researching my family tree for some 18 months now.

Henry and Mary had a number of children one of which was my family line born 1675 but unfortunately have no name. That person then had a son born 1695 again no name, that son then had a son born 1721 finally that son had a child  born 1751 at Timaconway County Londonderry he is referred to as Timaconway Greer but this is not his actual name. Timaconway is the townland name for our family farm which has been in the family for a few hundred years now and he was my great grandfather 4x removed.

I would love to learn the actual names for these four persons and that of their respective wives. I would love to hear from you and assist with your research if possible.

Regards

Greer Morrison
