<\/a><\/p>\nOf these, all the siblings of my second great-grandmother Margaret died before 1926 except Hubert. In 1911, Hubert was living in Culnagneragh:<\/p>\n
I think this was called Clarkwood in English.<\/p>\n Here is Hubert and family 15 years later:<\/p>\n Hubert is now 77 and his wife has died. There are still three children living on the farm. I assume that George and Mary J are married to each other. Unfortunately, I cannot make out where Mary J was born.<\/p>\n Here is my best guess:<\/p>\n This was likely not far from where my Clarke ancestors lived in Carrownacarrick:<\/p>\n I have that George had 4 children, but they must have been born after the 1926 Census:<\/p>\n When I compare the 1911 with 1926, this is what I get:<\/p>\n Eliza dies in 1923.<\/p>\n Here is a record for James:<\/p>\n James enlists in Sydney, Australia for World War I. According to someone else’s tree at Ancestry, James dies in WWI in France.<\/p>\n I am not sure what happened to Robert William. Here is a different Robert William – perhaps named after the earlier Robert William.<\/p>\n I think that I have met Dorothy before in England. It is tricky to keep track of all these relationships. This Robert William is the grandson of Jane who was a brother of the elder Hubert.<\/p>\n I have that he married my great-grandfather’s youngest brother John Edward Frazer in 1917. I also have that she died in 1918.<\/p>\n John Edward had much tragedy in his life as his daughter dies at about age 1. These records were transcribed and sent to me from the Kilmactranny Church:<\/p>\n Add to this James McMaster who died in WWI in 1917:<\/p>\n I have built a McMaster DNA tree for DNA matches with many McMaster descendants:<\/p>\n I am not sure if this is up to date. From the yellow image above, I have matches with two descendants of George Ernest McMaster born 1894:<\/p>\n For my own ThruLines at Ancestry, I also match Karen and Matthew:<\/p>\n I did not put them on my McMaster DNA Chart because they are more closely related on my Frazer side.<\/p>\n I see my brother Jon has a match with Melissa:<\/p>\n This is a confusing one also as William McMaster who was my great-grandfather’s uncle, married my great-grandfather’s sister Catherine Clarke. That means that I cannot tell if I am related to Melissa on the Clarke or McMaster side!<\/p>\n What is interesting here is that William names Frances his daughter after his mother Fanny. Then Frances gives her daughter Joan as her middle name, the maiden name of her mother (Clarke).<\/p>\n I wonder if Robert Hyde was any relation to Douglas Hyde, the first President of The Republic of Ireland?<\/p>\n Here is the family in 1901 in Cashty, Baronscourt, Tyrone, Ireland:<\/p>\n So soon after their marriage. I have this note from a researcher friend in Ireland:<\/p>\n Aug 06, 1899\u00a0\u00a0 Edward Wynne Frazer (Widower), of Carrondargrey, son of Archie Frazer<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Emma Martha Thompson of Carrandargrey, daughter of George Thompson<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Witnesses:\u00a0 Robert Hyde, James McCormick (his mark).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Robert Hyde (from Cork) was recently appointed manager of the newly established Kilmactranny Dairy Co-operative with which the McMaster families were closely associated.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On June 29, 1899 he had married Frances Jane McMaster of Clarkwood who died the following year.<\/em><\/p>\n However, I do not think that the note is right concerning Frances Jane as she appears to be in the 1901 Census.<\/p>\n I wonder who the McMaster visitor was:<\/p>\n This must be Frances’ younger sister Margaret Lillie visiting. Here is Cashty:<\/p>\n Robert is listed as a Creamery Manager in 1901.<\/p>\n Here is the family in 1911, still on the move:<\/p>\n Frances Jane appears to rely heavily on her McMaster side for naming her sons (George Ernest, Hubert). Robert is still a creamery manager, now in St. Johnstown, County Donegal:<\/p>\n Robert and Frances stay put through 1926 and have another child:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nMargaret Lillie McMaster<\/h3>\n
