Research Notes
Birth
- Birth year may be misattributed to this fella who died in Ireland. “Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes 1845–1958,” Index. FamilySearch, Salt Lake City, Utah. General Register Office. "Quarterly Returns of Births in Ireland with Index to Births." Belfast, Ireland.[1]
The Gaston family look to be from Bellymena. The gentleman above could be a cousin or some other relation. They were Presbyterian. The assertion that they were from Carrickfergus is probably tied to the port from which they sailed to North America.
