Ulster Pelan Discrete Trees

Date: [unknown]
Location: [unknown]
Surname/tag: ulster_pelan

A list of all the discrete Ulster Pelan trees from the project. There are at least 30 to be transferred to wikitree and some are being merged. While it may be obvious that some trees are linked, the evidence to support it needs to be there and this is being carefully re-examined. Having a parent with the same name and occupation is not always sufficient to prove siblings etc.

DNA groups shows autosomal links between groups on PELAN line. The standard of proof here is not very high and there is risk of a common ancestor not being on PELAN line but being close so this does need to be confirmed - with Y-DNA where possible.

Richard Bryson Pelan

We know of a number of Richard B. Pelans :

1. Richard B. Pelan (born ~1800 or earlier, Lisburn), chandler - appears in early trade directories
2. Richard Bryson Pelan (b. ~1836, Lisburn, death ???), son of George (chandler / soap-manufacturer)
3. Richard Bryson Pelan (b~1830?), father to Alexander, husband of Mary Ann
4. Richard Bryson Pelan (b .1888, Belfast), son of Alexander (compositor / printer)
5. Richard Bryson Pelan (b. 1936, Belfast), son of Alexander (plasterer)

Number 2 and 3 could be the same person. Number 1 is also believed to be Essy Pelan's father as, to have been her father, he must have been born ~1790 or earlier.
