The Descendants of Trevor
Wb7 Karen's Ancestors
Researcher: Karen
This tree was compiled by Karen from Australia. Karen can be linked to 24 Titteringtons in this tree, although the links can at times be quite complex.
Her 3rd Great Grandfather, William McCarthy, was born in 1813 in Dromore Parish and married Dorothea (aka Dolly) Titterington, of Moira Parish in 1836. It is believed by the Researchers, that John Titterington and Mary Wolfendon are likely to have been Dorothea’s parents. In 1860, William and Dolly had a son named Andrew McCarthy, (Karen's 2nd Great Grandfather) at Hillsborough. Andrew went on to marry Isabella Gregg in 1882. Isabella’s mother’s maiden name was Sarah Titterington and she was a daughter of William Titterington and Mary Wilkinson. Sarah’s husband was William Gregg who was the son of James Gregg, born 1800.
​
Karen also has a Great Aunt Eliza Titterington, who never married. In 1901, Eliza was recorded as an aunt, and was living with Joseph McCarthy and his wife, Mary Jane Gregg. Joseph's mother was Dorothea Titterington. Mary Jane's mother was Sarah Titterington. The death certificate for Sarah proves that Eliza was Sarah's sister and therefore aunt to Mary Jane.

Wb8 John Titterington b. 1820 of Ballyknock and Alice Turner
Researcher: Bob C
Bob believes that his tree originates in Moira and then migrated to Glasgow in Scotland. It comprises 78 people over five generations. The top of the tree is John Titterington who is married to Alice Turner. We do not have any dates for either of them, but we do know that they had a son Alexander and possibly a daughter Jane. It is strange that there is evidence for only two children and poses the question why? There appears to be no definitive evidence that the two children were siblings. However, on each of their marriage records they claim that their father was John Titterington, Labourer. Could there have been more than one John the Labourer, in the Ballyknock area. This may be a possibility.
John appears in the Valuations of 1864 and resides in Ballyknock. The value of his house is 10/- which he leases from Thomas G Scandrett. In 1887 he was recorded as a Hawthorn Weaver.
John and Alice’s son Alexander was born in Ballyknock in 1841 and died in August 1887 in Glasgow. He was a labourer. He married Mary Anne McAleenen in Ireland in about 1851 but died in Glasgow in 1909. Mary Anne was the daughter of Henry McAleanan and Esther McGarry. It should be noted that the McGarry name appears in other Titterington trees. Alexander and Mary Anne had several children and it is from this branch that Bob is descended. Records suggest that they also had two sons named John Titterington, both born in Glasgow, one in September 1871 and the second born in September 1873. There is no information regarding dates of deaths or possible marriages. Another of Alexander’s children, Alice was the victim of a tramcar accident in Glasgow. Having been struck by a tramcar, she must have been taken to the Police station where, whilst waiting for medical attention, she died.
​
Jane was born about 1843 in Ballyknock. She married Alexander Harvey and they had six children. The eldest, John was born in 1866. It is believed that John went to America at the age of 16 and initially lived with an Uncle James. James lived in Elgin, Wabasha and there is evidence that this is the area where John lived. This seriously challenges whether or not Alexander Titterington and Jane Titterington were siblings.
​
Wb9 James b. 1796 and Mary Gilligan
James Titterington is a Farmer, at the top of the tree, married to Mary Gilligan. Ros Davies records that he possibly came from Finvoy, but I think it is more likely that the family came from Feney. Feney was a townland between Clare in Moira and Magheralin. These areas feature in other Titterington branches. The birthplace of his children, is given as Hillsborough.
There are no parents recorded here for Mary Gilligan. However, there is an IGI record and also in Kay’s research, for the marriage of William Titterington to Elizabeth Gilligan on 30 December, 1837 in Hillsborough. Could Mary and Elizabeth have been related?
​
Kay’s research also provides evidence for the baptism of their daughter Catherine in 1827. Ros Davies records James and Mary (Maria) Hillsborough, of Ballykeel-Artifinny; a carman then farmer ; parents of John bapt. 3 April 1831 and Whitfield bapt. 24 Nov 1833 and Davis bapt 15 Mar 1835 at Hillsboro COI.
There is a letter on this website written by James to his brother Davis and it should be noted that Whitfield is not mentioned in James’s letter. Perhaps he was no longer alive?
​
Evidence suggests that John worked as a Lighterman, transporting coal along the canals in a ‘Lighter’ boat. He was also accused of Larceny, but the case was not proved. It is believed that he died at sea, and his widow Sarah, emigrated with her children to America where she was reported to be the widow of Captain Titterington.
​
The letter from James to Davis gives us a brief, but intimate insight to the family. Davis was a Weaver and then an Army Sergeant. His descendants were recorded in Stockton, Workington, Northumberland, Whitley Bay and Surrey. Various army papers relating to Davis are available.
​
Dianne and Trayce are descended from this branch and we are indebted to them for their research. Trayce, in particular, has been a determined and proactive researcher, providing considerable factual data to support this area of research.
The Wilson Family
​
In this area of the wider Titterington Family, there are two men who are each married to a Wilson female. Namely, Thomas Titterington b. 1826 was married to Martha Wilson and John Titterington, b. 1831 was married to Sarah Wilson. Trevor and John have a common ancestors in Trevor Titterington and Mary Davis, making them 3rd to 4th cousins. Sarah and Martha were born in Tamlaght, County Londonderry and the children of James Wilson. IGI records the marriage of James Wilson b. c. 1812 to Mary Clark.
​
It is also of interest, that in branch Wa7, Mary Anne, b. 1832 and daughter of John Titterington and Mary Wolfendon, was a widow named Mary Anne Clarke when she married Arthur Farmer in 1859.
