I came upon it the other day.

Yes, my Grandfather and your Grandmother were indeed brother and sister. I will just go and send you some information by e-mail. I don’t know what you already have.

I also know Charlie Davidson well too! I am a member of Ballycrochan Baptist Church in Bangor.

Hi Valerie

Well, hello there cousin! Let’s see – your Grandfather would then be my Grandmother’s sister? Am I reading that right? That would make our parents cousins and us 2nd cousins. Unless I missed a generation there somehow, then we would be second cousins once removed, I think! All this genealogical stuff is quite confusing!

I have never been ‘overseas’, but my brother and sister were over last summer and went to a service at the church in Newtownards. I hope to have the opportunity some day.

And yes, I would very much like to receive any info you might have. You can send it to pastor AT gbcvic DOT org

Thanks very much and thanks for the contact.

Maranatha!

Thomas Watters Doggart is also my Great great Grandfather. His son David Hutchinson was my Grandfather. I am also a Baptist and live about 7 miles from Newtownards. I have a lot of info on the family including photos of Thomas Watters and family headstone and also his fathers. I have a copy of his obituary if you would like to have them I can e-mail them to you.
Regards
Valerie

Hey, thanks for checking in. I was thrilled to find the website for the Newtownards Baptist Church and to see that it remains a gospel preaching church. Someday I hope that I will be able to make it across the pond to visit the places my forebears came from, including Newtownards. I am only 50, so Lord willing there is still time!

Regards,

As the website editor for their church in Newtownards, Northern Ireland, I am pleased to be able to add it to the historical page on our website http://www.newtownardsbaptistchurch.co.uk

If I come into possession of any other items/photos I will copy them to Brendan
