Niblock Family Search Request
I wonder whether you can help me?
I am currently investigating my wife's family history:
My wife was born Sheila Niblock in 1946 in Bangor, Co Down.
Her father was Robert Niblock, who was born on The Hill in Groomsport in 1911.
He was the second youngest of 9 children, the others being Jim [1895] Alex [1897] William [Billy] [1899] Maryanna [1900] Marion [Mamie] [1904] John [Jack] [1906] Margaret [Maggie] [1909] and Kay [Kitty] 1911]I believe there was also an adopted son Robert [Bob] Dunbar who I think was born about 1891I believe that my father-in-law, Robert [Bob] Niblock was a bus driver in and around Bangor and Newtownards before moving with his wife and children to live in England in about 1951. The family settled and still live in Shropshire. Bob died many years ago, but his widow, my mother-in-law, formerly Margaret Graham from Newtownards, is still alive and aged 91.We are trying to establish as much information as we can about the family and life as it was in Groomsport in the eighteen and early to mid 1900's.My wife's grandfather, Alexander [Alex or possibly Sandy] Niblock was born in Groomsport in about 1870. He married Maggie McIlwrath in 1893 and was a sailor/fisherman, as was his father Robert Niblock, who we think was born about 1825 and married Jane Heyburn in 1849.It was rumored in the family that Alexander Niblock died either 'at sea' or in Scotland and we have only just recently discovered that he was actually found dead on the arrival of a train in Glasgow Central Station in July 1913 due to peritonitis, aged just 43. We would love to know more about his life and the circumstances of his death. Sheila and I had the pleasure of visiting your area about 6 years ago.We walked up The Hill, where Sheila remembers visiting her grandmother and her father's brothers and sisters on family holidays - particularly William [Billy] who lived in a house just before the Hill cottages, and Margaret, who married Alex Clegg.Looking at photographs on the Groomsport website www.covebay.net, we saw on a photograph of the Orange Lodge, Springwell Road, Sheila's two cousins Brian and Joe Clegg.If you have any information on our Niblock Family, or are related, we would like to hear from you
Thanks
