Rasharkin Directory 1912

• new-17sep-e8ed725c038b — McCarnagh-4 represents Agnes, born about 1837 at Gortereghy, daughter of John McCarnagh and Mary Gormley in 1851. Agnes/Nancy and McCarnagh/McCaughern are compatible forms; an age of about 75 in 1912 is possible. No cited biography supplies a death or contradictory publican household. This is a weak compatible candidate, not proof of occupational identity. McCarnagh-4

• Nancy was born in 1835 and died in 1849, before 1912.

== Biography ==

The 1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory lists Nancy McCaughern as a publican among the inhabitants of Rasharkin. It is a useful later record for separating McCaughern women in the locality, but it must not be conflated with Nancy Glasgow, with the Nancy McCaughern named on the James McCaughern memorial, or with any other McCaughern profile without an address, age or family record.<ref>1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory, Rasharkin; https://lennonwylie.co.uk/PT191214.htm; .

McCarnagh-4 represents Agnes, born about 1837 at Gortereghy, daughter of John McCarnagh and Mary Gormley in 1851. Agnes/Nancy and McCarnagh/McCaughern are compatible forms; an age of about 75 in 1912 is possible. No cited biography supplies a death or contradictory publican household. This is a weak compatible candidate, not proof of occupational identity.

Possible profile identities: [[McCarnagh-4]].

Next research: Inspect the named original record and compare dated family evidence; retained candidates remain unproved.

• new-17sep-e880bb3e41ac — The original 1901 Gortereghy return describes Thomas Ross, 34, as farmer and flax miller, with Scotland-born wife Mary Jane and children. This strongly supports the 1912 mill-owner occurrence. The 1911 household reports 24 years of marriage. Ross-13124 remains compatible, with differing reported census ages. Ross-29596 has severe chronology tension if his cited 1874 birth is correct: he would be about 12 at marriage and 11 when Jeannie was born. The birth image returned HTTP 403, so this remains a conditional conflict rather than a fresh original-based exclusion. Ross-25888 has a separate Gransha/Ann Jane family; Ross-29600 is Robert T Ross, who died in 1909. Ross-13124, Ross-29596

The 1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory lists Thomas Ross as a mill owner at Gortreighy in the neighbourhood inhabitants section for Rasharkin. It adds a named economic and geographic associate in the townland where the Glasgow family lived in the earlier baptism period, but it does not establish any relationship to Alexander Glasgow or the McCaughan/Elder families.<ref>1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory, Rasharkin; https://lennonwylie.co.uk/PT191214.htm; .

The original 1901 Gortereghy return describes Thomas Ross, 34, as farmer and flax miller, with Scotland-born wife Mary Jane and six children. This supplies an occupation bridge to the 1912 mill-owner directory entry; the 1911 return records 24 years of marriage and seven surviving children. Ross-13124 remains compatible; the reported census ages differ.<ref>1901 Gortereghy, Thomas Ross household; https://api-census.nationalarchives.ie/census/image/nai000298459.pdf; Form A; printed house 38; rows 1–8; 1911 Gortereghy, Thomas Ross household; https://api-census.nationalarchives.ie/census/image/nai001390150.pdf; Form A; official index house 34; rows 1–8.

The 1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory lists Peter McCaughern as a grocer and farmer among the inhabitants of Rasharkin. It may be relevant to the later Rasharkin McCaughern probate network, but the directory gives no age, address or family relationship, so this Peter must not be merged with the Peter McCaughern of the 1916 Dreen probate cluster without further evidence.<ref>1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory, Rasharkin; https://lennonwylie.co.uk/PT191214.htm; .

== Biography ==

The 1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory lists Robert McCaughern, farmer, Lisnagaver in the neighbourhood section for Rasharkin. It is a useful later locality lead because Lisnagaver is the Glasgow family's documented townland and the directory places a McCaughern farmer there after the 1851 and 1901–1911 census evidence.<ref>1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory, Rasharkin; https://lennonwylie.co.uk/PT191214.htm; . It does not identify Robert's age, parents or relationship to Mary Glasgow, and it must not be merged with any other Robert McCaughern without the underlying valuation, census or civil records.</ref>

The original 1911 Lisnagaver return identifies Robert McCaughern, 54, farmer, with wife Mary Anne, 58; married 28 years, both Antrim-born Church of Ireland.

The 1912 Belfast and Ulster Directory lists John Wallace as a teacher at Lisnagaver in the neighbourhood inhabitants section for Rasharkin.
