Summarising the subsequent entries, I have what follows below. Can everyone please confirm I have the details correct?
Carolyn Devine submitted: THOMAS DOUGLAS1, a tailor, son of OWEN1 DOUGLAS, a master tailor. Married ANNIE McCANN in June 1878 at Drumcree, Portadown and moved to Belfast

where the following children were born between 1881 and 1892: Thomas2, John Joseph, Mary Ann, Francis and triplets Michael. Patrick and Bridget. There was also a child

called Owen, born in Portadown (or Drumcree?) before 1881.

THOMAS DOUGLAS1 had brothers called Eugine, Jimmy, John and sisters called Lucy, Mary, Sarah Anne, Kitty, and Peggy

Michelle Martin, born circ 1964, is the daughter of Catherine Fox Douglas (Kitty) and grand-daughter of Thomas Douglas (Born circa 1933?) himself the son of Owen and

Kitty, and his wife, Maggie. Thomas married Margaret Flemming and they had three children, Agnes in 1933 and twins Kitty and Margaret. Is this Owen the one born in

Portadown before 1881?

Carolyn Devine's grandmother's (Mary Ann Douglas?) oldest brother Owen was born in Portadown and was the son of Thomas Douglas, married to Annie McCann.

Carolyn Devine's father's first cousin was Eugene Terence, who had a son Eamon Douglas

Thomas Douglas1 and Annie McCann married at Drumcree and had Owen, then they moved to Belfast where Cathrine Devine's grandmother (Mary Ann Douglas?) and a

number of others were born - including triplets who were baptised sub conditione so don't know if they survived. They later moved back to Portadown.

M. Worth is the granddaughter of Sarah Ann Douglas. (Is Sarah Ann sister to THOMAS DOUGLAS1?) M. Worth's mother was Harriet (maiden name Weir) Mulholland. She

refers to Auntie Maggie and Uncle Tommy. M. Worth's uncle Eamon is a builder in Portadown

S.F.Shanks is child of Denise (born circa 1953) and Danny Shanks and grandchild of Eugene and Frances (Denise's parents)...Eamon is Denise's brother and S.F.Shanks'

godfather. Kitty is her mother's aunt, her grandmother's (Sarah Ann Weir nee Douglas) sister. Denise's full name is Catherine Denise, after her aunt Kitty

S.F.Shanks: Eugene's father was called Owen1. Eugene was Eamon's father too. I wonder was Owen known as Owen Eugene?

Sinews Shanks is married to S.F.Shanks' brother, Peadar. Her mother was a Mulholland. Sinead's mother (Derdrie) is S.F.Shanks' first cousin. Her father and Sinead's father

are brothers. Presumably Sinews and Sinead are the same person?

S.F.Shanks' mother Denise and M. Worth's mother Harriet are 1st cousins

S.F.Shanks' Mother's Grandfather is Eugene (died circa 2003) and M. Worth's mother's grandmother was Sarah Anne. Sarah Ann married a Weir and their children were

Stella, Harriet, Nancy, Joey, Eugene and Rita.
