Not much has moved in my brick wall since my first posting in 2013

I am still trying to walk...forward & backwards on my Walkers & Telfords prior to their shift to Scotland

Here is what I know..

Hugh Walker married Ellen (Helen) Keillin(?) at Cullybackey Presbyterian sometime prior to 1845

Between 1845 - 1847, they brought into this world Helen Walker

Helen Walker Married Robert Telford at Cullybackey Presbyterian on 31 October 1864

Based on information gleaned from Robert's death certificate, Robert's parents were Edward Telford & Ann McCoudry(?)... Robert was born in Fenagh, Co Antrim in or about 1837

Hugh witnessed the marriage...yet passed soon after

Robert & Helen had three children whilst in Ballymena: Elspy (28 July 1865), Hannah (11 May 1867) & Martha (26 August 1869)

They then emigrated to Scotland where they settled in Duntocher, Dumbartonshire, Scotland.. And gave birth to three children: Hugh (18 Jun 1873), Helen (1875), & Robert (1876)

John James came along in 1881 in Whiteinch, Lanarkshire, Scotland

My Great Grandmother, Annie, came along 28 SEP 1883 in Milton, Glasgow, Scotland... She would go on to marry William Devine

and her sister, Agnes came along 27 OCT 1886 in Partick, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland

There is plenty of documentation once in Scotland...but they all seem to disappear into the mist when we look to the Irish side of things
