Our ancestor Mary Stevely Woods was born at Newtownards, Down in 1860, to William Woods and Eliza McAlpin. We know that her parents were married at Templecorran Parish:
This is most likely the sister to our Eliza McAlpin, and it follows that Eliza named her daughter Mary Stevely Woods after her sister, whose married name was Mary Ann Stevely.
Research on the McAlpin and Stevely families of Templecorran has been sparse, however, I been able to find the following additional marriage records:
- William Woods, son of John Woods (farmer) and Eliza McAlpin, daughter of Edward McAlpin (farmer) were married on 9 January 1852 at Templecorran, Antrim, Ireland.
- Mary Ann McAlpin, daughter of Edward McAlpin, married 5 July 1847, to Edward Stevely, son of John Stevely.
