    Default the first wife of Pooley Shuldham Henry

    Hi

    I'm struggling to find the name of the first wife of Rev Dr Pooley Shuldham Henry (1801-81) who is variously described as the first (?) (Presbyterian) principal/president of Queen's College, Belfast.

    As such I want her to be the mother of Elizabeth Jane Shuldham Henry (1835-74 - died as EJS Dunlop) and Thomas Shuldham Henry (1836-94)

    Someone on Rootsweb is suggesting the name Elizabeth McClean (1809-61) which may well be correct, its just that I can't find any online record to confirm this.

    I'm aware that in 1865 Rev Dr PS Henry married, secondly, Jessie Paton, but I'm not interested in her (sorry Jessie).

    I think the answer may lie in the Irish Dictionary of Biography but I can't seem to access that either.

    Any help would be very gratefully received.

    Do Thomas Henry & Francis Ann Hamilton Shuldham fit in your family?

    I have a Thomas Henry as father of Pooley, although this may not be correct

    Thomas Henry, born abt 1758, Randalstown, Antrim - died 1830
    married 1794 Elinor (Ellen) Shuldham (1776 - 17/1/1845)

    I have only really arrived at this family through Archibald Dunlop (1834-1902), the second husband of Elizabeth Jane Shuldham Henry (1835 - 26/5/1874)
