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.

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)
