Re: Looking for LANGTRY, HALL, BINGHAM, BERNSLY/BINSLEY, CORDNER, GAW, JENKINSON, McGRATH

Hello Todd
I see on you have McGraths in your family tree.
You wouldn,t have a George in there would you?
I am looking for descendaants of my ggfather George McGrath, born abt 1843.
Married my ggmother RoseMary McCleary 1861 in my hometown Newburgh New York.
Found one George McGrath in griffiths valuation, living in Lurgan on castle lane 1864.This wouldn,t have been my ggfather as he was killed in the civil war here in the USA in July of 1864.
Don,t know what his religion was, but my father was Presbyterian.
Let me know if this makes any sense.
George

Re: McGRATH

Hi George

Sorry, no, I don't know the parents or siblings in that line. I believe the marriage was in Glenavy (written as Glenavie on the d cert) and have written to the parish church there but no response as yet.

I have found Binghams in Lurgan from an old directory. They were Shoemakers which is the line my great great grandparents were in. Next time I have access to the directory I'll see who the proprietor was.

I'll let you know if I find out anything about her parents from the curch records.

Good luck in your hunt.

Regards


Todd
