Blair in leitrim ireland
« on: Friday 25 May 07 23:03 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help with this Family.
William Blair and Maragert Craig(Cregg)
Family John Blair 1858
and possibly maragert and catherine. I believe there could have been more of this family.
The Griffiths shows a william Blair in Boihy Drumease Leitrim.Could this be the same William??
I have found a Catherine born 16.06.1872 in Leitrim parents William Blair and Margaret Craig and a Margaret born in Drumahaire who's parents were William Blair and Margaret Cregg.

Any info appreciated
Thanks

Liz,

I would have thought it likely that the William Blair you found in Griffiths is the right man. He is certainly the only William Blair that Griffiths lists in the county.

Other Blairs who were tenants of the same landlord (George Lane Fox) were James, Jane, Margaret and George.

According to the 1901 Census, there are Blairs still living at Boihy and the head of the household is Anne (70) Widow. She could be the widow of James Blair who also lived in the townland of Boihy according to Griffiths.

For census details see www.leitrim-roscommon.com
