John McGraw & Margarate Wilson - Leswalt 1820's
« on: Tuesday 10 June 08 11:44 BST (UK) »
Looking for any info on;

John McGraw (farm servant) & Margarate Wilson.

They had a son, John born approx 1826 in Leswalt.  We have been able to find a lot of info on John (apart from his birth cert) but nothing on his parents.

Any help would be wonderful.
