Hi All
In my friends ancestry she has a William Gwynne whose wife Matilda
is a niece of the above person.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/061s/
Does anyone have any family members noted in the will in their lineage.
I have viewed all the references at the County Tyrone Web Site.
T.I.A.
Sandy

I think Aghadowey you have just made mine and Rockford and more especially
my friends Christmas arrive early.
Thank you so much for all the information you have listed.
I did have links to the Jamaica site so found him noted with his slaves etc.
I had also found him drowning, which meant someone else's theory that
he was not as old as I had presumed him to be you have now clarified as he was.
Could you please give me the links to the information other than Co.Tyrone where
you have found the entries listed.
Thanks you it is greatly appreciated.
Sandy

The information from the Sentinel is not online as far as I know and Googling 'Londonderry Sentinel' will get newspaper's website not archival material.

Oh just for reference and Rockford this is the piece I found referring to
James death.
October 29th 1840
James Sproule, Esq., late of Strabane, was drowned at Jamaica last August,
when preparing to return to Ireland, after thirty six years absence.
Obviously Aghadoweys is much more informative.

It seems as though the link to Ireland has now been full-filled.
Therefore I will lock and write Completed with thanks.
