Hi Huggy

Reading last night a book called "Sentry Hill" about the McKinney family in Ballyveasey Carnmoney came across a photograph of a old man called Joshua Wells  a jorneyman tailor 1895 ,he travelled around making clothes for the men folk.

Might not help you ,only in the fact that someone with the same name was in the nearby area.

Famlies can carry names down the generations.

Hi Hudggy
I have tried several times to post photos on board for you without success so I have given up and sent them to your e-mail address! Let me know if they don't arrive and I retry! The book is fascinating - well worth a read.

We went to Ireland in July and went on the tour of Sentry Hill - I want to go back - it was a step back in time - absolutely brilliant!!

Hi Steve,
I have done more searhing for Joshua Wells as the one in the photo is not the one I am searching for. I found this info on LDS Search Joshua Wells born
1841 Carnmoney parents Joshua Wells born 1815 Carnmoney Married Elizabeth Finney  18 MAY 1840   Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland i take it that he is the Joshua in the photo  born in the same place as the photo.
So therefor he is not the son of my 3rd great grandfather but could still be related in someway.

Thanks again for all your help
