Hello all,
I'm posting from Australia. Thomas McIlroy D 1888, married to Margaret Simpson d 1867 were my 3rd great grandparents. I descended via their son William McIlroy B 1832 - d 1877. I am interested in swapping any information on these people and their families. I have a few old photos from Northern Ireland, Canada and many from Australia that are not identified and I am trying to add names to these McIlroy (and possibly other related families) photos.
Cheers

Welcome to Rootschat. I have files (hundreds of pages) on the McIlroys of Inchadoghill but not sure if we've been in touch before. The photos would be very interesting and I might be able to identify some. Once you've made 3 posts we can swap email addresses if you want to exchange information.

Hi aghadowey,
Thanks for the welcome, to my knowledge we haven't been in contact previously. It would be great to swap information and maybe identify some of the photos that I have.

McIlroy ....Early 1800's....please !

I have tracked my GF X 5 back to Londonderry....

His name Matthew McElroy married Alice ?
Also listed as McAlroy & Mcilroy......Mathew & Alicia ?

They left aboard Free passage immigration vessel "Adam lodge" leaving Londonderry to Sydney Australia arriving July 1837.
Matthew aged 30, Trade a Cooper.
They had 3 Children on board, their eldest son Matthew aged 14 months died the day of their arrival.
Later they had two boys born in Sydney ...John 1841 & Charles 1843.

There is a strong Link to the 1st names given to subsequent children ....Charles & also Augustus.

Maybe Alice's Father was an Augustus ??

Have you got any family Tree connection of this period ?

Best Regards

John McElroy

Wrong McIlroy family, wrong county and possibly wrong religion as well. Best to stick to the other topic-
