Hi Kia,

getting a chance to look at some of the extra information you provided and am pretty amazed. Although as I am entering it I noticed one thing.


Catherine's father, Robert MACKEY/MACKAY (of Kesh) married Catherine AMRSTRONG (of Letterkeen) 29 Sep 1839 in Magheraculmoney.
I have 6 children for them (this may be incomplete):
1840 William
1842 John
16 May 1845 Catherine
22 Apr 1848 Thomas
09 Nov 1850 George
27 Jun 1855 Robert
"27 May 1887 Francis George"


In my records I have Francis George as one of Thomas and Sarah's children, which would fit the date much better too (Robert McKey would have been 82 in 1887 based on the date of baptism you supplied  :))

I have no idea how Francis George ended up in my post as being son of Robert MACKEY & Catherine :o He should have been on the list above that as son of Henry IRVINE & Catherine.

From George Armstrong's transcription of PRONI. MIC/1/37/1 & MIC/1/37/2
Born: 27/5/1887 Bapt: 24/7/1887 Name: Francis George Father: Henry Surname: IRVINE Mother: Catherine Surname: not listed Residence: Letterkeen Occupation: Blacksmith Recorded By: James Blair Annesley

Apologies for the gremlins in my typing!

Thanks for all those extra details Kia they have given me new hope.

Is there any chance you have any more details about Henry Irvine?
Apart from his marriage and children I am having lots of trouble finding out anything about when/where he was born and who his parents were. I have the name Robert but nothing else.

Henry IRVINE bp 09 Oct 1842 (birth given as 09 Jul 1842) son of Robert IRVINE & Mary ELLIS bp Drumkeeran but resident in Dooraa.

I have 2 other children for them - both bp Drumkeeran but resident in Dooraa:
Mary Jane b.28 Jul 1837 bp. 03 Sep 1837
Ann b.22 Jul 1844 bp.28 Jul 1844

Here's the kicker - I found this info before I keep source notes (I used to think "oh, I'll remember where I found that" - I don't - that was a big lesson to learn).
I'm confident the info is correct, but I can not pass the source on to you - apologies.
However, this should narrow down your search so that you can source it yourself.

Robert IRVINE married Mary ELLIS 23 Sep 1829 in Tubrid Chruch, Kesh - that's from transcription of PRONI. MIC/1/37/1 & MIC/1/37/2 by Graham Armstrong.
