Thanks for the heads up. I am a little closer to understanding how to navigate around now.May I ask what your relationship to Robert McCaw might be?
regards, Joe

On 11 Feb 1859 Hugh McCaw, father William, married Letitia Adams, father Robert, in  Finvoy Presbyterian Church, Ballymoney.
Hello there,
Since retiring recently, I have just started to look into family history and am so pleased to have at last found a link to my family tree!
My great grandmother was Mary Serah Mc Caw born to Hugh and Letitia  born on 16th April 1868. She married my great grandfather John Curry 27 Dec 1888 of Lismorrity in Trinity church Ballymoney and they had one son my grandfather John Curry born 10 Dec 1893. The family of 3 are in the 1901 census living there but by the 1911 census she had died though as yet i have not found a date of death or where she is buried! Lismorrity is where my grandfather who married Anna Mary Adams 22nd Aug 1919 lived and where my mum was born. she says that, as a result of the mum Mary Serah dying when he was a young boy, her dad was able to knit and sew , turn the heel of a sock, and had to cook and clean. Certainly his school record is VERY patchy as i have found that in PRONI office recently. Any more information on Hugh Letitia and Mary Serah  would be wonderful!

New members usually need 2/3 posts before they can send & receive PMs.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

How exciting is this! I cannot believe that through this forum I have found relatives! My mother, now 88 will be so pleased when i go to see her tomorrow, as she has had so little information over the years about her grandmother! If you would post up here any little snippet of info that I could pass on to her i would be grateful! That would keep me happy till we are allowed to PM! I would also be so interested to hear where you live! Reply soon third cousin!

My father was born in Glasgow and is the grandson ( on his mother's side) of Hugh McCaw born 18 oct 1872 who was Mary Serah's  youngest brother. Hugh had twin girls Letitia and Sarah and sarah was my dad's mum . Hugh Mcaw - Mary Serah's youngest brother- went to Canada in 1911 and sadly died a few months after arriving there with his third wife and only son james Mccaw- he left the girls behind and they were brought up in Glasgow by their uncle Robert Mccaw ( mary's oldest brother).
