Hi,
   From the PRONI Calendar of Wills:- "McPeake Bernard of Derrygarve Castledawson county Londonderry farmer died 3 February 1949 Probate Londonderry 14 February to Andrew Reid farmer. Effects £253 15s"
   He may be a descendant.

As Maccahc is on the case I will remain in the background for the moment. He & I share a common ancestry in the line McPeak, McGrogan, Davit, McKerry.

Hi,

Andrew Reid is almost assuredly my 2x great grand-uncle who married Nellie McPeake.  Both are buried at Atrea parish.
Was Nellie Bernard's daughter?  There are living Reids in both Derrygarve and Randallstown who would be grandsons of Bernard if that were the case. Andrew was the youngest of many Reids and the only one to remain in Ireland as of the 1930s.

Happy hunting,
Mike Ousey
