Hi
Thanks for that, I had found on the second term in the militia he confirmed he was from Kilkeel. I do have the info regarding the family and I think from a different site someone had suggested a birth of a James but it was around 1852. I have been looking at the militia records of other fagans or Fegans from Kilkeel and found Owen, Edward, Patrick, Francis and James all signed up for various terms. Patrick was particularly interesting as he lists all the above brothers as next of kin and mother as Margaret. James is described as James younger and Edward as Elder. James second term he has his mother as next of kin and living in Workington but I am still searching to see if she died there, may have to take a trip to Record Office. Thank you for the continued help it is invaluable.
