Coming back to the "Harwoods/Waringstown" heading of this thread, I have something which may be of interest. It's taken me a while to go back through my files as I was distracted by wanting to find a good website for family history - I've now settled on MyHeritage.com and while I'm not sure what you can see when unregistered I spend the last while putting up my tree at http://adamsons.myheritage.com
Some time ago Ronnie Harwood faxed me with notes about his history and a relationship to the local Adamsons. KatC you may have seen this in another form?
It's kind of hard to read in parts, but other parts are clear.
For example the Great Grandfather (Paternal) James McCartney married Mary Gracey brn Scotland died age 84.
(There is a record in the Rosalind Davies site as follows "Miss Mary GRACEY, Donaghcloney, married James McCartney 2 May 1856 at Magheralin Church of Ireand; mother of Mary b. 1871 (regd. Waringstown).")
Great Grandfather (Maternal) Moore - Unknown Data (sic) married Agnes Anna Moore (nee Adamson) died Waringstown.
That would be Joshua Moore.
Ronnie lists his mother as Agnes Anna McCartney born 1899 Waringstown Co Down Northern Island.
The part marked "Father" is one of the spots where I have trouble deciphering the handwriting and where I'm sure others would help because of their knowledge, it seems to be "George something Farrell brn something 14 1892 died JAN something 1936 brn Bainbridge Co Down".
Ronnie lists aunts and uncles.
I'm not sure how Farrell is the father of Ronnie when his mother is listed as a McCartney but that's because I'm missing something in all the valuable information supplied by Ronnie.
If you haven't heard this before from Ronnie I can post the images of the fax, and if we wish to decipher together to get a complete transcription I can set up a wiki page with access for people to edit the details until we get it all clear. Let me know if that is of interest.
Ronnie's address on the fax is (*)
I've attached a reduced quality image of one page (because of file size upload limitations) of the of the fax. Reducing the two to fit the upload made them too hard to read. I can send both full quality to those interested or create the wiki and post them there as I mentioned above.
