Mary Ann McPeake

Dear Candie10

Give me some time and I will give you plenty of information on your distant relations in Australia - the McPeake descendants through the marriage of Catherine McPeake to Christopher Graham.
It will be easier if we can make direct contact  somehow.

Dear Candie10

I think that I have identified Holly Hill.
See message from Magherafelt District Council

Holy Hill is in the Magherafelt District Council area. It is off the main Gulladuff Road, Bellaghy.  The laneway is opposite Postal No. 125 Gulladuff Road, Bellaghy. BT45 8LT.  At the far end of this laneway there are a cluster of houses numbered from 126 - 138 Gulladuff Road, Bellaghy. BT45 8LT.  This area is known as Holly Hill.

I still have not pin pointed the locality on any map.

If you use a site like GoogleEarth or Google Maps just type in one of the addresses and you should be able to see a map of the area.

Dear Mac2468

Many thanks for the additional information.
The death certificate for Jane McPeake, nee McCord, states that she was married at Macaquin or more likely Macosquin in County Derry.
This is an error.
A couple of questions for you.
Do you have any idea why the name Macaquin or Macosquin would have been used?
Do you know if there is a place near Holly Hill with a similar name?
Secondly, does your father have an idea why William McPeake and Jane and children would have migrated to South Australia in 1878?

Wow!  And wow again!  This is just brilliant.  I'm also researching Henry McPeake and Mary Ann McPeake (my grandson's ancestors) and this chain of emails is just wonderful, putting together so many lost threads.  I live in Perth West Australia so I'll have a bash at sending a personal message to Candie10 and see if she's still watching this site.  For future records - for anyone else who happens across this site and needs to know - Mary Ann McPeake married William Henry Jeffery in Perth in 1876, only one year after she had migrated to WA.

Regards and thanks to all gave unstintingly of their time and effort!
Ann
