James McAllister
« on: Friday 12 September 14 04:13 BST (UK) »
I am looking for the parents of James McAllister (1869 - 1901) who was married to Agnes McVeigh in 1888.  Any information would be appreciated.

Just for the information of others, the 1901 census says he was 32 and born County Antrim:

The burial record corroborates the age:

The search index of the Ulster Historical Foundation website says his father was also called James.
