Cunninghams of Ardstraw

[kaperc]

I am researching Cunninghams in Ardstraw, Co. Tyrone, more specifically Samuel and Molly who are buried in Old Ardstraw Cemetery died 1872 and 1886 respectively.  Does anyone have any information about this family?

Best regards

The name Cunningham is used as a forename throughout my Forsythe and McElrea families, who lived in Cappagh Parish and I have long thought it might be a family name passed down. If you find any links to those families, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks!

    Hi

   I saw the discussion about Ardstraw and thought I'd ask about my GG Grandparents.

 All I know is James Sproule (1838) married Sarah Jane Ritchie (?) April 6, 1871 at Ardstraw Presbyterian Church.  (from Emerald Ancestors). 

His father may have been John Sproule, wife Elizabeth. But I haven't found out anything about Sarah Ritchie - other than possible death 17 April 1921.

Any leads would be appreciated!  Thanks...

Another site shows
James 22 from Evish and
Sarah Jane 22 from Killen
Both fathers named John
mothers' names not given

A Margaret RITCHIE of Killen (father John) also married in 1871 but this could be coincidence

Thank you! 

I'm curious, which site....?

I'm finding that ones needs to look on as many sites as you can find - part of the fun!

                  He married Agnes BUCHANNAN Mar 30 1905

Sep 08 1876 Eliza on 1901 census - died possibly 1910 LINK

May 15 1879 Maggie on 1911 census
                    Margaret SPRAULE m George PARK - LINK to civil reference
                    Two children born in Glasgow

1882 Matilda Jane on 1901 and 1911 census
          She married John BOGGS Apr 01 1918
          at least one child born Dec 28 1921

Death in 1921 of Sarah SPROULE was on April 12 1921 from what I can see and the informant was her daughter Matilda Jane BOGGS - address at time was Legfordum which would tie in
