Art Magennis born 1919 in Ardglass..look up please
« on: Sunday 09 July 17 16:07 BST (UK) »
Hello
Please can anyone give any information on Art Magennis born 1919 in Ardglass county down. I am really interested to know if/ when he married, also his family names.

I know he lived in Newbridge kildare and Blackrock Dublin. He was a trooper with the motor squadron and ended up being high up in the army.
Also how close is Ardglass to Newry and County Tyrone please?
Many thanks

Online births (GRONI & Irish Genealogy) have a 100 yr limit so only up to (at the moment 1915).

This might be the person you are asking about-

Thank you for the information. Even DNA matches aren't making this search any easier.

Blake, John- tresario who started this topic back in 2017 hasn't logged in since 2020 and has turned off notifications from Rootschat. In 2018 they asked for all their topics to be removed (this doesn't happen since information posted may later be useful or of interest to others).
Let us know if you would like help tracing your family - probably be to start a new topic rather than continuing on this thread.  :)
