Antrim / Re: McNeice - Morton - Shaw
« on: Saturday 11 March 17 19:21 GMT (UK) »
I have lots of information on McNeice (or McNeese) as my mother-in-law (maiden name McNeice) has a Conway McNeice in her family tree. He was her great grand father. His son James married twice and Conway is identified as a labourer on the first marriage certificate but as a porter on the second one. Most of the Conways we have identified come from Ballinderry/Glenavey but there is one from Stiles in Antrim and another from Doagh. We think my mother in law is related to the one who married Anne and had five children.

I have discovered that Edward moved to Canada (Toronto) in 1957 with his wife and son. He worked in the gold mines. He later moved to Florida - I do not know when - but my mother had a contact for him in an old address book which I assumed was a permanent address. I shall have to wait until I get back from my holiday and look it up and put in a post to you.
Thanks, Lisa.
Thanks, Lisa.

Thanks. I couldn't work that one out! I shall keep trying to find out Edward's death. It is around 1990 I think.

Thank you, mwylie and Sandra for the information. It's been a while since I posted re Edward but I am grateful for your help, although I have found out quite a bit about him over the past two years especially as GRONI are now online. Sorry, but what is SSDI, please?

Antrim / Re: Fresh pair of eyes please. Looking for a death
« on: Wednesday 08 February 17 06:06 GMT (UK) »
'Most present day Graham's in Ireland stem from an extended family of that name who settled in White Park County Antrim in the early 1600's having been banished as Reivers (Outlaws) from Scotland where they suffered from persecution and certain death as a law had been passed that anyone by the name of Graham were to be hanged summarily. Along with the Graham's came their many "Sept's", that is families of which the mother was a Graham female. It is said that some reversed their name to Maharg to escape scrutiny.The original Graham's Fort at Glenwherry is still in existence to this day and is marked on ordance maps. It is sited on the farm ground of a present day Graham, John. These Grahams are descendants of the Graeme who commanded the armies of Fergus II in 404 AD. and until their departure from Scotland they were known as The Graham's of the Borders.'
I got this from Joe Graham's website. It may help CELL if not maybe someone else looking for Grahams. Also see Graeme and Gramus.
All the best. Heather

This may help. Did you know that a lot of Grahams who came from Scotland changed their name when they got to Ireland to MAHARG. This is 'Graham' spelt backwards! Try looking for Maharg or Meharg.
