I have found some loose connections to this family that perhaps connect to my family that I am exploring.

There was a Margaret born to them in 1744. John may have had a brother, Alexander, who was married to an Ann Carmichael.
Are you a descendant of these McDonald's?

Very interesting. I see the McVurich's claim descent from the Irish bardic family Ó Dálaigh, which is today the name Daly. I descend from Daly's, and in my hunt for them, it is amazing how many have achieved great success in what you would call bardic areas. Makes me think there is a genetic component to certain talents.
I remember reading somewhere that Dr. Boswell toured the islands, and met a very old bard McVurich, and just heaped him with praise. I'll try to find that.

Thanks for posting that Sandra. A good clue for me with the relatively rare names of Finnan and Godfrey!

I have a bunch of articles on him, including one with picture.
If you want to send me a private message we can swap emails and I can see if they can be emailed.
Otherwise, I live in Vancouver, and could print em and hand them off when you are here.

A lot of your relatives went to New Brunswick, Canada and the US.
This is a great site for them....

Clare / Re: Considine - McMahon of Clare - Genealogy Assistance Needed

There is an Ann born to parents of the same name you outline in 1863 in nearby Kilmurry.
There is an Ann Considine(O'rourke-widow?) who married a Costello in Oneida, NY in 1910 who lists Michael Considine and Ellen Scully as parents.
Do you know if Michael Senior had siblings?

Whenever I see a MacDonald/Corbet union, my mind always goes to this abandoned site near Castle Tiorem.
