Hello,
I have reached a dead-end with trying to find information on Samuel Edgar and Margaret McWhinney who are buried in the Bangor Abbey Graveyard in Co. Down.
The gravestone inscription reads "EDGAR, Erected by Samuel Edgar of Bangor in memory of his daughter Jane Edgar, alias Robinson, who died 15th January 1835, aged 21 years. Also his wife Margaret Edgar alias McWhinney, who died 25th July 1842, aged 52 years. Also the said Samuel Edgar, who died on the 18th October 1861, aged 79 years."
I have details on their child Robert Edgar and his family who emigrated to Australia but would like to find out more details on Samuel and Margaret and also their daughter Jane who is mentioned on the gravestone. Robert Edgar was a baker in Main St. Bangor in 1852 and there was a Samuel Edgar who was a Spirit Dealer in Main St Bangor in 1846 who was most likely the person I am after.
Any information or suggestions greatly appreciated
Regards,
Greg
