Hi Gary,
Thos might help you.
My great great great grandfather's sister - Jane May Laffins - married a Joseph Crombie on 9th July 1836 at Rathfriland Presbyterian Church. (Banbridge area) They went to Australia in 1840 with their two daughters - Esther Crombie and Jane Matilda Crombie. They settled in Adelaide and had four further children  - James, Joseph, Margaret and  William John. 

I am related to the Sherrards who are buried at Mallusk Cemetery and have spent years researching them. I am saddened to think that anyone would throw old photographs in a skip! Well done for salvaging them! I would love more information or to see these photographs, please. I live in Northern Ireland. Thank you.

I am also looking for the servants at Castle Upton. My great great great grandmother was supposed to have worked there. Her name was Agnes Blair nee either O'Neill or McChesney.

Hi everyone, I might be able to help. I am related to the McNerlins through a marriage, way back.... There is a Daniel McNerlin in my family tree who married Margaret Barr. When she passed away he married Elizabeth Cox. Daniel and Margaret had a son, Edward Ralph McNerlin, who married Cissy Lewis and they had a son, Edward Campbell McNerlin. I could give you more names and information if you think these are your relations. The family lived in County Down, though, not Belfast, near Seaforde. 

Yes, this is the death. The only one I can find for a Roger McGrath! Bridget's husband is Bernard Nugent. I have found a wife for Roger! Margaret  - who died in Garvallagh in 1890. Bridget Nugent was present at her death too but says Bridget is her daughter IN LAW. Could not be possible as the daughter in law would have to have the same surname as the mother in law so must be an error. Really trying to track Roseanna, though, to make sure that I have the correct father...that this is the Roger who is her father. One problem, the McGraths/Nugents in Omagh are Roman Catholics yet Roseanna was married in a Presbyterian Church! Thank you for the variation in spelling for 'McGrath', I shall now research using different spelling.
