Family History Beginners Board / McLauglan or McLaughlin and McErlaine Further back
« on: Saturday 16 March 19 15:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I am living in Holland and have Irish forebears, but I'm hitting the famous "brick wall"

This is what my grandmother wrote:
1."Alexander McLauchlan, “a agricultural Labourer”, married Sarah Mc Kane about 1820?? In Dunean, Ireland. About 1820 William, their son was born. They lived in Grange".

2."Thomas McArlailaine* or McErlaine, a farmer, married Rebecca McAllister about 1820 ?? in Ireland. About 1823 Sarah, their daughter was born"

Thomas and Rebecca’s daughter Sarah McErlain married William McLaughlin on 26 August 1840 in a Catholic Church in the Parish of Dunean in the County Antrim, Ireland. Father Denis MacGreevy married them. I have found the marriage document and could go from there up to my birth in 1949. So if anybody is interested I would gladly share my findings as from 1840.

Could anyone help me to find documents of the marriage Alexander and Sarah and birth of William?Could you help me to go further back on both the McLaughlin's and the McErlains?

Kind regards,

Michael Kreijns

From scraps of family information I have I know:
1. Thomas McArlailaine* or McErlaine, a farmer, married Rebecca McAllister about 1820 ?? in Ireland. About 1823?? Sarah, their daughter was born
2. Alexander McLauchlan, “a agricultural Labourer”, married Sarah Mc Kane about 1820?? In Dunean, Ireland. About 1820 William, their son was born.
3. William Mc Laughlin (or Mclaughlan) and Sarah McErlean were married and had children. 
I hold a scrap of paper stating:
" Catholic Church (now our lady of Lourdes)
Parish of Dunane, Money Glass. Co. Antrim
Family of William McLaughlin (of the Grange) & Sarah McErlean (McLean) Drumraymon, both near Toome (or Toombridge) Co. Antrim, Ireland."

Can anyone help me with finding out more about my forebears, when and where they were born, lived and if there are documents to be found. All information and links to documents are more than welcome.

Thank you

My great grandfather Bernard Darragh, was born in 1860 in the township Gloonan city Ahoghill. His parents were Bernard Darragh and Mary Hutton. They were farmhands and are registered as such. The family left the farm in 1861 or 62. This is after the Ahoghill revival.
1. Where did they go?
2. Was this a result of the Ahoghill revival?
My great grandfather moved to Scotland in??? and lived and died in Glasgow. I have written and documented his life story in Glasgow, but I can't find any family history further back than his birth in 1860.
If any one can help me to get further back, this would be very much appreciated.
I am willing to share all my findings and documents with any Darragh that might be related.
Any help is very welcome.
