I'm trying to find out information about my grandfather William Thomas McGaffin, 1900 - 1995 and his wife, my grandmother, 1900 - 1948. I think they were wed in knocknamuckley parish church in county Armagh but I'm trying to find out the date of the wedding. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Bruce! Thanks for your latest message. I am just back from my break away in Newcastle but I'm working today, Saturday, so I'll get back to you tomorrow sometime! Delighted your son and daughter in law are moving to the Uk but I'm sure for you it is bitter-sweet :( .... my brother lives in Australia and I know what it feels like each time he visits , then has to return home :(
Till tomorrow then! Paul.

By the way Bruce, you have really made my day! I can't quite believe it yet :)
We were in Cape Town in 2007 but not Port Elizabeth. I thought all these years you were all still based in Zim.! I was looking in the wrong place all the time :(

Hi Bruce! Great to connect after all these years! Welcome back into the family circle :) ... We've all been out of touch since Aunt Lizzie died in 1985. She was a character your Grandmother, but I'm sure you remember her! She had her opinions and no one could change her! Anyhow, I'm just coming to the end of a holiday in Newcastle tomorrow so I will get back to you Friday or Saturday for sure and fill you in with who I am! ( my late Mother , Kathleen McGaffin Hewitt was your Dads cousin, Colin who also replied and who brought my attention to the post is a son of William McGaffin, my Mothers brother. Anyhow, till later, best to you and yours! Cousin Paul! ( In Ireland)
