Hi Cell,

I read your post with interest, my grandmother was Martha Purdy she married Alexander Nicholl Weir, my husband has put together  a website about the Weirs and Purdys with a photo album on it, I include the link if you would like to see it.

Regards Lynnette.

Hi Lynnette , it's very nice to hear from you :).
I have seen your site, your mum sent me a wrong link to it, but I managed to find it in the end by searching Yahoo.

My mum and her siblings will be really pleased to see  some of the photos you have on there. I'll have to print them out and send them to mum - My grandmother never kept many photographs. ( perhaps because my gran moved houses a bit in the early days - so they got lost in the moves).

I have only just read the email that you have sent to me . I will email you some of the info I have ,also a   couple of the old pictures that I do have and  the certs when I manage to find some quiet time ( John Purdy's death certificate  is a bit of problem though - it's bigger than A4 size , my scanner is only A4  so I'm going to have to scan it in two pieces or something)

Very Kind Regards :)

P.S.
Regarding John Purdy's birth , who I now know was born around about 1852/53 going by his death cert ( this thread is an old one of mine I didn't have his death cert when I first wrote my original post)  I may have found his baptism record, I don't know if its  his yet until I purchase it.

Mary Elizabeth McNeill was our great-grandmother's sister. Great-grandmother was Rachel McNeill, who married William Taggart. She was born in 1863 and died in 1913.

Hello Valbeth,  If you have a look at my wee website
www.andersonsofbroughshane.info
you will find a link to a map of the townlands.  You will find Loughconnelly on it.  It has a zoom control on it so you can move about.  Regards,RosemaryJoan

Hi,
( I know this is in the completed section and is an old post - 2007, but hoping you may get a notification in your email in box when I post on this thread. You haven't been online for years.)
I didn't see your post way back in 2007.

Are you sure Rachel didn't die on the 23rd June 1910? ( I'm looking straight at her death certificate . The cert I am holding is definitely the Rachel who's husband was William living in Deerpark farms )
I have been going through my old lines, chasing up things, and by  googling brought your old post up. 

Do you have her death cert?
What I do not understand is where did you get that date of 1913 that you have from ( Her husband William was widowed in 1911 census and there seems to be no deaths in the BMDS in 1913 that could otherwise be her)

My mother, who knew her gran ,Mary Elizabeth McNeill ( married name Purdy) , had never heard of one of her grans sisters being a Rachel, but she probably wouldn't have if things were hushed up and Rachel being the oldest sister ,dying well before my grandmother (Mary's daughter) was born.
I don't think I've come across a baptism for Rachel ( unlike the others she was born before civil reg), but she is obviously Elizabeth's daughter as Elizabeth ( nee White) does mention her daughter Rachel Taggart.
If you see this, please reply, it's exciting to find a long lost family member.

Kind Regards :)
