mackay - taggart of Dungiven area

[betty53]

I believe my grandfather Jack McKay was adopted by the McKay family of dungiven, Burnfoot, Bovevagh CI (where most of the family McKays are buried).  Family history says that his name may have been Jackson Taggart (or McTaggart).  He was born in very early 1900s, married Eliza Gordon of Carrick, Terrydremond and moved to a small farm in Cloghan Drumsurn.  Any help appreciated.

Lady - you are fast!  Do you KNOW how long I have been looking for this sort of info?  Admittedly it took a long time to get the actual name and perhaps place but I am so impressed by the help you have given me in the last few days as I had other queries as well.  I only found this site by accident on this weekend.

Where do you actually look for the births and marriages?  I have made an appointment to go to Belfast to look for some birth certificates on 5th July this year so maybe I could save some search time.

Very many thanks
Betty
