Audrey thank you for the look up, it doesn't look like it is the immediate family of Susan Richardson but I will keep the information you never know if it will fit in later.  Also thanks for the look up on Sarah McKinly

Hello Matty
I have an ancestor (Mills) who married John Richardson from the townland of Figart in Clondahorkey, unfortunately this John was born about 1835.

Hi Smiffy,

Thanks again Matty

Hello matty
Sorry, no Smiths.

The marriage I mentioned had witnesses called Andrew McNutt and Hugh McKinley. The Grooms father was David Richardson.

Hi Smiffy,  so sorry your not a "Smith" but never mind it's interesting about Andrew McNutt he is a relative and his son william came over to Lancashire in the mid 1800's. 

I have looked at some of my notes and found this information Henry McFadden gave me on Rootschat

Hello Smiffy,

I am very interested in corresponding with you. I believe you are referring to the 26 March 1857 marriage of my great-grandparents, Elizabeth Mills and John Richardson, parents Edward Mills and David Richardson. As you stated, this  marriage was witnessed by Hugh McKinley and Andrew McNutt.

Elizabeth and John Richardson emigrated from Londonderry, arriving 14 May 1857 in Philadelphia. A person named Bell Richardson is listed on the passenger list with them.  They went first to New Castle, Delaware where they lived until the late 1870s, moving to Philadelphia. PA. Their deaths are recorded in Philadelphia, John in 1904, Elizabeth in 1906.

I am descended from Ada Grace Richardson, the youngest child of Elizabeth and John Richardson. Currently, I am reading though the microfilmed Dunfanaghy Petty Session records and transcribing information for all Mills, Richardson, Andrew/Andy McNutt, and Hugh McKinley references.
