« on: Thursday 20 January 11 19:34 GMT (UK) »
GG Grandfather Hugh McCahon, farmer from Ballylame, father of Alexander McCahon (born 1838) who married Thomasina Atchison in 1865. Any info of either McCahon or Atchison families would be greatly appreciated.

Mentions son Thomas McCahon, daughter Jane McGilligan, son Hugh.

Added- from memory the Atchisons might have gone to church in Maghera (Church of Ireland?)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
