Linda,
       I have a record of an Elizabeth McMail whose father was John. She married Robert Boyle (father James Boyle) in Ballywalter 2nd Presbyterian Church on 4 May 1862.

Regards

That marriage is the one I mentioned from Ros Davies' site earlier.

Hi Linda
I have a Celena McIlmail married to Robert Seeds on 14th February 1857 in Ballywalter Presbyterian Church.  Her father's name is given as John McIlmail.  Robert Seeds is my ancestors brother.

Hi Bridieb
I am very pleased ti hear from you as I have not been able to make any links with my McMail line and would love to know more than I have been able to find out to date. I know that John McMail had 2 children, Ann born in 1828 and Willian born about 1835 both in County Down. One of the earlier postings had found an Elizabeth and I had heard of a Celine but no other details. Do you think John McMail and John McllMail are one and the same. It seems reasonable as the name is so unusual and for both to be at the same church would be a coinidence and very likley related. I would love to know more, would it be in order to exchange email addresses so that we could stahe information. I am new to Rootsweb and not sure of the protocols
Kind regards
Linda

Once bridieb has three posts you can both use the PM system to exchange email addresses and other details which you aren't allowed to post on the boards.

hi Linda
I too am new to rootschat - yours was the first post i answered.  I think it is the same Celene McMail/McIlmail, I have found names like Elizabeth shortened to Eliza and Lizzie, also the name McIntosh shortened to Tosh.  I do not have much information on Celena and Robert yet as I am researching the Seeds line, but I will see what I can find over the next few days.  Still have to work out how to post p.m.  I would be delighted to exchange e-mail addresses when I am allowed by Aghadowey!

Have you tried searching for the children in 1871 English census?
Civil registration of deaths in Ireland started in 1864 and there are no McMail death so I wonder if parents died before 1864.

I had looked previously but have double checked and still can't find any McMail (or varaint) on the 1871. From the story passed down William and Rachel may have drowned on the boat coming from Ireland to Cumbria but as none of them are on the 1871 in England then it would have been later - if it happened at all. It was worth a try though. Thanks. Linda
