McNiffe surname and variants
« on: Monday 09 April 12 21:03 BST (UK) »
My Michael McNiffe was born in Co. Sligo about 1800 and his children and their approx. birth years were:

James 1825, William 1830, Stenson 1838, Jane 1845, Timothy 1847, Philip 1848.

I know that people sometimes changed their surnames in the 1800's and Mcniffe
might have been McNiff, MacNiffe, Cunniff, Cunniffe , Cunnliffe, or MacConduibh.

Have I any chance of finding when my Michael was born or who he married ?

Probably not an easy one to answer, but any thoughts would be most welcome.

Hello,
I have been searching around and was going to tell you about the Michael McNiff, I found in Fortland, Easky parish.
I just saw that you already have this information and posted that elsewhere.

I can only advise you to follow that line.

best wishes
heywood
