[Boere]

Hi Bryon,
You need to help me I have not made the conection with Mary Jane.
I would like to  go go forward with her and her parents.
Samuel is still a blank canvass,
How did you make the connection.
Thanks Will

I have been researching McCaughans for several years. I have a McCaughan family tree chart listed many of the McCaughans of Antrim. When I  saw your  Samuel McCaughan, I went to the family tree and found a Samuel whose mother was a McGowan ( Mary Ann McGowan ). I do not know for sure if there is a
connection but I think it is very likely. I do not have any more info on Mary Ann. I'll
see if I can find something. A RootsChat search may be useful.

Thanks.
I will see if I can find out Mary's relationship to James.

 I found the family in the 1901 census.
Do you perhaps know where they were married I am looking for any info on the marriage certicate?

Nehemiah McCaughan and Mary Ann McGowan were married
15 Sept 1864 at Ramoan.
The brides family was John McGowan.

Thanks it all ties in with what I have.
Just to fill in the total picture do you Nehemiah's birth and death dates.

Nehemiah McCaughan died 2-5-1902 at age 62. I do not have his birth date.
You will sometimes see his surname spelled McCahan but he is McCaughan.
Mary Ann is on the 1911 Census on Ann Street in Ballycastle. You can get more on the 1911 Census.

Thanks.
Date of death and age is close enough.
Cheers Will
