I've also just found this post.

I, too, am related to a Cunningham, John Cunningham, who married a Margaret Rosbrough circa 1837.  I have no idea which branch of the Cunninghams he belongs to, but he did name one of his daughters Mary-Ann, so I'm wondering if he had a sister with the same name. 

In the 1831 Census, there is only one Rosbrough from Cumber Upper, so I'm assuming (may be a huge mistake) that John C was from around there too....

Anyone have any ideas where to go next...? Thanks

Hi,
   A more common spelling of this name in the area was ROSBOROUGH. In the 1831 census you will find 43 households with this name in Co. Londonderry.
