Hi

I am interested in finding out more about the history of the above families in islandmagee and tracing them back a little further.i am related to them through my mothers(Hill) family.

So far i know magaret brown 1817-79 married my great grandfather x 3 james hill married her in 1849.they were as are all of the other families i am interested in i believe,presbyterian by religion.

Margaret mann 1849-1935 married my great grandfather x2 john hill.they had several children but only my grandfather thomas survived past his 20s.

My great grandfather×3 archibald mcmurtry was born in 1820 and married eliza gibson b 1826.their son a sea captain drowned in 1895.

John gibson mcmurtry married joanna hanna(daughter of margaret moore and joseph hanna).their daughter anna bella is my great grand father.

Any help or information on these families,their origins and roots in the islandmagee/east antrim area or aid in tracing them back further is much appreciated.

Best to stick to one topic for a query to avoid needless confusion and extra work for those trying to help as well as yourself. It's also nice if you respond when people post on your topics, especially if those posts involve information found or queries.

Hi.  The person you talk about appears within http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mcmurtriecfr/sam/cf-237.html.

If you ever find anything related to the parents of Archibald McMurtry born 1820 please let me know.  I can't seem to find anything before this date.

Thanks.
