With help, I have managed to trace Sarah Neill's daughter Sarah Neill to Australia with her husband David Orr Henry and their daughter Sarah Elizabeth Henry's birth, marriage and death. Many thanks to justipeachijo and to others.

Having problems with PM.Unable to send messages.
Link I sent should open Ulster Ancestry Website.Where it says 'search this site' click it and in space provided type 'ballynure old church.' Hit 'search.' What will appear is 'Ballynure Old Church Gravestones:Ulster Ancestry Newsletter.' Select that.Lots of information will appear. Good Luck.
Have family tree of James Neill & Sarah Martin.Happy to share.
Unfortunately have no further info on Anna Lawson Boyd McCaig or Archibald Martin.

Hi Justpeachijo,
Thanks for your help. Not only did I find Ann Martin, etc. I found some Boyds that I was interested in.
Now if you post just one more message on here, you will be able to use the PM function and we can exchange the family tree, etc.
thanks again
Peggy

Were you able to use/open the link to Ulster Ancestry Website?
Researching my husband's Irish connection has been a hit & miss affair to date.Finding you has filled a few more gaps.His grandmother & grandfather did not pass on much information about Ireland & family left behind.Now with his mother's generation all gone,the links back to Ireland r made even more difficult.
But it is very exciting when we can put a bit more family history together.
We have discovered a portrait photo of an Irish relative (circa~1890),but no one here knows who it is.That is our next big quest,to identifying him & give him name.
Looking forward to more discoveries.
regards
Joanna

Thanks Joanna. I did use the Ulster Ancestry website, after your detailed instructions and did find other Boyds that I was interested in.
I will PM you now. It has been so exciting to make contact with you.

Today, I received the will of Arthur McCaig, Annie's son, who died in Shamokin, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, he simply left everything to his wife Jane so no information about possible relatives and where they might be. Maybe I need Jane's will.

Thank you so much, Rathmore. This is great. I don't think I was aware of this site when I was previously doing the research of this family. I will have to revisit it for some other family members as well.
