Thankyou Scotsmum, I will take a look at it.

Have you looked at Grants marrying Hanrattys?

Then look for Births, Deaths

I just looked through my notes and it looks like Elizabeth Grant inherited the farm from her Aunt Elizabeth Hanratty in 1912. So now even more confusing and unusual. Elizabeth Grant's parents were both alive at this time.

Erm, the will says the small farm of c3 acres was left to Patrick Grant. A James Grant was one of the witnesses to the will. Lizzie Grant was one of those who obtained probate, so was an executor/administrator of the will.

Valuation Revision book actually shows Patrick Grant taking over from Elizabeth Hanratty in 1907.

It also looks in Revision Books, that a James Hanratty took over the property in 1886, then Elizabeth Hanratty in 1889.

A James Hanratty, aged 61, of Maphoner died 15th October 1886. His widow, Elizabeth, registered the death. Appears under Newry district.

Yes Scotsmum,I just found that Pat Grant took over the farm. I have the will image. I don't know why I had Lizzie as inheriting! Thanks for the marriage record info. On James Hanratty. I will look it up now.

A James Hanratty married a Betty McCoy, both of Meighfoner (as transcribed), on 10 Dec 1876.

Scotsmum, I had no luck finding this record in proni. I see she was previously married and her maiden name was Morgan. Oh why are none of the records showing up online on Proni.

Are they on Civil Reg??

Are they on Civil Reg??

No, I can't find this couple either. I'm having no success with the civil documents at all with this family. They should be registered. I've tried a lot of variations and using only surnames.

it doesn't help that early Marriages don't have Images yet...... rumoured to be online November!
