James MCNAY & Mary HOLLAND - Ballywalter

[swa]

I am desperately seeking information about James MCNAY born abt. 1824 in Ballywalter, County Down.

James married Mary HOLLAND, also born abt. 1824 in Ballywalter, County Down.

They had two children, (that I know of) both apparently born in Ireland:

John MCNAY born abt. 1849
Charles MCNAY born abt. 1860

I am new to Irish research, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Sarah:
I had a quick look at the BIVRI  ( Vital Records Index) and came up with nothing on these names. I also looked at Ros Davies' site but again with no luck. However, here is a little item about Ballywalter with some pics from Ros' site.

I will keep an eye out for you.

Good luck,

I love this forum!
