McELROY FAMILIES of brothers - PETER AND JAMES, CO. MONAGHAN N.I.

[Doreen Peacock]

Thanks a million once again. YOU ARE A MINE OF INFORMATION, AND MUCH APPRECIATED.

Henry Musgrave had a difficult life bless him. I wonder who cared for his family after the demise of both his wives? I would like to think that he had support from close family and friends.

It's never easy for children losing a parent these days, it must have far worse back then, and in such hostile conditions. Puts our gripes into context when you see what happens to other peoples lives.

Thank you for advice Heywood. I will need to get a member of family to guide me through the more technical aspect of putting in quotes and links.. my brain is somewhat slower being almost 80yrs - when it comes to computer technology, hence my many questions to clarify facts etc.

You and others, are, and have been amazing pushing forward my search for missing family members. I am now linking with some people in Australia; so I can get paper proof of Catherines death record and put that strand to sleep...so I can then pick up the Irish connection in Monaghan for Peter         Mc Elroy and ancestors of Catherine Smith from N/C to trace pirate and Spanish lady.... Thank you so much for your input, I couldn't have got this far without it.
