I'm looking for information about, or descendants of, tha above couple. On 4th Feb 1843 their son, James A , was baptised at the Annaclone 2nd Presbyterian Church & their address was Ballybrick. Their other children Mary Ann ( 13 Feb 1845 ) , Margaret ( 28 Mer 1847 ), William George (8 Dec 1852 ), Jane ( 13 Feb 1854 ) & Isabella ( 3 Feb 1857 ) were all baptised in the 1st Dromara Presbyterian Church on the mentioned dates, and lived in Aughanskeagh town land.
William was my gr-grandfather & died in Australia in 1897. I can't find when he came here or if any of his family came too. their father James was a farmer.
Kind regards, Jenny Yates
