Hello Andrea,
I am wondering if you could please find any information on my ancestors - I know very little and don't know where to start looking.

Samuel MacMurray born ? c1830 died c1878 (I haven't found this info, it has been given to me by one of their children's descendants)
married Marie Wilson born approx 1830. Don't know where.

First child (that we know of) William born 1852 in Canada - Samuel there with British armed forces. William died c1900.
George born 1855 County Donegal died NZ 1941. Was an Archdeacon trained at Trinity College. I have his death cert.
Susan born 1857 County Donegal died 1937 NZ.
Marie born 1862 County Donegal died Australia 1888. I have her death cert.

I know this isn't much to go on but it is all I have. I would be most appreciative of any help you can give me. I would especially like the marriage details for Samuel and Marie. Sometimes they are under McMurray as you can imagine.

Kind regards, Carole

Hi Andrea
If your offer of help is still available..
Am trying to locate the birth/family of my grandfather Hugh McGuinness born 1897.

Hi Andrea

Thank you for the kind offer. I'm looking for a marriage for Hugh Kernaghan and Isabelle/Isabella. I believe they came from Belfast and they had a son also called Hugh that my aunt remembers from about 1940 but not sure when he might have been born. Any help appreciated.

Many thanks
Maisy

Hi Andrea, thanks for the offer.

Do you have any census' for Portaferry. I'm looking for the surname Torney please.

Thanks
Dee

PS any births/marriages/buriels for Torney Portaferry would be useful. Its only a small town so I wouldn't think there would be many.

Hi Andrea, thanks so much for the offer. I am after both a marriage and a birth if possible. Mary Shea was born in Co Tipperary to Edward Shea and Ann Davis. Now, mary was married at some point to a Mr Gallagher, as when she remarries in 1877, that is her other name. Unfortunately all the marriage cert gives is her name and place of birth, no ages for her or the groom. I'm assuming that as she is a widow, she has to have been born around 1830-1840, which would also give her parents marriage around that time. Thanks for anything you can find, regards Linda :)

Hi Andrea

Thanks for your kind offer.

I am looking for the following please:

Marriage of Hugh HUNTER & Annie UNKNOWN c1840; Annie born c1815 NI and Hugh c1810 NI. Also any children to this couple, esp David Henry HUNTER c1852 in Belfast, Northern Ireland (my gg grandfather).

Also if possible:

Birth Andrew LINDSAY c1887 in Ardstraw, Co Tyrone, father John
Birth Eliza Jane CROMPTON c1884 in Castlederg, Co Tyrone, father James

I have Andrew & Eliza Jane's marriage (1909 in Strabane). But if you can confirm births of their chn it would be brilliant (Wm Jas 1909; May 1911; Sadie c1912; Bessie c1914; Andrew French c1915.)

I hope I am not asking too much!

Thank you again
