I have always sent requests previously wanting info specifically on my Patrick. I have decided to try and map all McNabb (and variations) in the County Down area to try and better understand the placement of McNabb families and where mine fits in. I know, and consider distant cousins, two current McNabb/MacNabb families in County Down and wish to place them in the map as well. I have already used the IGI and family resource files (which I know can be incorrect) as well as using the IrishTimes.com to show placement within County Down of those residences. I have looked at Freeholder Records at PRONI, through Plantation lists, and someone kind volunteer has sent me all the graveyard inscriptions from indexes that she could find. I have written some of the McNabbs of County Down and have just written one's here in the states that I have traced their grandparents from Portaferry to specific locations in the US. I will do research at Kew (London), Belfast, and Dublin next summer again, but would really love it if anyone could add information so I have more to go on while I'm there. Do you have a McNabb, McNab, MacNab, MacNabb (you can also add a K before the N, have seen two wills in Northern Ireland like that) in your family that was either in County Down (or the immediate surrounding area, such as Belfast) or had roots in County Down*? If so, whether it just be who they married, when they died, where they lived, burial location, parents names, children's names, dates - ANY information would be appreciated! *I have traced Portaferry McNabbs to the following locations: a. Richard McNabb - died 1940 - Portland, Maine, USA b. James McNabb - died 1911 South Shields, New Castle Upon Tyne, England c. Ann (Shiels) McNabb - died 1901 in New Castle Upont Tyne, England d. Georgina McNabb - died 1942 in Stone, Straffordshire, England e. George Neil McNabb - died 1898 in London, England f. Various McNabbs - Boston, Massachussetts, USA g. John McNabb - died 1863 in Belfast h. Joseph McNabb - died 17 JUN 1943 - St. Dominic's, Kentish Town, London, England (also known as Father Vincent McNabb, Catholic Dominican Priest, has several books published). i. Annie McNabb - born in Belfast in 1873, died 1943 in Brewood, Staffordshire, England j. Laurence McNabb - died 1926 in South Shields, England Other County Down McNabbs: a. Patrick McNab - died between 1850 and 1860 (born around 1775) in Ontario County, New York, USA b. Mary (Murphy) McNab - died between 1850 and 1960 (born around 1790) in OC, New York, USA c. Patrick McNabb (son of above) - born 1826 in County Down, came to the US in 1844, died 1913 in Petersburg, Indiana, USA d. John William McNabb (actually born in Glasgow, Scotland on 23 JUN 1831) moved to Bangor, County Down and married a Jane Kennedy, they had two children that I know of. One, a Daniel Archibald McNabb later moved to South Dakota, USA, where he died on 8 DEC 1928 (in Newark, Marshall County). A special note to the London-L list members. If Father Vincent McNabb looks familiar to you and you have any info on him, please do share. I do believe I am a portaferry McNabb, and even if I'm not, my distant cousins in Downpatrick (originally from Portaferry) would love any info on him. I have already purchased one of his books, and a book written on him. Collecting anything about him. Thanks. Thanks for reading this long message everyone! This email is being sent to four different countries, and I send greetings to all of you from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA! LeeAnn McNabb (an Indiana McNabb, of County Down origin)
