I know he lived and have traced him on the GV to Trumman East and can track him this way with out doubt. Unfortunately the TAB do not list tenant farmers for the area. My problem is finding any evidence of Josephs birth/marriage or death. One assumes he married because he had children c1840/50. There is a possible marriage at Drumhome Church on the 29.10.1844 of a Joseph McClea to an Elizabeth Harron of Ballinakillew. Can anyone give me any help on this marriage. There is also a death again at Drumhome on the 13.5.1869 of a Joseph Mcclay of Cool again can anyone help me with this death. Any ideas gratefully received. Regards Pat
