Is there anyone on the list reseraching McDaid? I found a very sad newspaper article about an explosion at the Malin Head Pier and the article only mentions the surname. I looked up some baptismal records and found two McDaids in Ballygorman. One of the McDaids who did not have any more children after 1886 was a James McDaid married to Bridget McGowan. The article said that Mr. McDaid had nine children. If anyone is researching this family please let me know and I will give you the full details of the newpaper article. The explosion occured in January 1886. Beannachtai, Margaret (Máiread)
