(I am a "newbie" to this list ---have spent the last 3+ years on the Lanark [shire], Scotland list) ***** My search has been as follows (both maternal and paternal): IRELAND - pre 1850 SCOTLAND - 1850 to 1920 UNITED STATES - 1920 to the present. ***** Owen GUNN and Mary (Kelly) had children circa 1830 and were deceased prior to 1857 ---son's (JAMES) marriage in Coatbridge, Scotland ***** GRIFFITH'S VALUATION - 1848 to 1864 contains the following (COUNTY/PARISH/LOCATION) for Owen GUNN: FERMANAGH/CLONES/KILLYFOYLE MONAGHAN/TEDAVNET/KNOCKNAGEEHA " / " / SHESKIN TITHE APPLOTMENT-1823 TO 1838 has no entries for Owen GUNN ***** High probability that the family was Catholic. ***** On the LATTER DAY SAINTS databases, the IGI computer-accessed file contain the following: Mary Anne GUNN - B. Sep. 24, 1865 - Florence Court, Fermanagh Father - Owen GUNN and Mother - Mary Magrath Catherine GUNN - B. Mar. 24, 1865 - Monaghan, Monaghan Father - Owen GUNN and Mother - Mary McKenna This Owen GUNN may be a son to "my" Owen GUNN SR and a brother to my g-grandfather James. The date of birth would lead you to this conclusion. ***** Thanking you in advance and I hope to be an active member. Jim Gunn Blue Bell, PA - USA (outside of Philadelphia) P.S. I will now start to search the list's archives.
