Dear Debbie, Thank you for your offer to the list to look up parish records for Co. Antrim, Co. Down and Co. Louth, and I would love to take you up on your offer if it is still okay. I could certainly use a helping hand with my MANN family research. My g-g-g-grandfather was a William MANN born c1829 in Ballymena, Co. Antrim, being the son of Samuel MANN and Elizabeth BEGGS/BAGGS. Samuel MANN arrived in Sydney, Australia as a convict in 1834, and Elizabeth and their three children (Margaret, William and Jane) followed him out shortly afterwards. Samuel was born c1806, but I have reached a brickwall in getting back any further for the time being. If it is not too much trouble, could you please check your Irish parish records CD for any MANNs in Co. Antrim ? Any help would be greatly appreciated !! Thanking you in advance, and best wishes, Nick Batley Sydney, Australia ###################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned and cleared by MailMarshal http://www.marshalsoftware.com ######################################################################
