Hi Brenda Thanks for the email. Can't be sure if there is any connection. The only actual information that I have is the wedding of William Duff and Martha Graham. (My GGGrandparents) The witnesses to their marriage were George and James McCloy. So no family clues there. From family stories, I believe that Martha was born in Antrim, but think that William was born in Fowlis Wester, Perthshire. Census descriptions of birthplace is inconsistent in the censuses. The names James, William, John and Robert occur throughout the generations, as well as Thomas, and later Samuel. The only Mary Duff I have found was born in 1863. Any thoughts? Cheers Jen

Hi Jen: Sorry I am not sure where to suggest to go from here. How about Ulster Historical Society. You can search for free - it has been a start. I have checked all my records here - Presbyerian church lists 1864, and some cemetery listing - but no William and Martha show up together. I will keep you information and hope we can match up at some time. Brenda Jen Watson wrote: >Hi Brenda >Thanks for the email. >Can't be sure if there is any connection.
