Hi Debbie My father in law Patrick was in the merchant navy 1944-46 Jane

Hello all, Just back from Belfast and found something interesting at PRONI. My g-g-grandfather, John McCormick married an Ann SHAW July 13, 1846. A lot of McCormicks are buried in Derriaghy, including John's son Edward and his grandfather Edward among others. There is a separate McCormick grave in the yard with some McCormicks in it, Sarah Jane, Mary Jane, Joseph . . and some McCartneys . .Annie, John . . . as well as some IRELANDs, albeit more recent than most of my McCormicks: James Ireland, Millbrook Rd, Lisburn d 1951 James (Brit) Ireland Millbrook Rd. Lisburn d. 1960 age 29 Mary Jane Ireland, Millbrook Rd Lisburn d. 1963 age 70 So, I go to PRONI and find a William SHAW and a Sarah IRELAND married in 1832. Could this be the McCormick-Shaw connection? If anyone has Irelands in the Belfast area, I'd be interested in hearing from you. Andy Airriess

Hi Peter I don't know about your Peter Joseph. All I have on Bernard is that he was dead before his son Daniel married in 1888 at St Matthews. On the wedding cert it said he'd been a railway worker though in 1865 he's listed as a labourer in Murray's Lane. I have Bernard's other sons as Robert and Patrick and their mother as Margaret Smith. What do you think ? Jane

Hello Bill I'm afraid I only have Irish McKeowns from Belfast and apart from my other half, I only know of one other John - his grandfather John Joseph McKeown 1894-1971 who did spend some time in New York along with brother his Joseph Patrick who remained there. Their father was Daniel and his was Bernard. Jane

A large amount of birth records in the Kilkeel parish has been added to my website, there are about another 40 or 50 cunningham births to be added plus some other names, these will be added sometime this week, please remember when useing the website search engine in search of names, a lot of the names were spelt as they sounded (not by me), and the best of luck in your research.

Hello List and Elizabeth I wonder whether there is a connection to Jane McCULLOUGH who married Francis DEVLIN ? They were living in Youngs Row, Ballymacarret in 1866 when their daughter Margaret (1866-1949) was born. She married Daniel McKEOWN. Jane

Hi Jane, Please excuse me for butting in, I have McKeown in my family and one Johnny McKeown lived in Belfast. Most of his siblings lived in Larne and the family originated in Mckeonstown close to the Braid. Is it possible there is a connection.

Dear Jane, Your Jane McCullough could be a relative of my family who stayed in Ireland, but I have no info on my John McCullough's tie in Belfast yet. I still hope to learn more on my McCullough family there. My second daughter is married to Steve Keown. There may be a tie there, but I do not have their data.

Hi Beryl, I actually order a film from the LDS History Centre, the information I am searching for is pertaining to my family. I'm not sure if people are aware but all films are catalogued according to Ward, District and Parish. I am quite happy to search for other people, the name you have given me doesn't come to mind as I have searched the whole of this film. Jean McCarthy's site lists streets, wards etc Thompson st appears to be in the Mount Pottinger Ward film no 0829088 the film I had was 0829977. I will certainly help you if I can. Do you have a history centre near you?. If not I will order this film and have a look for you. This can take a matter of weeks. Michelle Australia.
