Dear List, I'm searching for information on my great grandmother, Annie(or Anna) Elizabeth McCombe daughter of Alexander, who was a solicitor. They resided in Cootehill and she married James Fraser there on 14th May 1867. They married in the Church of Dirnakish according to the rites and cermonies of the Church of England and Ireland. The record says she was of full age so I don,t know when she was born. One of the witnesses was Martha McCombe so I suppose she may have been Anna's sister or cousin. That's all I know can anyone add to that? Regards Fay Markwell Lake Macquarie. NSW

Hi Fay, I just read your query on the Cavan site and there is a possibility that I may be able to be of some help to you. While I am not researching the McCOMBE surname, I do have the records of Dernakesh Church of Ireland, as well as the records of the Drumgoon Parish Church of Ireland [Cootehill town] and the nearby Kilsherdny Church of Ireland in Kildrumsherdan Parish. Hopefully, somewhere in those records I should be able to find something about your family. Send me a private e-mail and give me some particulars. I'll print it out and take the e-mail with me on Thursday. That is the day that I have a microfilm reader available for my use and I'll do a search for whomever you would like me to search. By the way, are you anywhere near Port MacQuarie? I have a cousin living there. Patricia St. Petersburg, Florida USA
