Even an elimination is a start. Would love to hear from anyone else researching the names HAMILTON or ALEXANDER in County Down. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Macartney" <hhmacartney@shaw.ca> To: <nir-down@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [NIR-DOWN] gravestone inscriptions or death records fortheKillinchy Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church and/or theKillinchy Presbyterian Church (Co Down) > The Killinchy Alexanders were mostly living at Carrickmannon, Raffrey and > Drumreagh and the Ros Davies web site will contain many details.
