I spent my boyhood and youth in Millbay, Islandmagee, before going, as most of us did, to sea. As kids we played in the grounds of First Islandmagee Presbyterian Church although I was a (reluctant!!) member of Second Islandmagee Presbyterian Church Sunday school. By coincidence, my wifes maiden name is Mawhinney. She was born at Carnmoney Co.Antrim so perhaps there is a connection to your greatgrandparent Mawhinney which I will find one day. We have recently subscribed to a newly started list <[email protected]> (which you may already know about) to assist with our search for her line. Sam Barbour Auckland New Zealand [email protected]
