>>John I can't help you with the McMenamin/Gallaher line but did notice your mention of Sarah Orr. The sister,Ann Mekim(daughter of Ann Bryce and ? Mekim, of my Derry ancestor Alexander Mekim(now Machum), was married to a John Orr sometime around 1820, and they emigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania shortly afterward. However, a Joseph Orr lived in the Townland of Edinmore, Balteagh in 1829. He may or may not have been a relative of John's but the district corresponds with our information on Alexander and his wife Margaret Carson, daughter of James Carson, Masterweaver, Newtown Limivady and Martha Worden. A look in this area of Derry for Sarah Orr may turn up something more. Good Luck!
