BAYNE, MCGEAGH families married one another at various times between 1820 and 1918 in Tyrone, in the Cookstown area. Townlands of interest include; Tamlaghtmore, Lismoney, Claggan, Gortnagross, and Ballymenagh. It seems that at least some of the Bayne's moved into the Cookstown area in the early to mid 1800's, leaving from around Keady Co. Armagh - as also the HOGG and WARNOCK families. I am particularly interested in a Samuel Cordner Bayne who left for the USA (possibly in the 1870's) and who was involved in the yeast industry there, who later returned to Ireland, and was involved in the brewery/yeast industry there in the early 1900's The SHERRARD family were from Lisnalinchy townland in Antrim and had links with Ballyeaston/Ballylinney Presbyterian Churches. Alexander married a Janet LOGAN. One daughter, Nora, married a James Henderson. They emigrated to New Zealand in the 1920's. I am interested in the wider family connections, not just the direct lineage, and welcome any information that anyone may be able to provide. One particular puzzle at present is to identify the family linkage between the various BAYNE/BAIN families in the area around Cookstown especially the link between the John BAIN of Lismoney 1800-1870 and the William BAIN of Tamlaghtmore who built a house there in 1859.
