2)Thomas McCann-farmer-Derrycrow(Derryinver) married
Mary mcMahon-Derrytagh South on 13/05/1877 in Derrymacash R.C Chapel. Lurgan no2 Parish.
their parents were (Thomas McCann and Maragret Small),(William Mc Mahon and Isabella Haughey), (Charles Tighe-no mention of mother) and (Patrick McGeown and No mother Mentioned).
Any ideas would be appreciated. i have tried most of the local Armagh sites. Thanks Pat

The Names above are prevalent in the old Montiaghs Parish and the McGeowns in Derrytrasna. The records are held at St Patricks Chapel in Aghacommon (Derrymacash) and at PRONI = you can view at Cregagh Library doing PRONI temporary closure - if you are living near Lurgan the local genealogy groups meets on Monday morning and has some Montiagh records and researchers :)
