Title: Bonnar/McGeachan of Donegal
Post by: RIVIN on Saturday 29 April 06 17:02 BST (UK)

I am looking for any information on Michael Bonnar and Ann Jane McGeachan both of Donegal. They married Feb. 1875 and moved to Greenock, Renfrewshire around 1880.

I would appreciate any help with their birth dates and parentage if possible or any other information

Hi,
As you do your research on McGeachans, please keep me in mind. My great-great-great-grandfather, Robert Downie of Ulster, married a Margaret McGeachan. Their son, John Downie and the rest of my Downie ancestors, settled in Scotland in Greenock and Port Glasgow. If you ever come across any Downie/McGeachan connections, please let me know.

Hi Rivin,

Do you have any info as to where Michael and Ann Jane were married? There are pockets of Bonner's (all the spellings) in certain parts of Donegal.
