Title: HARRISON Ballyhannon Armagh
Post by: Elz on Saturday 10 October 09 08:42 BST (UK)

Searching for info about the people and the place of Ballyhannon. I am looking for Harrison's and Marshall's there and also McLeans (though may be Greenock based).

James Harrison married to Margaret Marshall. Sons John b.   1884, James, Isiah and Thomas b. 1899 (my grandfather, m.1925  Martha McLean) Family moved to Greenock.

Would like to find dates for James and Margaret and their  ancestors. Any help would be welcome! Cheers, Elz x

Hi,
   James and Margaret were married on 19 Jun 1882 in Portadown Church of Ireland. From the marriage date they were probably born before 1864 when Civil Registration of births started. To find birth dates you will have to rely on church records where they exist.

Regards
