Antrim / Re: Daniel Barr + Margaret McPadden mid 1800's

Hi There,
My husband's last name is McFadden but his grandfather's name was Stephen McPadden. Seems Mr. McPadden changed the name once he emigrated to America, something about a stigma attached to the term "paddy wagons". This Stephen McPadden was born in Ireland (not sure where), he served in WWI with the British Army and emigrated afterwards. We've been trying to find some records of his military service or any info at all about him and the McPadden's. Your post turned up when I searched the name. Myself, I've been trying to locate any records regarding my family name: McGinley, I believe they were from Donegal.
God Bless, All.
