A total of 10 children were born to Thomas and Sarah with the youngest 9 being born at Tovil (thegenealogist.co.uk) has baptisms and deaths for them.

Hello Dave,

I noticed in your list of names that you have McCusker in it. My G G Grandparents were Daniel McCusker and Martha Jane Byrne and I am descended from their eldest daughter Catherine b 1870. They appeared to have lived in the Banbridge area of County Down and had at least 10 children.

Are you connected to this family or have any other information on them or advice for me to further my research on them?

Regards,
Catherine
