Hi Kaney
I know this is a reply to an old post but thought I would give it a try anyway! I am descended from James McCormick who was a brother of Hugh McCormick. I also know a bit about another brother Michael McCormick but didn't know about Hugh's existence until quite recently. I would love to see your photos if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Dardanelles Close , Port Glasgow
RAB thanks so much posting so much information and fotos from old Port Glasgow, I also downloaded your book. Such a wealth of information! My Irish ancestors also lived in Dardanelles Close, The McCormick, Mc Sloy, Carey, McGlynn families were all my ancestors, many of them were married in St John the Baptist church there in Port Glasgow. I contacted Father McMahon to see if any McCormicks are still in the parish but hadnt heard from him in over a year. Do you know of families with these names today? I have to think I still have relatives alive in Port Glasgow today. I want to visit Port Glasgow in 2011 and visit the local cemetery where I hope I can find my ancestors. Is there a specific cemetery where members of St Johns were buried? Thanks again!

Hello I know this is a reply to an old post but I thought I would give it a try! I think you and I may both be descended from James McCormick and Elizabeth Kerry or Carey. I have been researching the McCormicks for a while so perhaps we could share some info?

Ireland / Irish Burials

Hi I'm new so I hope I'm doing this properly!
I have recently discovered that my grandparents are buried in Glasnevin cemetery in Dublin. However they are in different graves and seem to have been buried with strangers. My grandfather was buried in 1946 in a grave with 7 members of another family. My grandmother was buried fairly recently,1970, and is in a grave with one family member (an in-law) and a stranger. I have never heard of this practice before and it was quite a shocking discovery. Does anyone else have experience of this or know why this happened? I would be very grateful for any information anyone can give me. Many thanks!
