Hi all id be interested in hearing further information on the Rocks' you have information on. I have a Michael Rocks born approx 1836 according to the 1901 census he was living at a house 5 Seaghan, Lisnadill, Michael is listed living with his 2nd wife Margaret McParland, they married at Ballymacnab RC  1864.  At time of marriage Michael was listed as a widower, his 1st wife was Elizabeth McKee, they married 1862, had a son Michael born to Elizabeth Mckee 1863, so im assuming she died from possible complications at childbirth. Michael went on to have further children with Margaret Mcparland. James Rocks born 1867, Thomas Rocks born 1869 (my gggf) Edward Rocks born 1870, Patrick born 1871, Felix Rocks born 1874. All baptised in Ballymacnab RC. Thomas Rocks son of Michael married Elizabeth Quinn (relative of Bishop Austin Quinn) in 1898 in Ballymacnab. Witness's were Thomas & Lizzie Toner.
