Hello Helen,
The names that you mention are not the ones in the line I have traced. I am connected through Esther Anne Weir, daughter of Joseph Weir of Aught, as detailed in her marriage record. Since she is an Esther, this fits with the Joseph who's wife was also an Esther, although I hadn't proved that yet. Esther Anne (called Essy Anne) married Robert Short of Drung in 1860. Their daughter, Mary Jane Short, married Joseph Warnock, of Gulladuff, in 1895. Their son, William James Warnock, was my grandfather, and married Susanna McCandless of Gleneely in 1924. They left Ireland for Brooklyn in the 1920's.
That's an interesting possibility that Rachel may have been part of the same family as Essy Anne. I will have to do some research on that end.
Thanks for the reply! This is great!
Doug
