hi KDrive,
AGHADOWEY on page 2 as a link to the braid site .If you put crawford and clough graveyard into the Ancestor search box , James Crawford is the first one on the list.It said the age was 58 i've looked at the photo it's only a 3x3 photo hard to make out but i think it is 58.Also on the list if you go down about half way  you see (Soarns) Daniel and Charles.

On the photo you posted of the brothers and sisters. Charles is back right he died in 1944,his wife is mary strahan mc cullough  died 1972 and is the photo I sent.

elizabeth crawford (lizzie)second in on left at back was a missionary in China for about 40 years .In the second world war she was held in a japanese  camp in Shanghai.She died 1950 buried in Troon
Scotland.Her husband William was scottish and they met in china he was a missionary too.

Going back to the other photo you posted Charles b.1820 & Mary Jane McKay.His brothers had gone to  ohio/michigan area. His sister Mary McIlwain had gone to the same area too,not sure of dates or who went first but it must have been in the 1840/50s.The only other thing i know about Mary is her son Robert McIlwain joined the Union army in 1861.he was in the 11th Michigan Inf. E company.He was killed on the 31th of Dec 1862 at The Battle of Stone's River. Murfreeboro Tennessee.

hi
robert crawford and family  moved from clough at some time to farm at breckagh townland in the early 18??. they rent at first but were able to buy out part of the land and farm it .the farm is called "Soarns" after the hill behind the house.Charles Crawford b 1820 / Mary Jane McKAY farmed the land after this .Is older brothers and sisters (Gamble etc.) had gone america. Charles b 1869/Mary Strahan
McCullough farmed next with his two brothers. the farm had been left to all three and was divided up.
Charles bought one of his brother parts and brother moved away. the third part was sold in the 1950's and they moved to Canada.Charles died in 1944 and the farm was left to his sons daniel and charles..They all in clough graveyard.
a few other notes one of the posts ask about" BOGSTOWN" this is the townland next to Breckagh townland.
I have a few photos of the headstone at clough before it became to bad to read, it was taken in 1972   Mary Strahan mc cullough was Charles Crawford b.1869 wife.
