by the way, his name was spelt McEvoy in these records (quite a common variant of McAvoy)

Well, I've seen a lot of "reps" in the Kilkeel records, and they have all been deaths to this point..

He may well have been somewhere else, but I'll bet he was still dead

Anyway, that will have to wait for a definitive death record

It says "Reps" next to his name, which means representatives were acting for him.This means either that he died (the most common option) or had become mentally incompetent.

I see a Catholic baptism record (and scan) for the 1845 marriage, which I presume you have

I also saw the baptisms of Patrick in 1846 and Edward in 1863, in Ballynahatten, both in Kilkeel

In the 1864 Griffith valuation, Nicholas is living in Ballynahatten, on 2.6 Irish acreas and a house woth 10s rent pa, a relatively modest cottage, I suggest. This is the property he leased, a most peculiar oval shape (in the left hand image, toward lower left), right in the middle of a river, from the look of it. There is no house marked, but these maps weren't drawn up at the same time as the Griffith valuation, so he may have built a house himself.

The property records show he had died by 1874, but I don't see a death record for him.

This site has several Tobermore graveyards, but I couldn't find anything relevant.

(NB we already have the Bangor gravestone for John Wallace and Elizabeth Haslett, nothing interesting there)

To make it more complicated, there is an alternate set of parents for John - born 1868 to David Wallace and Eliza Caldwell. They fit the census details as well.

And they were church of Ireland (as was the census) whereas James Wallace and Mary Jane Winton, (parents of John b.1869) were presbyterian.

Finding the 1896 wedding record would sort this out.

Thanks!

Can you please let Andrew know that if he is connected to the Grahams, we have dozens of cousins waiting to meet him

A couple more minor corrections
(1) the original handwritten 1911 census record shows Willie's age correctly as 18, but the 1 was hard to see, and the age was transcribed as 8. So this error is a modern one.
(2) the German POW record is also indistinct, but I read the date of birth as 22/7/92, incorrect by only a month and a day.

Thank you for the photo, that's fantastic

In the meantime, we have found Willie's birth record, for 23 July 1891 as attached.

Can you possibly give me contact details for Andrew Annett (perhaps by private message). I'd like to find out how he is connected to the family.
