Hi Lorna

My e-mail address is [removed]. It is interesting that you mention William Kirk ( my great uncle ) because he emigrated to Victoria on Vancouver Island. My grandfather, Andrew ,settled in Rathfriland where he lived in Dromore street running a provisions store and then became an emigration agent. My gg/grandfather Francis was born in 1819 so the F.Kirk you mention who appears on the map is presumably his father. The Marmaduke you mention is my gg/uncle. 

Any recollections you have about Joseph and Mary or any other info would also be interesting.

By the way what is a March ditch?

Regards

Graham

Apologies for the formality in my previous reply. The map would be interesting if you don't mind forwarding it.

Thanks

I have traced my GG/Grandfather back to Augnavallog townland in the Drumballyroney parish. He was Francis Kirk d.o.b. 1819 and his father was William Kirk but I have no more information on him. They were farmers and leased houses. A William and a Francis appeared on the Flax growers list of 1796 and are presumably ancestors but I cannot make the link between the generations. Any information from other Kirks would be appreciated.
