Hi Jim
I or rather we have been searching for a while, i have found a relation in Canada and between the two of us have made great headway over the last year.
Our family the Murrays are from Carrickmanon originally then moved to Slievenisky one member lived at Clanvaraghan and the rest stayed at Slievenisky, i know this as the Will that i have dated 1860 belongs to a 'James Murray from Slievenisky) and in this Will is mention of my g.Grandfather. This is where i get the Crangle and McKay connection as two Murray daughters married into these families and we are just interested to find the decendants if any.
I think that we have got the Crangle connection now, we have found a Edward Crangle living with his mother in Downpatrick (lecale History Site) this all fits in as he was a Draper and my g.Grandfather had a few shops in the area and it is known that family members worked for him. Also a Edward Crangle was the witness at my Grandfathers wedding. Susannah McKay we now know was a witness at the birth of one of my g.grandfathers boys.
I have been on ros davies site which is great the Lecale site is brilliant i often have a look at Caora have made connection with the other side of the famliy ( so to speak) with that site! so have done quite a few
thanks for you interest if you do know where else we can go would like to know.
P.S All the family were RC as far as we know
Heff
