History of Third Garvagh Presbyterian Church

This congregation split from Main Street, Garvagh in 1809 over Regium Donum.

In 1863 this congregation together with Ballylintagh & Benvarden was received into the General Assembly as Third Garvagh, a member of Coleraine Presbytery, but this caused a split in the congregation, those who objected to this union leaving to join the Reformed Presbyterians.

I have a reference for someone who belonged to Garvagh Reformed Presbyterian Church in 1886.

I am not aware of any reformed Presbyterian churches in Garvagh.

I think Drimbolg Reformed is the nearest reformed Presbyterian church but it is in Tamlaght O'Crilly parish - any ideas anyone?

When you look at the 1911 census and the 1891 census mention, both of which appear to be the same family, I do not think it is the John who married Agnes. Therefore I do not think the 1934 death is the John you are referring to.

Thanks

I agree - looks like a different family

I need to re-examine the information that I have.

John McConnell (1851-1934) married Agnes Jane Conway (1874) Derry, Ireland but John gave his address as Knaresborough, Yorkshire.

Had at least 2 children King Alexander Birney McConnell (1875) and Margaret Frances McConnell.

I am trying to trace the death of John McConnell's wife (Agnes Conway McConnell)

Any help gratefully received -

Thanks Aghadowey,

The link on the Irelandxo forum was very interesting and seems to put the Hunters in Carmoney which is across Mulroy Bay from Carrowkeel (Kerrykeel) where Fannet Presbyterian church is situated.

I assume they travelled across Mulroy Bay on Sundays on small boats otherwise it was a fair spin by land down through Milford.
