I'm trying to find out information about my grandfather William Thomas McGaffin, 1900 - 1995 and his wife, my grandmother, 1900 - 1948. I think they were wed in knocknamuckley parish church in county Armagh but I'm trying to find out the date of the wedding. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Bruce! Thanks for your latest message. I am just back from my break away in Newcastle but I'm working today, Saturday, so I'll get back to you tomorrow sometime! Delighted your son and daughter in law are moving to the Uk but I'm sure for you it is bitter-sweet 
.... my brother lives in Australia and I know what it feels like each time he visits , then has to return home
Till tomorrow then! Paul.

By the way Bruce, you have really made my day! I can't quite believe it yet 
We were in Cape Town in 2007 but not Port Elizabeth. I thought all these years you were all still based in Zim.! I was looking in the wrong place all the time
