Hi,
As you do your research on McGeachans, please keep me in mind. My great-great-great-grandfather, Robert Downie of Ulster, married a Margaret McGeachan. Their son, John Downie and the rest of my Downie ancestors, settled in Scotland in Greenock and Port Glasgow. If you ever come across any Downie/McGeachan connections, please let me know.

Hi Rivin,

Do you have any info as to where Michael and Ann Jane were married? There are pockets of Bonner's (all the spellings) in certain parts of Donegal.
