[Lizrr]

My Gt Gt Grandparents
Born Ireland James Conn about 1826
Margaret Conn NEE Lilly Born  1836
No Place name so is this a lost cause? No idea where to look in Ireland.
 I found them in 1881 in Govan Lanark
With their family.
Thanks   Liz

It is never a lost cause.

Keep trying and you shall find, may just take a little longer.
