Anyone know where Lurgen, Ireland is..McClearys

[Tiffaney]

Hope that is the correct spelling. Where is Lurgen plese. I have a Mary Ann McCleary b. 16 Dec. 1848, Lurgen, Ireland who I believe came to Canterbury, New Zealand with her family. She married James McLauchlan at the home of her father on 24 April, 1868.
There is also a mention a place called Waringstown in Corere  y.??in Ireland.
They had 14 children.
Cheers, Tiffaney

Hi Tiffaney,
I know it is quite a while from you posted . Did you get any further with your research? Lurgan is the town name. Corcreeney, Corcreaney are two neighbouring townlands.
The name McCleary is very often found in a Presbyterian church (Newmills Presbyterian -It lies just within the border of Tullylish parish) close to these townlands although it is also within Lurgan town also. The name McCleary is still in the neighbouring townlands today especially in Bleary Townland.  I have quite a few photos of the graves in Newmills church if you would like copies of the McCleary ones.
Regards,
Aljepeka

Hi Aljepeka,

No I didn't get any further but thant you for enquiring & for added more information would could prove very worthwhile.

To have photos of the McCleary gravesites would be wonderful.

Unfortunately I live in the country where we can't get broadband only dial-up so would have to be sent in a few at a time.

I will give you my e-mail on a p/m to you.

Thank you so much for your generosity.....will be wonderful to have now & for future generations.

Warm regards,
Tiff

Tiffany,

I thought I wrote you some time ago as those are my McClearys.  I think we spelled the name differently on my gt aunt's tree, so there was some confusion.    I have talked to other McLaughlan relatives of NZ when I was looking at that line. 

Many Wilson/McCLearys, McCleary/Robinson and McCLeary/Cairnes relatives are in NZ.   In addition some of the  Doaks there are highly related.   Bits of the tree is on Rootsweb and Genes Reunited by several people.  Look for lines with Boyds, Ezekiels,  and Samuels.

If you look at the pictures on the Newmills Presbyterian Church site you will see pictures including a few  McCleary relatives.  I am not at home now, and can not give you the e-mail of the Bleary family and their relationship, but you are closely related.  You are from Samuel's line and probably your family diverges from mine at Grandson Samuel's children, but I would have to look at my records. 

The McClearys arrived in Corcreany before 1740 and the line with Samuels soon moved to Bleary, Co. Down.  The others stayed in Corcreany,Co. Down, but went to church in Lurgan.  The births, marriages, and deaths were recorded in Lurgan.  However, family members eventually spread into outlying towns near Lurgan. 

I am trying to follow the lines from Samuel #1's brothers Andrew and Richard, but have holes in the lines.  Please let me know if you have any information on them.
