Hi Fiona,

Do you have a McGarry married to a Jordan (with its variation on spelling)?

Do drop a line to let me know if you have such information in your file.

Gratefully yours,

Tees

Hello Fiona,

I have 4xgreatgrandfather John Mcgarry who married Jane Wallace abt 1810-1820. Don't have any further information about this generation of McGarry siblings but he may have had a brother James or Henry? My 3xgreatgrandfather John Mcgarry married Mary Adams 1843 in Killead.Also have no information who any siblings were. John Mcgarry 3rd married Lillian Taylor in Ballymoney in 1860. Again he may also may have had brothers but they would have died  prior to 1870 because it is reported in family records that John Mcgarry 3rd was an only surviving son by then which suggests he did have at least one brother. Does any of this look like it might fit somewhere with the McGarry's you have?

Hello Lynn i have read through the various messages regarding the name McGarry - my grandfather was McGarry from Rasharkin which is near to Ballymena in Northern Ireland.  I read you are from America.  Who are you trying to trace?   Gerry
