Hi Jap

Thanks for that information, I didn't know he remarried so that's a big surprise in all these new people. 

James Little is James and Jane's 5th child and this too was his 2nd marriage I believe, his 1st was to a Hannon.  His sister Hannah married a Roderick Gollan so I am guessing this was how they met (or it could have been the other way around).  I am assuming Mary Jane to be the daughter of William's first marriage.  All very interesting.

Regards Kate

Well, I suppose it was your William re-marrying - but can't be certain.

Some other deaths - then I'll stop!

I think drumbanagher I may have spelt wrong

Now I'm confused- have I missed something in earlier posts? Where does Drumbanagher come into all this? There are two townlands called Drumbanagher in Ireland- one in Monaghan and one in Armagh.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi aghadowey,

Drumbanagher - and Poyntzpass - are over on:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,244508.0.html
where you kindly located them for Kate.

Thanks JAP- I somehow thought it was connected to Gordons & this place 'Newton' when the name just seemed to appear here.

SORRY aghadowey, my mistake,  I was replying to JAP about 2 seperate posts more relating to problems with searching than to do with the places mentioned.   You had already answered my post in regards to Poyntz Pass and Drumbanagher.
