Hi Mark

Your names mentioned in your posts were of interest to me.  My Mother's family were all from around this area.  I do recall her talking of the Thompsons.  My 1st cousin once removed in-law was Edward Thompson married to Nellie Braithwaite and a Henry Thompson 1st cousin once removed in-law was married to a Agnes Harbinson.  Do these names mean anything to you?

Don't mean anything at the moment, but I'll be revisiting the PRO at some stage to try and find the correct Thompson family - there are at least three different families that appear to have no connections - perhaps they are connected back in the 1700s but nothing apparent from the mid to late 1800s connecting them.

Will certainly look out for those names the next time I'm there.

HI Maggieblue...

At this point I cannot confirm or deny???

I have a John Close b. circa 1808, believe his father is James Close from Magheragall (but am still trying to confirm) John Married Elizabeth Davis....so far can absolutely confirm/prove three son's, James Watson b. 13Aug1845, baptised 26 Oct 1845 Magheragall Parish Church (my gggrandfather), Jacob b 13 Aug 1841, baptised 14Aug1841 Mag. Parish church and John b. Jun 1843, Ballycarickmaddy, baptised 13Nov1843 Mag parish church.....believe there were more children for John and Elizabeth...but have not found them yet...harder searching when your in Canada... but the name Margaret runs through all the familygenerationsI have to date???   from 1845-present day....

Would be interesting to compare notes....I see names in your list affiliated with my Close's...Lyttle(buried in a Close grave), Thompson (Francis Thompson was a witness to James Watson's marriage in 1866)   

All the Best

Hi Wendy.
Thanks for your very quick reply, but i'm afraid it does not help. I have never head of the name Hedley in my family. But I know so little and am really clutching at straws.
