Names from Glenavy/Tullyrusk area?
« on: Sunday 14 March 10 22:05 GMT (UK) »
Hello there!

I'm researching my ancestors (Magee) who lived around the Glenavy area of Co. Antrim. I thought it would be interesting to post up some names associated with the family. They aren't necessarily direct relatives but are mentioned as witnesses in weddings & baptisms.

I'd love to hear from anyone who knows of the people below. They would most likely have lived in the area mentioned above!

Jane Lavery (alive mid 1800's?)
John Magee (alive mid 1800's?)
Robert Mulholland  (alive mid-late 1800's?)
Elizabeth Carion (alive mid-late 1800's?)
William John Wiggans (alive late 1800's/early 1900's?)
Minnie Mc Keoun  (alive late 1800's/early 1900's?)

Orphans named Roseanne, Louisa, Mary-Elizabeth, John Alphonsis & Felix Augustine (all alive late 1800's/ early 1900's

James Mc Cann (who died 20th July 1945)

Sarah Mc Grady & Edward Mc Gee/Magee (alive mid-late 1800's)

Elizabeth Lecky (who married Edward Magee)
Belfast (Falls Area mainly- Leeson St)  & Lisburn - Magee,Mooney, Adair,Darragh, Burns,Martin,Donegan

Hi artygirl,
I'm sending you an email with the 1851 census fragments for Ireland. It contains about 1100pages of info, and there are some records from the area of interest.
Hope it helps.
