See that there's still a Craig family in Benvardin in 1911 census- perhaps related?

Many thatnks for the offer but I'm more interested in the McIlroy side of the house.

Hi
I was searching post for McIlroy information and came across your post. I have a Jeannie and Gilbert McIlroy in my tree.  Perhaps we can chat and exchange information.  I didn't know that Mary's middle name was Moon.  Although my main interest if McIlroy and McKee, I did add your post info about the Craig family that you got from Aghadowey monitor.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Moon surname comes from Annie Greer Moon of Managher who married William McKee- many of her descendants continue to use it as a middle name.

Hi,
I too am married to a descendant of Gilbert Kennedy McIlroy. Thank you all so much for the helpful information you have contributed. From the above, I am struggling to understand the connection from Patrick McIlroy to Gilbert K. McIlroy. Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks,
