McIlroy

I have the book and know the author well- not the same McKees.

Oh well, it was interesting read.

Have family by the name of McILroy in Aghadowey, Northern Ireland
Would like to hear from any other members of the family.

Welcome to Rootschat, Carmeta.

We aren't allowed to post details of living people but if you are looking for information on ancestors we should be able to help you.

[Carmeta]

in the  Aghadowey Presbyterian Church Graveyard Records number 220 McIlroy-Singleton-Fronius I can identify all the people except for "also in loving memory of Dorothy Glenn Fronius, nee McIlroy, 1934-1983"

Do you know who she was and whose child she was?

Thank you

Carmeta- I explained in the next post (#14) who Doris' parents were. Not sure where you fit into the family tree but once you have 3 posts you'll be able to use PM (Personal Message) system to contact other members offline.

Carmeta,

I did work out that Dorothy was the child of Gilbert and Jenny. However my line ends there. I do not know how to send you a personal message, but would love to be in more direct contact. Perhaps you can a message as you did this time, or Aghadowey have helpful advice. Ian Franklin

Perhaps this is best discussed by PM rather than on this thread.

Hi everyone.
Came across this thread searching for McIlroy.
Have identified the Irish link with John Rogers McIlroy - he married in Manchester in 1870's and was writing to an Alexander McLees in Aghadowey with family news from 1868 - 1871, referring to him as cousin with Alex having a sister Beth, and there being an Uncle Thomas maybe?
I'm trying to identify John Roger's birth (I know his father is Alexander from his wedding certificate) but no luck so far.
I've also found an Annie Rodgers McLees (the Rogers/Rodgers middle name can't be a coincidence) born 1876 in Coleraine that must tie in somewhere but not sure if there's been a adjustment of McLees to McKee?

Any information or a point in the right direction would be great - i've only been able to kick start this off again after proof through the letters that John R was Irish born!

Thanks
Rachel
