With regard your first gravestone

This is my great great grandmother and father Thomas and Jane (nee Hamilton)

Francis was my great grandfather his first wife Margaret (Murphy) died, he had tow daughters Sarah Ann and Margaret who both died young.  He then married again to Catherine (McCann) who was the mother of David, Francis, James and Jack and Thomas.

David was the son of Thomas and he died  in 1879.

with regards to the second grave  Francis was the brother of Thomas my great great grandfather, he married Rachel Turkington, most of their family seems to have gone to Australia.

with regard the older Francis Grayson which is illegible I have mention of a francis in the Brownlow rental for 1755, ther is also a Robert.

Do you think that Jane maybe a siste of John Thomas and Francis.

Each family seems to have used the same names, which makes it difficult to work out.


regards

Hi Elizabeth
I thought she might be sister of Francis m Catherine McCann but going on the census  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Armagh/Brownlows/Boconnell/1026933/
he would be born 1824 - is that the right person?
