I am the 3x Granddaughter of Elizabeth Kimmons from Tully Rd, Limavady. She married John Smyth in 1837.(John was Presbyterian) I am also a DNA match to Liam of Derry who has contributed to this post. My match to Liam is on both paternal and maternal sides as Margaret Holmes was my Great Grandmother's sister. Margaret Holmes, the sister, married Joe MisKimmons. They were Catholics living around Josephine Avenue.c 1890s. I think there was a huge falling out over religion as my Presbyterian Grandfather, Joe Smyth married Mary Holmes' daughter (Hannah Guiler) in the RC Church of Limavady in 1911 and my Mother reports of bitterness&threatening behaviour over the early IRA that separated the families. I am definitely DNA related to the Miskimmons/Cummings of Limavady. Today I saw a historical photo of my Uncle Smyth with Willie Cummings and their McCool cousins out pigeon racing. Limavady Past and Present.
