Leech/Leitch, McIvor - Glack, Ballykelly

[k3]

I am seeking information about my gggrandparents, William Leech and Mary Ann McIvor.  They had at least three children while they were living in Glack, Bridget Jane (b. 1859), my ggrandfather, Abraham (b. 1861) and Catherine (b. 1863), all baptised at St Finlough's, Ballykelly.  Mary Ann was born in Drumgavenny.

Hi,
    Using the information in this post with the information in your Antrim posting has led me to check a book which was published recently by a local history group. It details the ownership of a small farm in Drumgavenny and seems to include all the names you appear to be looking for. If you have not come across the book I can send you details and the address ofthe person who may be able to supply a copyand if not I can transcribe the information.

Regards

Hello again Kingskerswell.  Thank you for your reply.  I have a copy of Gelvin: The Home Place, and it does contain some information about the people in whom I am interested.  I was fortunate to be able to meet a couple of the people associated with the book prior to its publication, and thanks to them, my research has gone a little beyond the scope of the book.  While progress on the McIvors has been surprising, the Leechs/Leitchs and the McVeighs continue to elude me.
