James Kirk
« on: Tuesday 07 February 17 13:48 GMT (UK) »
Hello.

I am looking for any information about my Gr-Gr-Grandmother all I know is she was married to James Kirk he was born in 1815 in Raffrey Killinchy Co Down. They had a son called David Kirk born 1843 he was married to Rosanna McGreevy I believe they lived in Comber at one time because thats where my Grandfather John Alexander Kirk was born in 1871.

Thanks.
Mike Kirk.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I have all the people you have listed in the Census, I have them all in my Family Tree and I have seen Ros Davies site but it is my Gr-Gr- Grandmother married to James Kirk I would like to know about.

Thanks again.

Raffery Presbyterian Church records are available from 1843. Whilst this misses the marriage, have you checked them for David's 1843 birth, which hopefully gives his mum's name?
