Cherry family’s of County Down
« on: Thursday 23 April 20 08:09 BST (UK) »
Hi
I’m looking for any Cherry’s in County Down that done family trees.
I am connected to the Cherry’s of Raffrey, Ballytrim, Ballyalgin County Down. Have you done a DNA TEST ON ancestry???
I’m also stuck on a few of my ancestors, I have always wondered are the Cherry’s of Clough, Ards, Dromore, Lisburn and Raffrey connected???
I would love to compare trees.
Thanks
Andy

Yes I’ve done a DNA test on Ancestry and 23&Me.  I’m also on Gedmatch.  I recently did some research and I do think there is a Cherry link somewhere. My parents emigrated to the US in 1949. However, I am DNA related to Cherry’s that came over to the US in the late 1600s or early 1700s from what I can tell.  Also I’m related to some Cherry line from England that dates around the same time (although my Direct Cherry line in the 1800s are Irish Presbyterians.

Ok that’s great! is your surname Cherry? Because I don’t have many above 20Cm unfortunately. Where in Ireland were your Cherrys from? Yes all of mine are Presbyterian. My 4x great grandad was born 1798 but Im pretty sure his parents/grandparents also lived in the same area due to griffiths valuations.
Thanks
Andy

Andy - yes. My Cherry’s are from Clough, Drumclaw in Down. My
GGGG GF James was born around 1800 and has a number of relatives, several of which I can trace a DNA connection to. I’ve an Ancestry tree bkcherry29 that is public or I can send you an email link to my tree if you aren’t on Ancestry. My best guess now is that the Cherry’s came over to Ireland in the 1600-1700 from England, probably during the Plantation period or before. Mine left Ireland for Scotland in the 1860-1870s.

My Cherry’s are from Clough, Drumclaw in Down.

Do you mean Drumcaw? There is no Drumclaw townland.

This is west of the townland of Clough.

Yes.  That’s correct. Drumclaw.  Are you any relation ?  Would love to find more details on the Cherrys in Ireland.
