Thanks for time and effort AC.
Any chance of trying to fine a birth for Thomas Donachie b1831c. Sorry don't know any more details.
Some of the spellings I have found for Donachie are as follows
Donachy donochie
donechy donnichie
donahy
donaghy
Would appreciate any help you can give

Thanks AC

James and Ellen Matchett are proving rather elusive.

Any suggestions on how I can I search parish records - Parish Register for Cloncore: Tartaraghan Parish Anglican Church - where they were married.

Was also told that they lived in Clonmarkate when first child Mary Matchett was b. 1844.

By the way I am in New Zealand so need to contact someone to do the search? Local genealogy group to contact perhaps?

Hi AC

Thanks for the kind offer

Not sure how far back you can look but I am seeking the mother's name for Alexander McMEEKIN born 1834 in Ballymena, Co Antrim. I know his father was Thomas and he married Martha MILLER in 1857 also in Ballymena. Martha was born c1836 but I don't know her parents names.

They had 2 chn in Ireland that I know of before they came to Australia; Elizabeth c1857 and James in 1860.

Anything would be appreciated please!

Thank you
Cherilyn

Hi again

Can I push my luck and ask about another line please?

I have Andrew LINDSAY born c1887 in Archill, Ardstraw, County Tyrone, son of John LINDSAY, butcher. At the time of his marriage in Jan 1909, aged 21 and a half, Andrew was a blacksmith in Archill. Anything on his parents would be great thank you!

Cheers
