Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 210 Send Message	I am told my GG Grandfather John McCauley (or McAuley) built a five bedroomed house called Tara House, on Main Street, Ballynahinch, County Down. According to my Great Aunt he sold it to the Church for curates to live in. Does anyone out there know Ballynahinch well enough to let me know if the building still exists? Paul
