--Father was John. Wife - Jane. 

--Samuel had siblings including - William, David, Thomas, Robert, John, Richard, James and Elizabeth. Primary School - Mt Ennis School (per Census).  Robert's great grandson 'Sonny Magee' was living on the farm in 2011.

2. Margaret Jane Griffith (1848 - 1920).
--Father was Simon (Abt. 1800-1877). Residence of Glen. Church of Ireland. Mother unknown.

Any additional details about Samuel Magee and/or Margaret Jane Griffith would be greatly appreciated. For example, location of the family farm, relatives, burial sites, local church documents, further ancestry information, etc.  

 

As well. I will be visiting the area and would genuinely appreciate any local assistance that may be available. Dates: 8Apr-14Apr (13th & 14th work best). Is that enough time?

Warm regards
