Our Newry Connections

My husband lived just outside of Newry until he was 12 years old. He and his immediate family emigrated, first to Australia and then to New Zealand.

All his ancestors are from the Newry and Kilkeel area. I'll list the earliest known ancestor for each name.

CUNNINGHAM James c 1800 Newry, wife may be Ellen CARR

McCULLOUGH James c 1800 no wife's name

WHARTON George (c 1793-1877) Crobane no wife's name

WILSON Benjamin (c 1820-1905) Derrylecka no wife's name

McMINN James (c1810-??) Benagh no wife's name

GLENNY Robert (c1800-??) Dysart no wife's name

EDGAR William (c 1822-1882) Kilkeel wife Jane COFFEY

COFFEY Samuel (c1822-1899) Kilkeel wife Jane COFFEY

Yes double COFFEY and also double McMINN as well
