Hi there,
I just posted a query on the message board for the parish of blaris regarding James Dunbar b. abt. 1812. James was a weaver and lived in the townland of Gortnacor. He was married to a woman named Jane. I have been trying to find the parish record of their marriage to learn their father's names and Jane's maiden name. Their children were baptized in the parish of Aghalee. I believe their oldes child was born about 1848.
One of my Dunbar ancestors, Margaret Dunbar (b. 1888) died in Magheramesk in 1911, so I thought I would try my luck posting here as well.
Sorry if I'm duplicating my query unnecessarily.
