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.
