William McGreece and wife Jane Cashore [Cashon] were married at Tubrid Church, Kesh 19th July 1826 and have 4 children's baptisms recorded at Tubrid Church, Kesh, Fermanagh
Anne Jane b 1833, Alexander b 1835, John b 1838, Thomas b 1841
However 2 earlier children, Sidney [female] b c1827 and William b c1829 birth places are not known and am unable to find a birthplace, accurate date and parent details for William or Jane; family records indicate Wm born 1804/ 1805
Other instances of this family name occur in Spinning Wheel records, Tithe Books; Hugh and Patrick but no connection known
Have a burial record for Sidney McGreece 29/4/1859, Boa Island, Templecarn, Donegal. [ Definitely not Sidney b 1827, married Patrick Gallagher /Gallacher and died in SCT ] So assume may William's [ b 1804 ] mother given naming patterns
Alexander McGreece b 1835 and Margaret Graham married 1st May 1856 Tubrid Church, Parish of Drumkerran, Co Fermanagh [ Tubrid Church records]
Alexander, son of William McGreece and Jane Cashon [Cashore] b 30th Aug 1835 [Tubrid Church records] and Margaret, dau of William Graham and Jane or Anne Kennedy? [ uncertain of Margaret's mother] b 8th Mch 1836 Curraghmore, Parish of Drumkerran, Co Fermanagh; Margaret's parents married 25th Jan 1927 Templecarn Parish, Donegal
Margaret's sister Isabelle married Charles Sproule 30th Aug 1854 Tubrid Church; other sisters Eliza and Catherine
Partic interested in details of William Graham and his wife also
Have not been able to further research of this family since last posting 2 years ago; not for want of trying !!!
Am unable to visit to view records in person and have paid researchers to find most of what is known to date !! William and Jane along with children Anne Jane and Alexander emmigrated to Australia in 1857 and 1859

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the long delay in getting back to you.
I hope someone with a connection to the family will be in touch. In the meantime, I wanted to invite you to add your ancestor's details to our XO Chronicles. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others.
Best wishes
