[4qd-bannvalley] Bann Valley people in Bushmills.

[4qd-bannvalley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Derek Torrens)]

Hello, I was looking through the Records of Bushmills Presbyterian Church a
few weeks ago and couldnt help notice the amount of people who were married
there who came from the Bann Valley area.
I know that some of these famillies are of interest to some of  the people
on this List, thats why I decided to take note of them all, after all, Some
of you may never have thought that some of  relations from the Kilrea &
Garvagh areas would end up getting Married as far north as Bushmills !!
Which is probably about 15 - 20 Miles away.

Anyhow, I hope some of these may help;-
