I am new to this website, but am excited about the possibilities. We had =
found a great-great-grandfather in the Bann Valley, in the Parish of =
Errigal, his name recorded as farming a piece of land in the Valuation =
of Tenements, but had so far no record of birth, marriage or death. Now =
through this site I have found his family in the Visitation record of =
the First Garvagh Presbyterian Church for 1850.=20
It reads:
Page 42, Visited in Caa 19 Dec 1850
Several names listed
Page 44
Stuart McAleese
Jane wife
N of chil
Thos also Archd
Margaret also Jas
Jane also Betty
Mary
Does anyone have any connection to the name McAleese, or McLees as my =
great-grandfather became when he emigrated to Scotland?
Is the place "Caa" an abbreviation? Of what?
We believed the Townland to be Gortnamoyagh but I have not found it in =
present day maps.
Other family names are:
Stuart m. Jane Crawford Glen abt 1830
2 previously known children: Margaret and James (my g-grandfather)
Other children listed: Thomas, Archibald, Jane, Betty, Mary
Stuart's sister Margaret m. William Dobbins June 23, 1860 in Coleraine, =
a widower
James m. Elizabeth Porter Jan. 19, 1860 in Gortnamoyagh, Parish of =
Errigal
Children, all born in Scotland: Emma, David Porter, Samuel James,(my =
grandfather), Stewart, Margaret Johnson, named for her maternal =
grandmother, Thomas Stewart, Archibald Smith
Note family names are carried over 3 generations in several instances =
e.g. Archibald
I would love to hear from anyone who might have some connection, if not =
the names, then to the areas of Garvagh, Gortnamoyagh, "Caa"
