Hello all,
This is my first mail and it is a long shot. I am looking for =
a Stewart person or family who moved from the Garvagh area, according to =
family tradition, between 1740 and 1796 and settled in the area north of =
Dungiven, apparently being the first Stewarts in the area. The Flax =
Growers Register lists Mary and John in the parish of Bovevagh and =
William and George in the parish of Dungiven. A George took a lease in =
the townland of Derryork in 1798 and he lived in the townland of =
Gortgarn,both in the parish of Dungiven. In 1812 probate was granted to =
a will of George Stewart of Gortgarn. In the 1831 census there is a =
Robert Stewart and a George Stewart in Gortgarn. My GGrandfather was =
born in 1815 and by 1857 he had a farm in Derryork. He married Elizabeth =
Irwin about 1842.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Morrison Stewart
