[4qd-bannvalley] Workman-McCauthy (also McConnell, Stewart, Sim(s), Madden, Campbell, & McDowall) from Co Derry near Bovedy



Coleen,

I haven't taken time to study this yet, but I see you
have more information on one of my Stewarts.  James
Stewart who married Charlotte Workman.  I am very very
excited to see more of their children born in Canada!
James' parents were James Stewart and Elizabeth
(Betty) Fulton of Killymuck, Tamlaght O'Crilly parish.

I will get back to you later.  Many many thanks for
posting this.
