Notes: 		Roger McKirgan listed as Grooms father on marriage certificate.  Ann Winlocks 			father listed as Thomas Winlock/Wanlock, mother Mary Pickering, sister Mary Jane 		Winlock.

		As Thomas resided in Portstewart at time of marriage I have been researching farms 		in that 	area. I have located McKirgans with similar names, Thomas, John, etc in 			Glenmanus but have yet to establish a link with Roger.

		The 1901 and 1911 Census of Ireland show McKirgans listed as Church of Ireland, I 		am assuming as Thomas and James married there that the same would apply to all 		the family. Further research of the census on my part should confirm this.
