Re: [Bann Valley] Caldwell/McConaghie/Woodend from Articlave



Brian
a couple of points. I had a science teacher called "miss Woodend" in the
1960s in Bushmills Grammar School; as far as we knew at that time, her
Christian name was "miss" but I think she may have been Margaret, so could
have been a niece. She was I think living in Coleraine at that time.
Also Mrs McCaughan, the wife of the present minister of Dunboe, has written
a (published) history of the congregation and is involved with history in
general. The church website could be a way to contact her. If that doesn't
work , send me a personal email and I'll send you her own email address
