Re: [Bann Valley] Re: Surnames McKay and Gamble from Lislea

[P J Keenan <keenan.pj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am a descendent of a Gamble from the Bann Valley and have done quite
a bit of research, which includes contact with a Gamble descendant in
the Bann Valley. The names Gamble and McKay appear on my website,
which you will find at  thekeenans.id.au. If you let me know the
specific information you are after, I will see what I can locate.

There are several James McKays that could fit for this time period.  Without knowing a birthdate for Agnes or her mother's name, there's not enough to determine which James McKay.

From the records I've seen, I think the David Gamble on the marriage record is the David Gamble who married Nancy Magill.  But I cannot confirm any of this, so following the Gamble lines hasn't yet broken any walls.

It *may* be them, but it may be people completely different.  Since I have Dick, Leith and Campbell connections as well between Portglenone Ahoghill and Cullybackey the possibilities are many.
