Re: [Bann Valley] Hello
Hello Linda,
Thank you for the info on Rachel Gilmore and the connection to my grandmother. In my notes I had that as a strong possibility, but I’m delighted to have that little mystery solved.
What other information do you have on the siblings of Thomas McFetridge: James, Alexander,Joseph, and Nancy? I also have a ‘Hugh’ who died as a baby, and a ‘Mary Jane’ born in 1865 (but not sure about her)?
I have as James McFetridge’s father, Alexander (1789- 1882) who married Jane (Jennet) Torrance (1799-1875). Beyond that I have an uncertain James McFetridge - dates unknown?
If you could find that old photo of Margaret McFetridge I’d be thrilled as she was my great grandmother! In fact, any old photo with folks identified is wonderful.
With the Knox’ I have that Thomas Knox (1796-1866) married a Margaret Farly (1799-1859) in 1820. Am I correct about this?
I have lots of gaps even in the recent McClenaghan history so wherever you can help Linda, it would be most appreciated. I’d love to find out your family connections!
Kind Regards,
Sheelagh

I have an old photo of a Margaret McFetridge with a niece which might be her but will take a while to find it. Possibly also an old snapshot taken in the field at Boveedy with a McClenaghan in it as well.
