Greetings!  This is a picture of my wifes great great grandfather born 25 August 1850 in Ahoghill, Down, Ireland.  The photo is taken in South Africa, circa 1940 where he passed away.

I would be interested in connecting with people conducting research in the Ahoghill, and Down county ... specifically with the surname LAW in mind.

Kind regards,

    Irish press warns against Jamaican Indentured Servitude
