Gender
Female

My GGGGrandmother, born around 1820 (guessing). A mystery to me... married John McConnell in either Belfast or County Down.  She is my roadblock! Mother to my GGgrandmother, Sarah McConnell Quigley.   It has been suggested that she may have been a stpmother to  Sarah, as there are records of John, a widower marring a Martha Foreman at around the correct time in County Down.  John McConnell, Martha's husband was a miller, as listed on Sarah's marriage record.  I can find record of no other Martha and John. Interestingly, on the 1901 census John Quigley filled out that Sara'hs birthplace was Belfast, but when she filled it out on her own in 1911 after he passed, she listed it as Dromore. Martha is a mystery to me!  But I am thankful for this labelled photo!
