Our Newry Connections
DownNewry (Down)
My husband lived just outside of Newry until he was 12 years old. He and his immediate family emigrated, first to Australia and then to New Zealand.
All his ancestors are from the Newry and Kilkeel area. I'll list the earliest known ancestor for each name.
CUNNINGHAM James c 1800 Newry, wife may be Ellen CARR
McCULLOUGH James c 1800 no wife's name
WHARTON George (c 1793-1877) Crobane no wife's name
WILSON Benjamin (c 1820-1905) Derrylecka no wife's name
McMINN James (c1810-??) Benagh no wife's name
GLENNY Robert (c1800-??) Dysart no wife's name
EDGAR William (c 1822-1882) Kilkeel wife Jane COFFEY
COFFEY Samuel (c1822-1899) Kilkeel wife Jane COFFEY
