McCanns from Legmoylan and Ballykeel

Armagh

Hi

I've hit a brickwall and wondered if someone could help me please?

My great grandfather Patrick McCann born 1846 married Alicia (or Alice) Loy on 25/4/1878 in the Romas Catholic Chapel of Cullyhanna. It states on the marraige certificate the fathers as Henry McCann and Patrick Loy, both farmers. I'm trying to find out Henry's parents names as I am stuck. I think I know who Henry's Grandad is through DNA - Bryan McCann born 1764 in Ballykeel, Forkhill parish, he married Bridget Bennett born 1771 from Ballykeel. I would be so grateful if someone could help me fill the gaps.

kind regards

Shirlie

There are baptisms for children of a Henry McCann and Elizabeth McKee as well, but I don't know if Eliz and Bridget are the same person.

Hi Patricia,

Thank you for your help, I can add the above to my tree and see if I get any DNA matches. I'll let you know how I get on.
