Round 1859-1961 George and his family were heavily involved with Down Cathedral and Downpatrick C.of I (e,f, Sidesman or Assistant Warden, and theSunday School, and the Temperance movement in the area, and was Head of the Parochial School with one of his daughters asMistress at the school. He was presented with a Writing Desk, in honour of his running the Sunday School and Bible Study Classes.

If anyone knows any more about the family there, I'd be glad to hear of it. Am most interested if there is any information about George's parentage and place of birth, and the date and location of his marriage to Catherine Veitch. The earliest I know of their locations is in Fenagh, Leitrim and Ballyconnell, Cavan, respectively.

They worked as teachers (mostly) in other places through Ireland (mainly Northern) throughout their lives. George might have had Irish or Scottish, but quite possibly Dutch, origin. The family were all talented musically and linguistically, as were their descendants. They were C.of I., but could have had Huguenot origins.
