Margaret McWhinny

DownDown (Down)

I am looking for information on my Great-great grandmother, Margaret McWhinny, born about 1820. She married Jack Gribbin and had one son, John about 1850. John Gribbin stated he was born in Portglennone, County Antrim. When William died she married William Anderson and they had two sons, Archie and William. The last I can find out about her is on the 1901 census where she is listed as RC, a beggar woman who is boarding with another woman in Downpatrick.  What happened to her? Where are the Andersons sons?
