Patrick McCann and Family of Moneynebane, Dromara, County Down
Hello, I am relatively new at Irish genealogy. I just took some classes on it, and I am trying to find records for my ancestor Patrick McCann and his Wife, Mary McReavy (sp?) I am mostly looking for where they were buried. We believe they both would have been born around 1815-1820. and don't have any idea when they died. Someone added a date to the Family Search website that we can not verify for Mary McReavy of 5 April 1883.
The oldest child we have records of was Norah C McCann, born in 1835 and died in America in 1905. We have found Baptism records for most of their children in the Dromara Parish in the 1830-1850. So we know they were Catholics. It seems that half of their kids came to America and half stayed. We have some information on their son, Francis McCann, and daughters, Eliza Marmion and Kathrine Morgan, who were said to have remained in Ireland. These 3 who remained I don't have much information on.
When researching the area, mostly Roman Catholic cemeteries. I am not finding many McCanns buried at the cemeteries in Dromara. Yet on the Griffith Valuation, I am seeing multiple different McCanns in Moneynebane. Where would they have been buried if not in any cemetery in Dromara? I have been looking online and also at the FamilyHistory Library, where they are 22 volumes of Inscriptions of gravestones in Down County. I looked in Volume 19, which has Dromara cemeteries, and found only a few McCanns.
Can you please help me know where I can look next?
