Hello, Hope that someone can assist in tracing my Harran ancestors. I am descended from Patrick Harran of Clones, he had a son John (born 28th November 1827 - gleaned from his attestation papers when he was recruited to the 1st of Foot Royal Scots on 28th May 1847), and a daughter Mary (listed as John's next of kin). That is all the detail I have at the moment. Any information would be most appreciated. Thank you, Harranquest.
