Hi I tried to obtain certificate for Catherine from SP but no luck, however I did have my GG Grandfathers B/C and it just states as you know marriage details. Duncan O'Hara married Margaret Hegarty on 22/11/1850 in Campbeltown. She died inn 1871. On his death cert it shows two marriages 1st to Mary McNeil and then to Margaret Hegarty so I don't think the two are related.
Sorry I don't have any good information to give you.
If you can find anything that would be great but please don't put yourself out.
Thanks again
Carolann

Hi Carolann, Catherines b.c. is on S.P. but for some reason it didn't come up the first couple of times, but I did an O'hara search for 1855 Argyll, and it came up with one other.
Right. Duncan was born in a place called Cushendun, Culfreightrin, Co. Antrim.

I'll get back to you. Also the Mcneil info may be useful. In the meantime you can happily google for Culfreightrin Parish records etc. See what's available , even if it's not online, the L.D.S. may have filmed them (I haven't looked yet)

Hi again, On Griffiths Valuation for Cushendun there are 3 entries for O'Haras. 2 Patricks and a John. At the moment I can't see if the 2 Patricks may be the same person as my image viewer is playing up. However all three entries are renting from an Edmund McNeill. Whilst we can't tell from G.V. what relationship these could be to your Duncan, I think they are most certainly 'yours' in some shape or form. i.e. brothers to Duncan, cousins, nephews etc.

The above link to PRONI gives the townland maps for the Parish of Culreightrin.

The surname Scally is a present in the neighbourung townland of Cushleake mountain North, 2nd and 3rd nearest, Coolnappoge and Drumnakeel.

Thank you for this information. I went back into SP and downloaded the certificate. It certainly does give a lot more information than the normal birth certificates.
I will look at the information more carefully at the weekend and let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.

Carolann, Re: O'Haras

You might find this page useful for background info.

Also, as my image viewer is now working, there are a few other McNeills in close proximity to the Cushendun O'Hara's, including a James and a Malcolm. If you would like the detailed info , send me a private message with your e-mail.
