Hi Sheelagh,



I think I may have worked it out. I think Patrick Clark is meant to be Patrick Clerkin. The relationship would then be brother-in-law. It is obviously spelt wrong.

Thankyou Starlight for your help patrick and jennie are from here in draperstown, and i think you are right. thankyou again.

Is there anywhere I could find out what happened to the mcgraths after 1930. If mary and james are still alive have they had children/married, if patrick married and so forth, i am really excited about the information and i know that i cannot keep the hope up, so it is necesary to find out what may have happened to them.
