Message Board Post:
I am desperately trying to trace the lineage of my G-G-Grandfather, James Canning who
married Ellen (Helen) Cook (McCook)in 1833 at First Garvagh Pres Church and had children,
Mary, Agnes, William, Margaret, Helen and Hannah. they show in the Kirkcolm 1851 census
and I know they returned to Derry, Ireland because they are buried at Saint Paul's
Church in Garvagh. Their son, William, married Sarah Jane Young and came to the US
(Pennsylvania - Montgomery County)in the 1880's. They married at the Parish church of
Aghadowey. I have found Ellen McCook's parents, William and Mary, but cannot find the
parents and siblings of James. James was born abt. 1809 and was an agricultural worker.
Any help would be appreciated.
