McIntyre's from somewhere in Ireland
I am trying to trace the birthplace of my gg grandfather and his family.
all I know is that his name was OWEN MCINTYRE (can be spelt different ways).He married MARY who was born abt 1821 (so I assume Owen was around the same age).Two children that I know of were his son, MICHAEL MCINTYRE, my great grandfather, born abt 1853 and his daughter, ANNIE MCINTYRE born abt 1860.
The family were all born somewhere in Ireland.By 1881 Owen was deceased and the rest of the family were living in Wigan, Lancs.
I do have some information, obtained from someone with access to Griffiths, which shows an Owen McIntyre in the following places:
Skeagh, Knockbride, Cavan.
Abbeylands, Kilbarron, Donegal.
Corporation, Killybegs Upper, Donegal.
Magherageery, Blaris, Down
Legland, Ardstraw, Tyrone.
I don't know whether any of these Owen's is connected in any way to my gg grandfather.
If anyone has any information on any of these people please get in touch, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks
Jenny
