Cornelius McGuckian
Hello,
Seeking information on the family of Cornelius McGuckian, abt.1864-17 Aug 1948, of Glenbuck, County Antrim, Ireland.
He married Mary McGowan, 21 Jan 1867-?, of Clough, County Antrim, on 7 Jan 1888 at the Roman Catholic Chapel of Dunloy in the Registrar's District of Dirraw in the Union of Ballymoney, Antrim.
A tombstone gives the following information:
"In loving memory of James McGuckian, Glenbuck, died 24 Dec 1906, aged 86.His wife Jane, died 9 April 1906, aged 86.And their daughter Jane, died 7 Feb 1907, aged 46.Their daughter Catherine, died 22 April 1939, aged 84.And their son Cornelious(sp), died 17 Aug 1948, aged 85.His wife Mary.Their daughter Annie, died 17 Jan 1967, aged 70.Also, Jennie McGuckian, died 15 Aug 1978, aged 58.Her husband John, died 25 Oct, 1987, aged 70.Erected by their daughter Catherine.R. I. P."
There is reason to believe James McGuckian's wife was (Jane) Anne McClure, daughter of William John McClure and Jane Black (Re: Descendants of McClure website).Mary McGowan was the daughter of John McGowan and Mary McClarnon.Several McGowans went to the US and settled in the Akron, Ohio area.
Cornelius McGuckian and Mary McGowan had nine girls: Susan, Mary, Kate, Maggie (Margaret Augusta, 12 May 1895- 12 July 1961), Jennie, Alice, Annie, Sarah and Lizzie.Mary , Kate and Maggie went to the US, married and raised families.I descend from Maggie and Eddie Martin Meeks, 15 Jan 1897-24 Feb 1970.
Any and all information on this family will be greatly appreciated; including spouses and children of the girls, full names, birth/marriage/death dates and especially anything on James McGuckian and his predecessors.
Thank you,
Marty
