Hello County Tyrone,
My Dad's family left Tyrone in 1851 from Glasgow on the Marchioness of
Clydesdale. On board were Margaret with two sons, John 3yrs and Joseph 7
months.
My Dad's told us that the family was "from Omagh". Recently, I found a
McGarvey reference in an obituary from 1911 Philadelphia naming James and
Susan McGarvey from Glencheil, County Tyrone. That location may fit the
premise I hold.
Does someone have a suggestion for further information on McGarvey in
Glencheil?
Thank you,
Lizanne McGarvey Smith
The correct spelling would be Glenchiel...... not eil.
Using our Every Word Search for "McGarvey Glenchiel", I find two very
important references........
