Hi I am researching family tree and found your site.
Would you know anything more about Mary Barr. I am trying to establish if there is a connection to an Archibald Barr who may have married a Nancy ?
Apparently he may have been buried at Killykergan Aghadowey around 1884.
Possibly had a son called John who married a Catherine Brittain?
Thank you

My wife’s great grandfather was Archibald Barr of Coleraine. He had a son called John (born circa 1842) who married Catherine Bratton of Londonderry (born circa 1847). They married on September 28th 1869 in the Second Glendermott Presbyterian Church in Lodonderry. There is a suggestion that Archibald married a “Nancy”. In the 1901 Census Nancy Barr is listed as living at 1 Killykergan, Aghadowey, aged 80 and a widow. I think John Barr had siblings-Eliza, Willie, Archie and Mary Barr who may have married James Elder of Aghadowey on May 16th 1862.
Any further information would be appreciated.

For John Reed:
Your great grandfather William Barr had many siblings one of whom was John Barr (born circa 1842) who married Catherine Bratton (born circa 1847) on September 28th 1869. One of John’s sons was Herbert Barr who was my wife’s father. We could exchange info if you wish.
