A big thank you to the North of Ireland Family History Society who operate a volunteer run lookup service, for members who do not live in the North of Ireland.Â
I had found what I believed to be the parents of my great grandfather William Gilmour McCann. I knew their names, occupations and approximate dates of birth from the marriage and death certificates of William McCann and Eliza McConnell.
