Hi,
I am trying to find information on the above lady who was born in Northern Ireland
about 1821, she married a Thomas McKnight and there was children Margaret,
Thomas and Sarah who I believe were born in Ireland, they came to County Durham I think about 1849/1850. If anyone can help me with any information about Margaret or any of her family it would be most helpful.
Thanks
Jane.
