A couple of GR members have the McGinnes name in trees - born Derry, Ireland

If this is the right man, get in touch to find out if they know more than you and are willing to share info

Advised to continue on here to keep everything together.

Well, some things - there's an earlier thread too:

John, did you ever get a copy of Bernard's possible death cert, as advised on that earlier thread?

Did you ever contact the people with the name in their GR trees?

Sorry, but there's no point in asking for help if you don't follow the advice you are given.
