I am trying to find any information on my GG, grand farther Patrick Mc Ghnay born about 1830 in Co. Derry, He married Bridget also from Co.Derry, all I know is that he was a farmer, and that he was present at his son's ( John Mc Ghnay) wedding in felling , Co Durham in 1877. No trace of him after then! Many thanks :-) |

Possibly its was how the name came across to the enumerator . accents played a big part and if the people couldn't read or write then theiy would have no idea how the name was being recorded on census /certs etc. |
