I am looking for help to try and find any relatives in Northern Ireland of my
gg grandmother above. I am not sure if she was born in Comber, but on the
1911 English Census my gg grandfather Robert Maughan is down as living
in Cummer which I have read is the old name for Comber. The only other
document I have is that her eldest child Alexander was baptised in the Comber
Church of Ireland but there Surname is down as McMahon. I am sure there must be relatives still in Northern Ireland. The first English Census they are on
1851 down as McMahon.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Jane.

You could alter your heading to include Ireland, so people with more specialised knowledge could help.
Also, you have put this on Find Living Relatives - they are not still alive and some helpers do not look at the FLR board, so you might have been better using Find Ancestors.
Do you want to try posting on there, acknowledging that you started on here?
