Hello Lindsay -
I have a copy of a family tree of Carnwaths of Leckpatrick that came from a PRONI file identified as T2118. It is a negative image and a bit hard to read but I can figure out most of it. I will scan and send to you off line. If anyone else is interested please send your e-mail address to me at jfpolk at comcast.net and I will send a copy. It traces back to a Patrick Carnwath (b.1747) who married Elizabeth Pollock of Pollockstown, Leckpatrick, g-granddaughter of Charles Pollock (1660-1737) who is buried in Leckpatrick in grave site now belonging to Carnwath family. Patrick was son of James Carnwath of Stonypath, Leckpatrick, who m. a Miss Walker, and was son of an Andrew Carnwath. There is a note on the tree as follows: "The Cornwaths appear to have been settled as farmers in Stoneypath about 1650 onwards and were associated with Donagheady Presyterian Church. I found for example that Andrew Carnwath was a ruling Elder or commissioner of Donagheady between the years 1672 & 1700. Joseph Carnwath left Stoneypath in 1881." I do not find a Sarah Carnwath on the tree but there is one note under John and William Carnwath, sons of James Carnwath (b.1747, son of Patrick) and Nancy Wray, which may be relevant - "in Canada; Mrs Graham is a daughter of one of these two. She has two sons (one a surgeon, the other an apothecary)." A number of Carnwaths migrated to Canada. I don't see any who headed for Australia or NZ.

I think there was a John Carnwath at Killymallaght in co. Londonderry in 1831 (spelling not clear in the 1831 Census). Sincerely Dave Mitchell Cape Town South Africa From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lindsay Graham Sent: 12 June 2017 10:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CoTyroneIreland] New Content from Len Swindley & GRAHAM research I have to add my thanks for all that Len Swindley has contributed to the CTI website. I have looked through some of Len's files and intend to look through many more of them. You have put a great deal of thought and effort into this work, Len, and I certainly appreciate it, even if I haven't found any nuggets of gold -- yet!! Like Susan, my plan is to search whatever files I can find for any mention of my GRAHAM ancestors. My great grandparents, William GRAHAM and Sara CARNWATH, were married in Leckpatrick, Strabane in 1855 and left almost immediately for Australia. Any likelihood of a connection with your GRAHAMs, Susan?

So you will be pleased to hear that I have copied every reference to these family names in Co Tyrone in the hope that one day I can match them up with ancestors we DO have given names and dates for. One day I hope I will be able to tell you that I have actually found a match! Extremely grateful for your data, particularly as it is so well presented and easy to read.

Some of my indexes to the individual Tyrone parishes' tithe applotment books amount to in excess of sixty pages and there were a couple that exceeded seventy. Actually, the Donagheady file consists of in excess of 200 marriages: when the rector (or his clerk) reached the first hundred, instead of continuing, he reverted back to #1; thus #101 is actually #201. I would be pleased to hear from researchers who have benefitted from this data.
