Hello Lindsay, Perhaps the following CARNWATH data may assist your research; apologies for the delay with a response; it has taken a little while to search out the references and compile it into something legible.

In the Presbyterian Church, Urney, by the Rev. John McConaghy, A.M., MR. JOSEPH CARNWATH, Leckpatrick, to MARY, eldest daughter of MR. JOSEPH PORTERFIELD, Gortlogher According to an old map Leckpatrick Old Burial Ground, Artigarvan surveyed in the 1870s there are two burial places for Carnwaths of Stonypath (not to be confused with the graveyard attached to Leckpatrick Presbyterian Church) and one headstone for the family of Collermoney: names recorded are MARY (1879) infant son WILLIAM (1870) infant dau MARY (1872) son JOSEPH WRAY (1880) dau ANNIE MARY (1897) ELIZABETH JANE (1905) JOHN (husband to the above 1957) SARAH (1960) This is a very old graveyard dating from pre-Reformation times and would contain many generations of Carnwaths. Prior to 1834 (the year of the erection of Leckpatrick as a new congregation) Presbyterian families would have worshipped in the churches at Donagheady (First and Second) or Strabane (First and Second), hence the various churches with useful records. The majority of the above references were extracted from submissions to CTI https://cotyroneireland.com/ by Faye Logue and yours truly. We have been researching and submitting data and files re. Leckpatrick and Donagheady families for in excess of thirty years. Regarding the Grahams, I recall sending you information previously re. the Sigerson family who operated a spade foundry in Artigarvan where Robert Carnwath (occupation foundryman) the bride’s father, found employment. Also, to ascertain the origins of the Graham family it will be necessary to search for the enlistment papers for Haman Graham in the records of the 35th Regiment. Hope the above is useful for your impending visit to beautiful North Tyrone and regards, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Lindsay Graham via CoTyroneList Sent: Thursday, 25 April 2019 9:44 PM To: County Tyrone List Cc: Lindsay Graham Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Hammond (or Haman) & Nancy GRAHAM I'm keen to find out more about my gg grandparents and any other descendants, especially as I'll be visiting County Tyrone later this year. My g grandparents, William GRAHAM and Sarah CARNWATH were married on 15 Feb 1855 in the Presbyterian Church, Artigarvan, Parish of Leckpatrick (near Strabane) and migrated to Australia a few months later. They were married by Rev. Moses CHAMBERS and the witnesses were James SIGERSON and John CUNNINGHAM. William's parents were Haman (or Hammond?) GRAHAM [Pay Master Sergeant, 35th Regiment, British Army] and Nancy GRAHAM (maiden name unknown). After a long break working on other family branches, I'd now like to find out more about Hammond and Nancy, but my efforts over the last few days have borne little fruit. Does anyone have links to this couple or can anyone suggest avenues of further research that might bear fruit? Grateful for any suggestions. Lindsay Graham Canberra, Australia
