Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 76 Send Message	Please help, I'm stuck!! I am looking for Hugh Mccleery my 2nd Gt Grandfather. He had at least one son John 1824) who married Nannie Usher in 1858. They were Antrim people so I assume Hugh was as well. I've not been able to find birth records for John. I've found lots of Hugh's but not the right one. I think I may need to start looking at Parish records. Any help would be great.

Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 76 Send Message	Thanks. He definitely didn't leave Ireland and he had at least one son born in 1824 so birth would be late 1700's I think.

Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 76 Send Message	Thanks. I have marriage and death for John as well as his children and families. It is just his father I can't find.
