  • Notes 

    • The Cranagh (or Crannagh as it was spelled originally) is a farm situated about 2 or 3 miles north of Coleraine, County Londonderry. The Crannagh Fishery was at the same area at the river. The house was situated overlooking the River Bann on the Portstewart Road.
      The only info I had on Annie Gillis was her wedding certificate (that stated her father was a farmer at the Mullan, Ballymoney area) and, yes, I did find that info about he being a teacher. The census records for 1901 & 1911 also confirm she was born in County Antrim.


      She was a teacher and moved from Monaghan to Antrim some time before she got married. She taught at the little National School at Ballymacwilliam.
