Relative trying to find McAvoy descendants

A WOMAN is hoping someone can shed some light into her family tree.

Annie Jackson is looking for someone who can help her trace her mother’s family called McAvoys, originally from Ballycolin.

Annie’s mother was called Anne, and her grandfather was Patrick and his wife was Sarah who lived in Ballycolin. Annie was able to locate Patrick, who was born in 1871, his mother Eliza Evans and a brother John who was born in 1882 and another called Hugh who was born in 1876.
