Looking for the family of siblings John, James, Patrick, Catherine and Mary McSherry - all alive in the 1840's and believed to be in the Drumlease Parish area. An older brother, Bernard McSherry emigrated to Canada in the 1830's and mentions his brothers and sisters in his 1844 will. Does anyone know of this family?
