I'm interested in connecting up with anyone else that is researching the Press family of Northern Ireland. Mine seem to be originally in the County Down area. .........Ed

Hi Ed,

Do you have any first names or maiden names and dates to go with Press?

I have access to some Press marriages 1845 to 1923, births 1867 to 1875, and 3 Press deaths (1877 Robert, 1879 James, and 1888 Eliza).

Let me know if any of this would be useful.

Best wishes

Brenda

My direct line ancestor, William Cleland Press, came to America about 1849.He was born in 1830. I don't have anything on the line that stayed in Ireland. William's parents are George Press b. abt 1781 in Antrim and Anne Jane Seeds b. abt 1810 in Antrim. The children of George and Anne are Vere b. 1820 in Down, John b. 1822 in Down, Anne b. 1827 in Down, my William and James b. 1833 in Down. The parents of George are John Press b. abt 1755 and Ann Seed.

Hi Ed,

Those dates look a little earlier than what is contained in the index I have access to. There are a few early Seeds/Seed entries. I have sent you a pm and we shall proceed from there.

Best wishes
