Thanks for the photos - very much appreciated. It's an area I never thought much about until recently. I had always thought (and was told) that my surname was of Scottish origin. But after some genealogical research and new family connections (DNA) it turns out my paternal grandparents' family came to Canada from County Down, specifically between Belfast and Bangor. This coincided with the potato famine in the 1840s.
