Posted by Marjorie Munroe I know that my Grandpa's father was James William McKee born Born: October 30, 1862 in Bangor and Died: May 23, 1919. The above James William McKee's parents were: Don't know if John remarried in New Zealand and who raised the kids once he left?????????? The above John's parents: If anyone could help me or tell me how to find any further information on these McKee's or MacGowan's or Agnew's I would really appreciate it. I have no idea how to find out more information about the family or how to find any further information about the MacGowan family. I would love to find any living relatives too, since I am also putting together the genetic history for these families.

Hi the below message has my information in it. I do know that a couple of my Mother's cousins moved to Australia and we believe the Melborne area. One female cousin married a Doyle and had a son and the second husband's name was Gentle and they also had a son. Her name was Greta McKee. And I think her brother was Jim McKee. Read the info below and see if you see any connection?
Hello
I am researching my McKee family history.
My Mother's parents were both born in Northern Ireland. My Grandma Molly (Mary Elizabeth Mullan) was born in Belfast about 1908 and my Grandpa William James McKee was born in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland. My Grandpa and Grandma McKee were both long gone before I was born.
They both moved to Windsor, Ontario, Canada at different times and married in Detroit, Michigan, USA, but lived in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
James' wife was Jane McGowan McKee born Oct 25, 1866, they were living and married in Belfast at the time and married at St Anne's Cathedral. They later moved to Bangor.
Jane's birthplace was Holywood, County Down, Northern Ireland and Died: July 4, 1934. Here parents were Hugh McGowan & Mary Agnew McGowan.
James and Jane had four boys, My Grandpa William James (Bill), John Wesley (Wesley), and twins Marshall & George. My Grandpa and Wesley's family all lived in Canada, but the twins stayed in Bangor. And they relatives mainly live there now.
Some of Marshall's 14 children moved to Australia.
