Hello Tania
Good luck with your travels, and your heritage journey! While there are several websites with online maps, the 1”-to-the-mile Ordnance Survey map series might be useful to you. The enclosed is a link to my scanned Dropbox copy for the area between Strabane and Londonderry (should download as a .pdf file -- shared subject to copyright!). Leckpatrick is in the bottom left-hand corner. https://tinyurl.com/y5epoddb In the later 1800s, my kinsman Rev. Robert Mitchell was the incumbent minister at the Leckpatrick Presbyterian Church.

I live in Auckland, New Zealand. My father William Sharkey was born on 24 January 1917 and the documents I have for him record that he was born in Strabane, County Tyrone. My grandparents were Henry Sharkey and Mary/Martha/Margaret Sharkey (née Brown). From recent information received, I understand they are buried in Leckpatrick Presbyterian Cemetery. I understand my grandfather was born on 8 February 1889 and died in 1966 and my grandmother was born in 1885 and died in 1930. I do know that my father had many siblings: George, Ann, Martha (Molly), Sally, Harry, Florence. I understand my father and his siblings attended Ballylaw Primary School. I do not know much about my Irish heritage. My father was 63 when I was born and I was 7 years old when he passed away. He did not leave much information behind about his family. If anyone should have any information I would be truly grateful. I am traveling to Ireland in September 2019 to visit County Tyrone and the cemetery where my grandparents are buried. I would love to find where Ballylaw Primary was and if I can find the home where my father was raised (or area) or any documents relating to the family. Thank you.
